Harvest & Curing The Water Cure

[Northern Grower]

7 days is ideal. Any more than 7, there's no difference in the end result. Why wait longer than you have too?
Any less than 7 and you don't get the desired effect.

I had never heard of water curing until I saw this thread. I had a cool whip container full of spider mite damaged weed left over from last summer, so I decided to give it a try. I did the 7 day routine, which was completed today. Rather than drying it out and smoking it, I decided to use it to make oil. The main objection to oil always seems to be the taste. I thought if water curing removes the taste and smell it might make a good oil. So after I had dumped the water and gave it a final rinse it went straight into the crock pot. I'll let it slow cook overnight and see what I get come tomorrow morning. I'm hoping the end result will be virtually odorless and tasteless cannaoil.

Dang, that's a lotta love from you guys. :thumbs: ...offering to put you meds at risk like that. Lot's of pioneers around here.

I'm curious about the freezer method. Could someone that has already done it give us a review on appearance, taste, etc?

Bailer, I'm really surprised. To me, the watered cured one looked noticeably better.

Thank you very much. Turned if off soon as I woke up this a.m. and while there is still some odor, it's not near as strong as oil normally smells. Stuck my finger in and took a taste. Again, some weed flavor but not strong at all. Won't get a chance to try it till the weekend. Can't wait.

i used this method on a plant that was severely damaged and the smoke was the best of the crop.... I will be cropping one plant to water cure with each harvest for smokeable product as i wait for the rest to cure. Guys this REALLY does work and you don't loose that much weight compared to the convenience of not curing the whole crop.

Ditto, I'll plan to water cure Lil Bee's Cola that keeps having some white web-like mold creep in. I've sprayed that bud several times with water/H2o2 mix that kills it back, but still want to be on the safe side.
She's so pungent anyway doubt it'll be much different than regular cure.

Got a chance to give the water cured oil a try yesterday. I cooked up some leftover rice with a couple eggs for lunch. I used 1 tablespoon of oil, the same as I always do, so I have a valid comparison between batches. I usually make my oil from shake and trimmings so expected this to be more potent as it was all buds. But I wasn't prepared for how potent it is. By about a hour and a half after I ate I was sooo stoned, to the point it was somewhat uncomfortable. I credit this to the buds, not the water curing. I've still got a strong buzz going today.

From the taste and smell stand point, there was virtually no smell to the oil and only a very slight taste. I believe in baked goods there will be no taste at all. This has turned out to be a very effective way to process oil and will be the method I use from here on out.
