Should I do this with my auto. It's on day 55 and has about two weeks left... Also, would it affect the humitidy drastically since I have regular photoperiod plants only in there 4th week of flowering? Any advice?
Drowning Plant Prior To Harvest
- Thread starter Brimi
- Start date
didnt read the whole thread but i have read a thread somewhere before about someone doing this , it basicly was to cut the cure process out completly you submerge the plant for whatever timeframe and then let it dry out completly , then just smoke it without curing and it comes out tasting almost just like cured bud but not quite as well , something to this extent. cant quote me though cuz this was a long time ago that i read that other topic wish i had bookmarked it sry.
Why not? Drown that bitch... as far as humidity, yes it will affect humidity substantially.

Sure you can put them in drowning. You can make an easy lid to keep humidity down. If in soil you'll probably lower the allover humidity in the room instead since that soil was adding to humidity before putting the plastic cover over it. Since we're drowning the plant anyway this will not cause any harm to the plant by now.

Hey quick question to those that have been preharvest fermenting, has anyone in the last couple of months found a way to make the water smell not so nasty :/
Im guessing that its smelling bad from bacteria so could you put H2O2 in the water just like hydro growers do?

Water smelling is ok. Just throw it out after usage. I do this every now and then. Normally i just harvest, but for the special christmas stash i drown the plant. There's a small article about it here: Drowning a marijuana plant
Don't think you should add H2O2 to the water as it will add oxygene working against what we are trying to do - anaerobe processes (meaning no oxygene)

Mhmmm ran across that website and riddlemes flushing thread as well as this one. Have you noticed any negatives from drowning vs just regular harvesting?

I would think that using hydrogen peroxide the first time to knock out anything in the dirt would be good, but no more then the first day of drowning. I plan on doing this to one of my plants when they're ready.

Just chiming in, I started my drowning on Friday September 9th and my ladies will be drowned for 7 days under 12/12 400W HPS lamp, and from Friday September 16th to Wednesday September 21st the ladies will be drowned with no light cycles, and harvest is on the Wednesday.

Checked out your grow very nice plants! Can you post some pics of them closer to the end of drowning/before you chop? I'm interested to see what the leaves/buds look like before drowning and after (in addition to the pictures posted here already).

The drowned plants look as if it suddenly turned fall. I give them 10 full days though. Not sure when it's supposed to be done scientifically, but ten days definitely works.
I wouldn't us hydrogene peroxide. Done this hundreds of times without. Why waste hydrogene peroxide on this? - anaerobe processes are supposed to start - this will make smell. If there's no smell there's no anaerobe process and job wouldn't work like it should.

Thanks for tip, why don't you drown every harvest if it's smoother and tastier?
I don't notice much difference when i vape which i do 90% of the time.

Sweet thanks for the info brimi! Btw what kind of vape do you have? I used to have a hotbox and sold it to a friend in need. Looking to get another here in the next couple of months but dont know if i should get another hot box (i like it) or something else. Not looking to spend volcano money quite yet though.

Hi Blazed - no problem. Yes - i have the Volcano. It's really excellent. I have only tried a VapirOne that really sucked. It's still in my drawer. Used it 5 times and put it to a loong sleep.
Haven't tried so much else but as you know - it's just a heat gun with a termostate. But the Volcano is really nice - really really nice. When this one breaks i will order a new one imediately - but probably won't break though. Nice 3 years warantee on them. But agreed - expensive stuff, but how much is a lung on the black market? ;O)

Depends but i think i read it was as low as $30,000. Much more than a volcano!
We shall see, i do some reading on reviews and such and probably get one by christmas.

Hopefully you are talking about the Volcano for X-mas and not a lung ;O)

Anyway back on thread topic, if anyone else drowns please post pics/smoke report. I'll do the same hopefully when I harvest in a couple months!

I wasn't sure if I missed it hopping around riddleme's threads but what is the preferred PH of the water used to drown?
Riddleme, if you or another experienced mentor can answer this, you advise to leave lights on for continuous growth as opposed to the theory of post-harvest darkness increasing THC?
Last question, for now, day one of the drown begins an hour after lights on the day that they are ripe to harvest?
