plant thats been flushed with ph down, still good for bubble hash?

so i think i mustve had a knock to the head and decided to flush one of my plants with phed water...

ive read lots of differing opinions on whether or not to flush with phed water or not so decided to test it for myself, and wish i hadnt to be honest lol

weed tastes really acidic

but i was thinking would i be able to bubble hash it and the thc shouldnt be to badly effected?

anyone tried it before, or any other way i can salvage it

Did you dry and cure correctly?

Give her at least 8 weeks (or so) from harvest to toke?

what are you talking about....sorry but flushing your plants with phed water is just water at your nutrual ph with no nutrients it would in no way effect the plants it just flushes the nutes out of your grow medium

its been dried for 2 week... just sampled some before putting it into glass

i guess ill try curing it and see if it does anything then

8 weeks!!!!!!!!!! damn im smoking my herb 2 weeks or less from harvest ((( hang dry till outside crispy 3-4 days than paper bag for about 3-5 days and than the curing jar & SMOKE

I have 3 words for you,,,,,,,Apple Cider Vinegar

well maybe you used way to much ph down idk i buy my water from wally world distilled so its all good when i get it

ive used whats needed to get it to 6.0 i dont know how i could add any less and get it to the right ph without a magic wand

its just 1 out of a full crop so its not a massive waste tbh

ive done x amount in the past and never phed my flush water, but like i say ive read so much 'yo bud ph flush water blud big buds' thought i would test it

Ya.. time permitting I always give my cures at least a month from the time I finish daily sealing and burping..

I eat most my cannabis.. with a cure like this I frequently just pop it in my mouth and eat it.. it almost is like candy.

An earlier cure I would not be able to do that with most stuff because it will be sooo acidic (I assume from the chloro) that it will close off the back of your throat before you can swallow.

that's how I do it anyway.. *S*

tbh i cant imagine curing is gonna get rid of the taste.. its such a strong acid taste, almost feels like my tounges corroding lol

can give it a try at least, other than that bubble hash or the bin

all i can say is people who flush using water thats phed with this acid shit must have no taste buds and some fucked up lungs

If you have any quantity (more than maybe a quarter) you could water cure it.. that will take everything, including the flavor from it, but it will be the smoothest smoke you'll ever have, and quite potent as you have lost a bit of organic matter you normally smoke without water cure but doesn't have any psychoactive effect

Or on other words.. 'in theory' you lose a bit of weight, but it becomes more potent hit for hit. And no acid taste..

Just saying.. if you have a bunch, a water cure will fix it.. and fix it good.

theres a couple of oz's so enough yeh

water cure?

hmmm done some googling

fuck it whats the worst that can happen.. im ready for throwing it in the bin anyway, will give it a shot with about a quart to half oz's worth, thanks for the idea mate

The idea of water cure is this..

THC (and apparently the other host of possible psychoactive ingredients) in cannabis is NOT water soluble..

Organic plant matter in a water cure stays relatively in tact, but it leeches out anything that IS water soluble.. (i.e. every fert, spary, chemical you likely ever put on it) and it removes them.

In short (and do google and research before taking my advice on anything.. ever).. you take your dope.. fresh harvested, or already dried, it makes no real difference.

you submerge the bug gently in ROOM TEMP water and leave it there 24 hours.

Then you gently pour out the old water and replace it with new water again and let it sit 24 hours and repeat.

You do this day in and day out for 7 days..

On the 7th day you take the product out of the water, and it dries very very quickly if you place a fan on it.. hit it with a blow drier.. or hang in a closet and keep a small fan running.. it will dry in hours..

Perfectly (subjective) cured.. it will last for years stored correctly and never lose potency.

It also 'in theory' gives you more psychoactive punch per hit than before because you have eliminated all the non psychoactive nonsense in it you usually put in your body.

Although you lose about 10 percent of weight.

Most say it is the smoothest smoke they ever have had, yet many don't like it for that very reason, they want to taste their work.. it reduces taste to almost nothing.. just cool pure smoke.

--

So the disadvantages are you lose weight, you lose flavor.

The advantages are it get's you silly stoned and a big plus for many people who have family or live in apts, there is NO odor when cured this way,


Again, research 'cannabis water cure' or something in google... take nothing I say seriously.. I'm just one fly on on a very big wall.

Peace~!

Cool, let me know how it works out.. I've done it with outstanding results.. I myself wouldn't hesitate to toss every bit I didn't need for 7 days in there and do her up (that's just me.. I can't stress enough to never do what I do.. *G*) ...

That said I don't normally do this.. I like an air cure.. but it works for what it is.. no shame in a water cure..

im starting to think im just gonna bubble hash it all like i first posted

is there anyone who can confirm i shouldnt get the ph down taste if i seperate using ice extraction?

i know it works well for bud thats still full of nutes so figuired it could work
