Hello master weeda 🙏🙏
Water curing will minimize the time it will take to get rid of undesired substances such as salts, chlorophyll or insecticides. Those substances can make for a harsh, unpleasant smoke of even the best weed.
Thanks to the process of osmosis (which is basically the process by which soluble substances distribute themselves evenly throughout the whole solution, and exchange via a semi-permeable membrane - in this case the leaf surface), the substances you do NOT want to smoke are dissolved. This includes not just substances external to the plant itself, but also from within the leaves – the things that will make you cough when you smoke. The THC etc does NOT dissolve in the water. The result: a much stronger, purer weed

just to try to provide you with complete information... Water Curing – Cons
It is not a good option if the aroma and flavor of weed are important to you.
Water curing also reduces the aesthetic appeal of the herb.
It is probably not your best choice if you intend to sell the weed commercially: It lacks the smell and taste of premium-grade weed, has less ‘bag appeal,’ and crucially, weighs less.
Unscrupulous individuals sometimes use water curing to sell contaminated marijuana.

Is it harvest time?Autoflower seed packs indicated 8-9 weeks but the smell from the tent is mild maybe medium and the buds are only a little bit sticky. These pictures of each plant are at day 84. Am I too late or do they need more time? Many milky trichomes and amber pistols.Week 12

How should I harvest?So we are 2 weeks out from harvest, but I’m wondering would it be more efficient to defoliate fan leaves and hang the plant upside down, or to cut it into multiple sections? At week 22 I believe in our diary we have more pictures.Other. Harvest - Drying

Hey All,
What is the general attitude towards the moisture packs for curing? Do many people out there actually use them?
Boveda and Integra Boost.
Most important question. Are they worth it?
I tried 63% Boost this cure. Not sure what I think so far.Other. Harvest - Curing
