Drying and curing, the FeltonMuggs way
So here's my method as it stands at the moment - I feel my curing process starts with the flush, at least 2 weeks of straight water that's I leave sitting for 24 hours to help eliminate chlorine and other additives and get the minerals and nutrients our of the plant.
Hey Mac420, I too got sick of the quick dries we have here and decided to combat it in the following manner...it has worked beautifully.
i purchased a grow tent that i use exclusively for dry/cure.
inside, i have a circulating fan (sometimes 2) on at all times. then i bought the CAP humidity controller. i plug an exhaust fan in for dehum (could use an actual dehum, if you want obviously), and a cheapy room humidifier. this way i can set humidity @ 50% and just wait....it works wonders, really. i hang my harvested and trimmed plants on branches. when the nug is not mushy and feels dry (which it does even @ 50%) i will cut the buds off the branches and put them into rubbermaids, i prefer long rather than tall so buds at the bottom aren't squished as they re-soften, then i sweat. cure is underrated.
here is the response from the MMJ registry:
A lot of bottled water out there is tap water with pretty packaging.i have been wondering about this myself as of late, so are you saying just buy water..let water sit..filter threw a brita or what? these are the days i wish had a ph/ec/ppp meter.

Most grow shops carry the Small Boy or Tall Boy carbon/sediment dechlorinating filter, for like $100 or so. I got this one on ebay for close to half the price:

These filters remove the chlorine products without removing the needed minerals. Not only do I use for my plants but I also use it to filter my own water.
Budgood the MorocconxLeb is from a caregiver friend that I visit frequently. He got the clone from a friend that has traveled the middle eastern area since the 80's and collects seeds. Apparently this is that guys own cross. That's the story that was given to me with the herb. It was def some FIRE!
