Water Cure - Taste and smell retainment

[Purple_Ganja]

Its my understanding that you lose taste and smell with water-curing. My question is, lets say you wanna grow some blueberry but don't wanna spend another month curing it so you water cure it. What if on the last day or two of the water cure you added a dose of concentrated blueberry extract to the water? If noone else has done it, could be worth a try right? Maybe try it in small doses (like 15 grams at a time) and try different things and see what works?

most extracts you add probably wont dry or smoke like you think. better to give time then call it mold berry

Hey Purple, I water cured some herb, and it tasted great, just smoother than air dried. I dont think you are going to "loose" anything. Perhaps try it on just a sample 1st time?

I know ya did video Your post was where I got the water cure idea, thanks for that, I'm definately trying it. I also think it sounds like a terrific medium for experimentation. We could possibly have new generations of weed through the use of additives and water curing. I think I'll try a few things and see what happens, and don't worry, this'll be the first place I report my findings...

hey purple, have some fun with it. I will tell ya, the water cured was noticibly stronger than air dried.
Peace

I don't doubt that! MAN I can't WAIT to try some water cured...

You've touched upon something when you said " I also think it sounds like a terrific medium for experimentation. We could possibly have new generations of weed through the use of additives and water curing."
Have you ever heard of a tincture?
A mickey of vodka or rum151 and a quarter oz of grass... you should be flyin when sheès ready, actually 151 should be a minimum proof to use. Go for higher a proof. Maybe everclear?

 

[Purple_Ganja]

OOOOH HO HOOOO! I tell you what, you're probably a lot further along than I am, why don't you try that? Couldn't you get the same effect though if you just smoked out of a hookah with everclear or goldengrain in the vase?

 

[videoman40]

They actually sell tinctures online, of course a home made one is always best!
I could forsee some pretty cool mixtures:
(this is off the top of my head, and only because I like these liquors)
2 parts everclear
1 part jarermeister
2 parts patron
an oz of some nice ass weed, maybe some of your blueberry for more flavor.....hmmmm got any shrooms too?
Peace

God dang, weed enhancement with tinctures and other additives... I think the possibilities are seemingly endless. I really wish we could come together better as a community of growers to experiment in this a little and report eachother's findings.

The actual term is liquid curing, the jamaicans have been doing it for years, with rum and other spirits. We've only just cottoned on and started curing through water, your right, there is a load of possibilities out there. try em, you'll definitely like them........what do you call a three foot tall jamaican?.............................A yardie

 

[Purple_Ganja]

I wish there were more info out there on this sort of thing, I've looked for hours and keep coming up with the same stuff...

You Have Lost IT!

 

[growrookie1]

I have bud that I took off my plant like 2 weeks early, unflushed. Some flushed, some water cured (the right way too) water cure lost all test except it got me higher than all the others. I will never water cure any weed again.

 

[trevorb9]

fuck water curing i tried it if you grow it with organics and dry it for a week or two it should be bomb unless u suck at growing or bad strain

 

[fooster]

now that u mentioned. i wonder what happens if you water cure with some purple maxx

 

[PussymOneyWeed]

I wonder what would happen if you went to the local graveyard and dug up a dead thread. I bet people wouldn't be too pleased =P

 

[sammysosa]

Interesting idea though ...vanilla extract or something, mmm!

 

[Fazz]

most extracts you add probably wont dry or smoke like you think. better to give time then call it mold berry

LOL .
very true .

yaaa . extracts are tricky .
if they contain ANY sugar , its gonna go bad quiick .

MOLD-BERRY ... my fave .

 

[Buzzed Aldrin]

I looked into this because some street dealers spray random BS on their stuff before they sell it. Based on what I have read a sugarless extract would be the way to go, doing mine on end of water cure when buds are ready.
