Here it is about 1am and I'm gettin settled down now. Been smokin a blend of Lifesaver, grapefruit, and K2 and got lost early in the night jackin with my plants and my Dad came over to harass me,hehe.

Water cure, here we go.
First I pulled a big K2 out her 48 hour darkness episode and readied her for the killin. The K2 was grown from clone using a organic hydro regime of pure Blend and some ammendments. It went 66 days and was flowered under 1200w hps in an e&f setup and was flushed completely in the last ten days leading up to her donation to the cause.
Here is the girl walkin proudly to the choppin block


The three buds I decided to use, I cut them roughly the same length as the jar I am using.



Here is the jar, 1 quart, wide mouth,ball mason jar. I poked 5 breather holes in the lid also



Buds in the jar head first



Fill with room temperature (72 degrees) purified water



K2 victim after major surgury



Deathbed, Beheading, trim, and hang


I hung her intact, minus 3 limbs, in my drying closet for the start of a 6-7 day hang.

I'll post tomorrow with the first rinse and water change

nice to tk cant wait to see how she turns out...

from waht i seen on mine you wont see much action in the jar tel about the 2nd day.....

Here it is before I changed the water. Not to much discoloration but the water had a strong fresh cut grass smell. The leaves are browning a little bit and the bud itself looks unchanged.

TK, looking forward to seeing pictures of the finished buds. I have some coming down next week that I am going to water cure.

I've been soaking some frosty trim for 3 days with daily water changes. The leafy smell is gone and it now has a minty-lemon scent. The smoke is smoother but still a bit of harshness. I'll let it go for another couple of days.

Hell yeah! I was lookin for a nice lil guinea pig to try their buds on this method.

Should be interesting

Very cool thread TK. I get the idea, that the water is supposed to leach out the icky stuff, but leave the natural yummy weed taste. I also get it that if the water is warm, the resin glands won't break off as easy as cold water (like makin bubble hash) But I gotta say, even though I get the basic idea, it's still a scary thought takin my hard grown nugs and soakin em in water. Let's face it, we all thin "wet buds...ewww"
I'll stay tuned here. I salute you for sacrificing some nugs in the name of stoner science
