I'm planning on trying that on with one of my two at 50 some days into flowering. One strain will take a week maybe 2 longer. I have to re-read it to make sure I have it down.
BTW RiddleMe ah, Thanks, now I have a new DIY to add to the collection. Check out my build journal if you get time. My FrigiDare is getting into testing now.

Which link is it?

and by the way there are a few of you that will get the instructions on how to build it via PM once that chapter of the book is done

This was one of those experiments I was looking forward to, the time I spent researching harvesting and curing was a lot longer than when I research most things as you could tell by the 4 part ditty I wrote on it and I knew it was going to be an adventure in learning for me. It has been really cool that others have taken the plunge with drowning their plants and all reports on that have been good as you all know, I am anxious to do it :)

And building the fermentation chamber was a blast for me, going shopping for the supplies and slowly bringing it all together was fun, I like to design and create, it's in my blood :) I took my time thinking I have several weeks to go and then knowing that my friend RMH was about to harvest I asked for a small donation to test things out as I have already told you. I do want to let you know that the pile of buds is actually pretty big, there are 5 main colas in there and to give you an idea that shelf is 25 inches wide X 18 inches deep ( I will throw a bic in the next set of pics to give you a better idea)

I took these pics this morning and instead of posting them I wrote a PM to RMH and asked him to go take a look at the trichs on the uncut goddess plants to see what the % of amber was, he answered back 10% ,,,after being in the chamber for a day and a half when I checked this morning I was seeing trichs at 70% amber, folks this damn thing works and you will see in the pics that they are pulling N from the leaves (as discussed in the ditty N is required for the chemical changes that take place during fermentation) the leaves are drying and changing colors and more of the buds are now exposed, you can see the nice purples that are coming out. So in a nutshell the buds are drying and curing at the same time (I think it will be even better with a drowning) and ripening and this may be the most important thing??? cause these were chopped 2 weeks early yet in less than 2 days they ripened right up as if they were done and ready, seriously you can practically watch the trichs change to amber

I WILL NEVER HANG DRY A PLANT EVER AGAIN :hump:

this was one research effort that has paid off big time!

Enjoy the pics

:clap: now u need to make another one and ship it to bermuda! lol! i want one of those i cant wait for u to see the results im seeing from this drowning...btw do u think the speed in wich the drrowning process takes to occur is influenced by plant size as well?

not as much size as vigor, but they are often times related

Right on RM3. Very very cool brother. Your research is paying off, as usual. Always reaching, then achieving that 'next level'.

And rasta, you gotta get in line bruh, the next chamber built is going to my house !

This is fun to watch Riddle... vicarious thrills, better than no thrills at all!

Question about cabinet size... is it important (no, she said, of course size is not important lol) Do you think you need much more cabinet volume than product? I just got a "double tap" from Master Kush so my thinking may be a bit askew %-)

I made it mine big enough to handle my upcomming harvest all at once, other than that I don't know with out doing some comparrison testing?

new update on drowning n pics on my link in my sig.. :)
Looking delish my friend, can't wait for a smoke report

I'm wondering if my plant is maturing faster with partial CMH in it's life. At 54 days it looks like it's mom did at 60. I just updated it's journal with pics. I dropped a Dr. Doom fogger last night, but now it's further along so I'm unsure. it's Well Here Goes Again

I would wait a week, because of the Dr Doom, but your right does look like it matured a bit faster

I updated it with comparision pics from last run in this chamber. Gumball has a good point too. I planned on 60 some days to get past the cloudy/amber % but seeing how it's working for rastadred22 I'm wondering. I was thinking 7 to 10 days to ferment. A week takes me to 61, then it's 68 to 71.
Amazing how much better this plant looks. New camera, but that can't help that much.
