Never heard of curing it like that. I have a Green Crack that's really purple and so was Blueberry.Anyone else getting purple In their plants due to the cold night temps? One of mine that had some coloration is now completely dark purple on the top side of leaves and outside of the buds. An old trick some indoor growers use is to significantly drop grow room temps with an AC unit to bring out the deep purple for bag appeal.
Wet trimmed another and washed it yesterday and it still amazes me every time how dirty the plants can really be despite looking clean. Dust, a few bugs, and even a few spiders were in the bottom of the rinsing bucket afterwards.
Have any of you tried water curing some bud? You lose some colour and roughly 30% weight, but it’s worth the effort. Submerge in room temp water (I use mason jars) and change the water each day for a week then hang as usual with adequate airflow. Much smoother smoke with far less contaminants....
