lol hope your not one of those dont smoke your bud till it has a full dry cure nazi guys, man i hate them guys. usually they are the ones that have been growing for years and have an abundance of nice dried cured smoke available and dont know what its like to be "out"

anyways. get yerself a couple economy sized bottles of nyquil and sleep for the next 4 days hehe

Nyquil plan is tempting... Fuck that, I'm going to have at least 1/4 of my harvest smoked way before it has a proper cure Sometimes I like it a bit green anyways.

lol keep telling yourself that it may come true.

to be honest i smoked almost my entire summer crop before 4 weeks after harvest wich is about the time they say a propper dry/cure takes and really it didnt taste great but it wasnt horrible either, after it dried of course. it definatly got a little better with age tho

On xmas I cut a couple popcorn buds and water cured them. They are drying now. Between that, the crap outdoor I have, and how much BHO oil I am willing to smoke I should be able to go about two weeks - just enough for a dry.

4 week cure isn't too bad I guess but I found that my last harvest kept getting better and better till around the 5 month mark. Unfortunately by 5 months I'm generally down to my last jar According to my fiancee after our move I'm going to be able to grow year round versus just seasonally - if so I'll finally be storing enough away to always smoke fully cured buds. We shall see though...

But then I really kind of like the fresh green taste from time to time.

do you ever plant on setting up a perpetual?

do you ever plant on setting up a perpetual?

I really was planning on making my current grow a perpetual but I had so much success with the big container that I think I might scrap that. I can't imagine the large container being as useful without the plants vegging in it, but considering the size the plants obtained with just a 3 week veg I think running cycles might actually be more productive than a perpetual. I do however plan on cutting a week out of the veg by raising the seedling for a week or two in my veg cab before being placed into the larger container.

Right now I have two tiny plants in the big container about 3 weeks into flower... I don't really know what to do with them lol. Looks like I finally bred the hermi trait out of my vet seed though! Super stoked on that.

Maybe after the move I'll set up my 4x8 along with the 4x4 Could get a two 65g pots running perpetual in that case with the help of my 1kW ballast that I'm not currently using. But then what would I do with all the overages? hehe.

congrats man i contemplated for a minute trying to breed some feminized bagseed with the collidal silver method but decided it was a waste of time. lol

A bit of a waste of time unless it is something worth keeping. My old room mate gave me some bud from an old Vietnam veteran she was counseling at the VA and it was absolutely amazing. Super subtle but yummy floral taste unlike anything I have ever to this date and the high was so ridiculously relaxing while still being energetic. Unfortunately the bud was all seeded up and the seeds all produced full blown genetic hermis. I germed the very last seed from the bag a couple grows ago but I had saved some pollen from one of the hermis and crossed it with several of my females. The white russian was the only one to take so now I have vet x white russian which seems to not be hermi. Hopefully it will inherit most of the vet seed traits - I really miss them.

yeah breeding sounds cool. i would love to try and breed just to keep a good set of fem seeds around, from what i have read its not too complicated to make fem seeds and ordering them overseas is just a pain in the ass.

i actually contemplated getting a batch of reg autoflowers and trying to breed a shit ton of fem seeds so i could just pop a auto in the dirt and let it grow. 2 months later got some buds

4 days till cut... This is killing me. Be prepared for a ton of bitching in the next four days. I'm damn near out of the crappy bud I have and I'm getting sick of smoking BHO nonstop. I need my bud! My own organically grown amazingly frosty tent bud! Now! lol. I'm already sad thinking about all of the uncured barely dry bud I'm going to smoke while waiting for the rest to cure.

hey, that's right around the corner. at least it's not 4 weeks.

lmao perfect solution! come out of a nyquil coma and cut down some trees.

Smoked the first of the dry water cured popcorn Made my eyes involuntarily close which is always a good sign. Smiley high too - kinda grinning for no reason while typing this and I generally have a pretty straight face. Kind of surprised more people don't water cure - different flavor and slightly less yield but damn is it more potent and it smokes so fucking clean. Next outdoor I really need to water cure a shit ton as I really hate doing it to my indoor but really like the end product.

Definitely agree with you on the water cure.

Just re-read my post and I think that I probably smoked myself retarded tonight, please see above for simplified version.
Sorry about that, but I couldn't even make sense of my own post and I didn't want everyone else to have to read it and try and make sense of it either.

lol. read it before the edit, sorry I totally agree on the looking like shit andmost everything else - seemed to make sense to me but then again I'm pretty stoned myself.

I like showing my friends the water cured bud at which they say, "fuck that shit let me smoke your BHO". I convince them to take a big bong rip of my "pinner ass nasty looking bud" and the smoke is so smooth that they take a massive hit and get stoned as fuck while coughing their ass off. "What the fuck did you lace that crap with dude? Seriously that's not cool!"

I like to call it spaceman weed - reminds me of dehydrated "space" ice cream. Less substance, less flavor, chalky texture, but all the calories

never tried water cured bud as far as i no. would like ta try it.

i will be trying a water cure when i harvest, i dont care about yeild as its a head stash and ill have plenty of air cured if anyone wants to buy a little off me but i generally try and get people bud elswhere before i sell my stash.

 

[Gastanker]

It definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea but why not try it

I wonder if you can water cure post regular cure and what the differences might be. If you could manage the cleanness and potency of water cured with a bit more taste I might start doing it to quite a bit of my bud.

Wow though, hitting my pipe since I don't have much of of the water cured and it's making me cough more than bong rips of my other stuff. Not harsh inhalation cough but that too potent for my lungs cough. God damn I want all of my bud ready and dried now! Now that I've had a taste how will I possibly go the next three days without it?!

I am planning on trying the water cure on a LOT of my buds. I won't use any cola but the nice buds under them. I hear people can barely smell it when you smoke it, its gonna be my "out n about" stash. (my girlfriend hates when I smell like pot in the grocery store hehe) I will try on the AK first anyway, maybe about 50G wet .... So Gas you didnt feel like it was a waste of buds at all hey? I dont care about bag appeal, I am not selling it. I still want a lot of tasty buds though hehe.

why don't you just start flowering other plants in 3gallons pots sitting on the 1000gallons pot until the other 2 finishes?
