Water Curing
    #5371112 - 03/06/06 02:39 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

What is water curing marijuana, ive heard it mentioned before, is it just letting weed sit in water?

Yep, you put it in water for 48 hours I think? And then you dry it using a fan or whatever. A friend of mine did it and it worked fairly well.

No no, it works, there was a whole thread on it on OG (RIP). As long as you don't shake the container it is in you don't loss anymore trichs than you would loss hanging it up and air drying. It's quicker than air drying. People use it who just finished growing a crop and are worried about the smell of alot of curing bud. Using this water method there is no smell you have to worry about. It only gets moldy if you don't put it infront of a fan and just let it sit out drying normally.

It's been well documented as a working curing method. It's actually in some ways superior to regular cure as it washes out anything else in the weed, and the trichomes stay!
I've heard it makes for a smoother smoke, but I don't recall specifics from the OG thread. Basically you take an amount of weed, fully submerge it in water, and agitate the water daily or something. Then in a few days you're left with some cured weed. Usefull if you have bug infested buds, are in a rush, don't wanna stink up the place curing normally, making smoke smoother. I've read it may show less visible trichomes but doesn't get you any less high.

I was a LONG time OG member until RC got taken down and I have a plenty of experience in growing the sweet green herb. I don't care what you say I call it bullshit. Prove me wrong, get a link from a site that has some credibility. Until then it is bullshit.

Ive done a water cure on some of my buds and it works great. The weed is completely smooth, no harshness at all. Also you wont get mold if you dry it proper right out of the water. This is how its done:

Take some buds and put them in water for 7 days (or 48 hours in warm water for a slightly less harsh smoke) and change the water every day. They must be completely submerged almost the whole time except for when you change the water. Then just take it out and fan dry it or use a dehydrator.

Also, do not agitate the weed otherwise the tricromes will fall off and you will be left with less potent weed. Not much less but still less. It is also better to do this with freshly harvested, undried weed because dry weed has a higher chance for more tricromes to fall off. But dry weed will still work fine though.

The reason this works is that THC, and the other cannabinoids, aren't water soluble. But a lot of the other shit in the plant that makes it harsh to smoke, such as fertilizer, chlorophyll, and whatever else, is water soluble. So through osmosis, the bad shit is taken out and the THC and other things are left behind, leaving a much better weed. The weed does lose almost all smell and flavor though, which can be a downside for some people.

Helge, if you think this is such bullshit, then just take a couple grams of your homegrown, and try it. What have you got to lose? I assure you that it works very well.

I still don't know about this... This is the first I have heard about it and I have been around overgrow and that scene for about 5 years now... If this is a good method for curing I think I would have heard about it. I could be wrong, but it sure as hell isn't something I would want to do. Hang the buds, let them dry to the proper amount, stick them in canning jars, and let them cure the way 99.999% of people who know what they are doing prefer. Enough Said.

There was a big stickied thread right at the top of the curing forum at overgrow. Couldnt miss it. Nothing quite beats air cured buds but depending on the situation, water curing can be far better. Getting a months worth of curing in 7 days time is really awesome for some people.

True, after looking it up I am wrong, but who the fuck would do this to good quality bud. Sounds like a way to cure schwag to me.

"Water curing dried cannabis is often practiced on commercial, brown weed to reduce i's harshness and/or re-moisten the herb a bit. If you employ the cool water cure, change the water every couple of days or it will start to smell as some of the plant matter that is being drawn out will begin to rot. "

as stated earlier, if done correctly you don't lose any quality, and it's MUCH faster than normal curing.

it does seem kind of sketchy though, if you haven't done it yourself or know people who have.

water curing is no where near as good as drying and curing your buds by hand. Talk to any professional grower, any advanced indoor grower, and any pot snob and none of them will water cure or smoke water cured buds.

Like mentioned before water curing are for the imatient, profit minded, or security freaks.

"This is bullshit" kind of reaction is just because of the lack of knowledge.
I am a grower for 15-odd years, and I find aggressively ignorant statements like "it's for the imatient, profit minded, or security freaks" silly, offensive and lame.
Tried water curing a couple of years ago for the first time.
Since then, roughly half of my harvest is water cured.
The method has a lot of advantages, it's an ooold tech, I remember smoking water cured "black" weed almost a quarter of a century ago.
The tech is very simple and its based on solid grounds of organic chemistry.
I repeat, the method works 100%, the weed is MUCH stronger - well, in fact, it's not stronger, but after you soaked it in water and dried afterwards, you get like 1/5th or even less of dry weight since all the water soluble terpenoids, starch, chlorophyll, fertilizers, etc. are infused into water. Thus, instead of smoking 1 gram of weed to get your high you only smoke .2-.1g and get the same kick out of it.

The drawback is that you do loose all the aroma and taste of your bud.
It also looks quite shitty, very dark and miserable which makes the "profit-mindedness" accusations extremely stupid - try selling water cured weed to smone - no smell, no taste, no looks and 60-80 percent less in weight.

Anyway, to find it out once and for all, just do it yourself and post your opinion. Otherwise it's just a kid's babble.

Peace.

Why would somebody need to prove you wrong? Why is your bullshit call relevant in somebody else's thread? Answer: it isn't.

There is indeed a water-cure method and it was indeed posted on OG. I wouldn't recommend it because I'd rather cure for a couple weeks in jars.
