Water Cure Report

What's up RIU?

Here's my grow info:

-4 Bagseeds planted
-1 out of 3 was female
-Grew her to approximately 3 ft. tall
-2 weeks to harvest and she became infected with powdery mildew
-Only option was to chop early and water cure

Tools:

2 tupperware containers
3 gallons of distilled water

Method:

-Filled both tupperware containers with about 3" of water.
-Place buds underwater, placed a plate over them so they would stay submerged
-Changed the water every 24 hours, for 7 days straight

Result:

After 7 days of water curing the infected buds were absolutely clear of all mold. Some taste and smell were diminished but the bud was still covered in trichomes.
I took the liberty of quick drying them with a hair dryer (Which works amazingly with no damage done to the buds) and had an amazing thick smoke.

I know alot of people are afraid to try this method because just the thought of submerging their hard work under water lol but if you've ran in to some mold, forgot to flush, or are looking for a quick cure, then you should really consider this.

Maybe I can get some pics up of my finished product tomorrow.

id like to see before after water cure bud pictures

The bud does lose bag appeal b/c most of the chlorophyl is lost. The buds come out brownish but trust me the smoke is REALLY good.

Pictures of before and after

1 once water cured some weed changing the water everyday etc and after about the 3rd day the water was smelling like it came from a swamp the water was cloudy and generally looked dirty

but it was 1 hell of a smoke very smooth and as ihatebud says it did have a brownish appearance to it

Yeah the water does smell like ass reason being the water is sucking all of the plant food, chlorophyl, mold, etc. from the buds and leaving the trichomes still intact.
