Would a PC fan or two work well? Or should we be using 8inch+ oscillating fans?
Hey guys,
You're giving nice details about water curing and how to do it right and I appreciate it. However, there were a few people who claim their stash was ruined, turned into slime etc... So my question is, how can you go wrong with this method? I dont want to kill my cure intentionally, just like to know what to look for and avoid. Thanks

NiteTiger The two things I see happening the most is leaving the lid closed, and allowing light to get to it.
Light is the worst, that's what causes the slime - algae.
YES....No Light. Dark place is perfect.
I put lids on mine but with many holes pokes in the lids. Helps to slowly drain the water out. Refill with Luke-Warm water. Fill it like a beer with no sudds!
Good to go Bro'. Drain and refill every 24 hours for a week.
Hang and Dry.

i have few bud which i am trying to WC, but i dont have a 100% dark place
(like in flower room with lights off). Is this a big problem? i have read that
someone sad just put it out of direct sunlight, and some people say 100%
dark so I am confused. thx

Hello i found this thread really interesting, unfortunately i wouldnt use cause i prefer to have all the taste and odor in the bud...
So i tried for myself with a tiny bud to see how the shit was pulled from the bud...my purpose would be to take off the chlorophil, and salts, and leave the taste and smell...preferably just taking off the chlorophil would be nice cause it tastes bad.
So the first day the water was cloudy, but no clorophil on it.
Now im in my second day and still no clorophil in it...
when i finaly see the clorophil leaving the bud, my idea is to throw that water away, and add the bud to the water with taste and smell...
leaving the bud imerse on that water and letting it dry using a heater(50º max), myabe after everything dried off the smell and taste comes back to the bud...maybe with some salts, but at least without clorophil.
OR maybe im wrong and everything comes out at equal rates and times...and the water has always the same amount of everything :S
Anyone knows if this works?or if it can work?
Im only at my second day and havent seen any clorophil comming out yet...(looking for a greenish color)

Light will degrade cannabinoids, and can react with chlorophyll when it is in the drying process, leading to a hay smell, not sure if that can happen in water cure or not (the hay smell), but why risk it?
Put the jar in a grocery bag, or another light proof container/cover.

Cupboard, drawer or wherever a 1liter jar can be put in the dark for 3-7days. PS! I'm drying an 1/8 that had 3-4days in a jar right now. I prefer keeping it a bit warm and airy at first. (above some monitor in a papercup or similar)
Warm/lukewarm water is probably the best to use as it help the trichs stick to the plant mater and reduce loss. Also speed the flushing effect a bit. I think water up to 50-60centigrade is just fine, but I stick with bodytempered and a little warmer. (I also use closed lids, but only fill 1/3 of the glass w/ water and rinse out daily. This make the water jars reek of decaying organic matter and stagnant water when they're opened, but frequent changeouts and max dilution are the keys to prevent slimy rot and shite.)

Well, I just got 4g of good looking dense buds. I grind up a bowl, pack it, light it, and it looks like I'm smoking fireworks. The ash is a dense black grimey residue, and I have no intention of smoking any more of it. I just began doing my first water cure, I've got no doubts it'll clean the bud up and make it smokeable.
It's been in water for a few hours now and already the water is turning a dark green. I'll definitely be weighing after to see how much was taken out.

The operative word above is TINY. Tiny buds release tiny amounts. Single tiny buds even less. If you want to see quantity, you need to supply quantity.
Here's a bucket of buds soaking (left) and the same water after being poured into another tub (right.)
Note the foam head (left) several inches thick? That's proteins, sugars, lord knows what else. Here's a cupful of the same water (right). That's a Day 2 measurement. Day one was EC 1.2. All told I pulled EC 4.6 out of the buds. For PPM fans thats 2,300.00 - 3,500.00 PPM.
Guest said:Thats what i'm thinkig Melvin. It sounds like a lil Osmosis going on. Where One side is trying to even it self out with the other. I was gonna try it but if its just the smoothness that is improved then a long cure in jars will do fine.
Blatant
Awesome. My posts from 2004 are on here but as "guest".
So, what I remember from trying this was that the result tasted and smelled bad. How does WC bud taste and smell after a few months dry cure?
Also I read about the smell of the smoke being different than that of normal MJ, possibly giving some stealth when out and about. Anybody have experiences with that?

So the water makes a difference, eh? Might give it another shot when I have the chance. Does dry-curing your water-cured buds have the same effect as doing a normal dry-cure?
Off topic, I find a couple things interesting strawberryDK (and this is just my own curious brain doing its thing but I don't mean anything by it). I'm assuming you responded to my last post, but I can't figure out how you knew which post was mine from the first page of this thread. And then to break your two year silence to make a first post giving me a tip, I'm just like, huh?
My tap has an EC of 0.5. Once EC of of res water nears that, I switch to distilled. Usually the last two days.
You need to dry WC buds ASAP. If it takes more than two days for your fattest buds, you need to speed things up. Moisture leads to mold and you don't want to be smoking mold.
