I use RO water that I buy. I changed it with clean water, but it really smelled not too bad. My weed was dried though, not green. I threw it in a plant anyway. If it kills it I know not to do it again! LOL! like always, I have two choices here, it will either kill it or not. I will let you all know.

A salad spinner works just great to spin dry your nugs. I just did a 48 qt. cooler size water cure and when It was done separated nugs from sticks and spun dry those nugs sending the water through a coffee filter.

a salad spinner, jesus - this is brilliant wb if it leaves the trichomes on, but as they should be at room temp and moisten, so should stay where they supposed to be. great idea

through one of those gold mesh coffee filters to see the loss. I never emptied it during the whole process and to me the loss seems negligible meaning hardly any. Of course everything was handled carefully. I still have a smell and a taste and it was a full 7 day cure. Warm water the first two days. I will post pics in my outdoor thread

Isn't a salad spiner kind of like a small washing machine as far as the spinning action goes? Try a camp washer, or an old wringer washer. In theory it is the same thing but on a bigger scale. And without the "swish swish" capability. Washing machine hash anyone?

Fred is the expert on that! Did you see the hockey pucks he posted?

Okay guys, I have a smoke report and an improvement to WB's great idea.

This weed was so harsh and made ya cough so much you couldn't smoke enough to get high. I mean either this worked or it was all going to make hash with. Did the seven day water cure with RO water, and left it in a cool room. Nearer the end the water smelled pukey so I did just dump that. Used WB's salad spinner idea but I have a peice of fine net curtain that I have used for tomatoe sauce or whatever in the kitchen. So I lined and wrapped the drained weed in that inside the basket of the salad spinner. Figured whatever trichs broke loose would be kept that way. Worked like a charm. Once the water was all spun out, I laid the whole kibosh, netting and all on top of the front piece that fell off my big fan in my flower rooms. (I mean this was just damp now, after being spun, no water dripping out so I knew water would not contact electrical stuff.) I just used the warmth of the light, hand warm, and the moveing air to help the process. Laid that contraption on top of my T-5 light fixture, making sure there where no bits hanging down and left it there for a day, dry as a bone. Let is sit another day and we just smoked it, Just great!

It is smooth, more powerful and what a nice buzz! Really pleased. Must have 3 oz of this which was the Nepali Grizzly. This is a hash making plant but is a wierd one. Anyway, nice buzz and easy to smoke, even with this crud of a cough we both still have from a virus. Here's some pics so you can see what I did.

I will definately do this again for a fast cure. I want to try it with fresh next and see what happens, but I also want to know what the fresh tastes like first so I can tell the difference. Does that make sense?

Plus some I grow just for the taste, like Kish and blueberry, which I will now have room to try! OH such FUN!

Peace
