i've never understood the water cure method.. i know what it is but i dislike the idea.
Quite simple, water curing does the same as air curing, just much much more of a "curing effect"

Curing is the removal of all the salts and crap that are contained in the leaf, when you air cure, you don't remove as much of that crap, but enough so its nice and has flavor

When you water cure, you can water cure for 3 days for example, air dry it, and have some cured bud with some flavor after air drying, but speeding up the curing method drastically, or go the full 7 days and remove ALL the crap in the plant leaving the cell structures, and thc.

Thats what I have come to understand of it all, and the water cure works fine, and I always just want the cleanest, purest, and smoothest smoke possible.

If you want smell, air cure 100%
I should try removing a bud every day to see what its like after each day. Perhaps a 1 day of curing then air dry it is enough to skip the month long wait and keep the flavor?

well you said you liked water cure.. if i were you i would do your 8 day water cure with half so you have bud sooner and then air dry and cure the rest in jars for 4-6 weeks so you can have tasty smelly buds too.

Can't, due to smell, my grow is ultra stealth, + I want my smoke to be ultra stealth too. Doesn't smell like weed in public its awesome.
if i need some super smelly stuff I'll score some off a friend who's growing as well

seriously? when i smoke in public the more people that can smell the bud the better, i want people 20 feet away to be looking around and sniffing the air lmao

I like keeping it stealthy, + avoids stupid situations imo :P I'm not part of the "we smoke pot all the time" crowd :P

i don't smoke all the time but i never smoke in my car.. so if i'm going grocery shopping i'll smoke a joint outside before i go in. it makes an ordinary trip to the grocery store into a fucking adventure. i'll bring home all of these exotic fruits and shit to try... mhmm

what kind of stupid situations can smoking cause?

sry by "all the time" I ment they are not used to having someone show up smelling like kush for example,not there style

I don't ever drive while stoned, to risky for myself, others can do it, I can't lol
now going on the bus, now that shit is entertaining, you sit there and watch people till your stop and its quite fun, then you go hit up a movie with some friends or go shopping hahaha

Smurfs 3D was so funny hahaha

I looked at my buds today, and saw all the triches forming and I just drool...then picked my second sample.
Question, the smaller leaves around the buds are covered in triches, and there are some triches on the fan leaves around the buds, are these the suger buds?
stop picking off "samples" just wait till theyre ready or youll just get a reduced yeild.

I stopped no worries, it was 1 from each, on the non sunny side (so not as big)
I picked up some to prevent me from sampling hahaha
