im most curious about the weight....i would nto smoke it or use it, but i am really curious about the weight lol...keep us posted, glad your willing to sacrifice some of your hard worked buds for this experiment
Did you apply it on fresh material?I’ve trialled cure on a white rhino cross. I would’ve liked to try it on more strains but wasn’t possible this time round. I also didn’t think about weighing the nugs first so sorry I haven’t got any precise stats on the yield increase - seems lots of farmers here are interested in that lol! There's still most of bottle left and I have 11.1 oz of ready nugs that have been treated with cure.
I used a ratio at 7 parts water to 1 part cure which totalled a bit over a quart. I know this is very dilute but having no experience with the product I thought it seemed like a wiser place to start.
Remarks;
I think its going to be popular with commercial growers and probably connoisseurs esp if they buy into the marketing pitch about preserving terps. Probably it will preserve the minty citrus flavor of nugs, I’m willing to give them that.
Honestly I struggled to get my head around the weirdness of submerging nugs in a solution even if its just water and cellulose but in practice it was non problematic, so long as the excess is drained off. Don’t try this if you don’t have a warm dry air and a fan to dry the nugs out properly.
Basically I just used two large salad bowls, one for dunking the nugs under the solution and the other was under a salad strainer to collect what drained off. Eventually the fresh nugs had mopped up everything in the dunking bowl but after draining them in the strainer a lot of the solution had recollected. So not wanting to waste it I just kept repeating the process until the solution I'd made was all used up.
This meant I ended up treating way more material than I had originally intended to.
Now for the crazy part. Tastewise its essentially invisible and thats is why I think it’ll be popular. And it has no color also. But treated nugs smoked as normal without any detectable difference to smoothness or taste.
The cellulose seems to get completely absorbed into the nug too.
The other thing is it definitely makes nugs firmer and less crumbly which personally is the only reason I might ever consider using it if stops the pile of crumbs building up in the bottom of the jar.
I expect this stuff might be particularly well suited for fluffy loose structured MJ, esp outdoor, greenhouse or sativas, but I could be completely off base as I only tested it on indoor.
As for the terps preservation and whether nugs treated with it actually pack more punch after x no. of months vs nugs that haven’t been thats still something I really wanna know..
LolGrowers will buy almost anything if there is a chance for more profit.
I guess its a matter of taste (pun intended). I very much enjoy the fruity flavors of freshly harvested weed. Once that taste starts to diminish I think the effect changes and is less enjoyable too. Less buzz, more fuzzI keep hearing good reports about cure.. and I’m satisfied with the rationale of putting hemp/cannabis cellulose back into the very same thing it came from in the first place makes sense from a logical point of view….but is holding in terpene volatiles really a good thing for curing??….am i the only one questioning this???
Bcos I was under the impression that burping every week for a few months releases these compounds , consequently a newly cured nug has those spicy hints of spearmint or citrus whereas a carefully long cured nug has more subtle skunky cedar undertones…and personally I prefer the latter
Not sure if that is a general question or you are just asking me if you think it’s increased the quality of just my weed in particular, obviously I can only speak for myself.So let me get this right ……….you are saying that cure actually INCREASES the quality of your weed??? :bored:
I second that. Not so long ago I did some background research into cure, how it works etc. It’s an outstanding invention I’ll happily give it that and from what I'm hearing there’s no doubting its efficacy. I think this product is actually ahead of it’s time, which is probably a first for this industry. The problem is the company has developed possibly one of the most important products to ever hit the med scene, but whoever came up with the idea of submerging buds under water clearly isn’t a grower or hasn’t given it much thought. I mean seriously guys that’s really the best u can come up with?? Why on earth not use it as a foliar spray like with a high-pressure atomizer before trikes actually start to turn amber and oxidize? Surely several successive sprays during weeks 3-8 would be infinitely easier than a drench n’ drain method! Sorry I could just never put my buds under waterNever have considered "washing" plants after harvest - do understand the concept - all ways trying to keep it simple
I agree never likes the idea of washing the plant - some folks swear by it - just seems one is washing away the /some "tic's" also. I mean one time I knocked a big bud and seen many,many tic's come off - now one want to wash the plant? No thanksI second that.
