What strain is that in your avatar?

 

[vampyroswrath]

why would you even want to wash your weed? thc is not water soluble so it shouldnt hurt as long as your not scrubbing it with a rag or somthing but you would then have to let dry for a very long time it seems like. kinda seems pointless imo

It surprises me that people dont know this by now lol, I havent been around the forum much but... just search for greenphoenix tutorial on water curing compared to a bud of the same plant not water cured, bag appeal is lost with a water cure or wash, but potency could be increased...

and there is no reason to think that the thc is decreased in the water because it is NOT WATER SOLUBLE, bottomline: try it before you knock it

simple as this look on ur thing of insectiside "wash vegetables before use"

Not saying you wont lose thc, but lets say ur makin bubble hash a quick dip n swirl wont hurt nething too much

wow so much fuckin hatred. cant we all smoke a joint and be happy?

i cant see why it would hurt the plant or make it weaker, cannabis grows outside so they can undergo rain ect therefore if you dont scrub it it should be fine. (thc isnt water soluble)

lol...jeez simmer down people. I just had a large infestation on one particular strain that didnt affect any of my other strains. i didnt realize how bad it was untill it was late in flowering. i just harvested them and swished the nugs around in some water then set them to dry. Didnt affect the flower at all and it is just drying like normal and most the bugs came off. So no this does not hurt anything at all and is a good method as a last resort.

Wash your buds, I do it every harvest and have no mold problems.

^^ Pretty much, my last grow i water-cured half of the buds, they turned out wayyyy smaller than the air-cured buds, but godddammm they were more potent...(also, virtually no smell of "weed" when smoking the water-cured)
