Harvest & Curing The Water Cure

[Muddy]

Either way seems to work fine.

Question, do the buds go straight into the water after chop & trim, or is it better to dry them for awhile?

Thanks Muddy.

HI all just found this thread.... Not sure if anybody else posted this here.. But i used the water Cure process recently to get rid of Powdery Mildew...
Saved over 2oz of bud....

I do the same thing, works well. I don't bother to dry and smoke it, just use it to make oil.

Nice N.W did you put the fresh buds straight into the water for 7 days? Then dry as usual?

Muddy so straight after the 7 days, you don't dry it? So you put it straight into the slow cooker or what not and make your oil?

No, I don't dry it, I go straight into the crock pot. The water vapor just dissipates as it cooks.

The only downside i had was it did make the bud i little harsh... So that bud is my reserve bud lol... I know i will end up using it in my next BubbleHash run.....
I know one thing once it is clean it drys super fast... crispy dry in 2 days....

There was a hell of a lot of crap in mine, was closer too 10 days to get it clean... No mine wasnt fresh bud... I had to go away for a while, so the jars never got burped....

Thanks Muddy, how long do you usually cook it for? And do you grind the bud first?
If you were to put 14 grams in the crock pot would you put the same amount of oil in there? Or do you double it?

I break it up some but don't grind it. I cook it on low for about 12 hours. I usually start it in the evening and it's finished by morning. I've never done a batch that small. I don't weight it but usually have enough to fill my 3.5 quart crock pot about 1/3 full. Then I just cover it with oil. Last batch I got almost a quart. Matter of fact, had some for lunch today. 1 tablespoon to cook some left over rice, asparagus and eggs. Just starting to buzz now.
