So i have a buddy who is putting his flowers in a jar of water for a week before drying, is there any science out there on this or is this a waste of flower.

so, water curing is an old school way to get the nasty flavor out of bud, and it can work depending on what that flavor is from. I have not done it, but know many people who also, have been growing like 30+ years say that they do it when needed.i thinking you talking about put the branch on the water like a flower with the bud above but put in water like this is no good
for me is nonsense

Yep ive also tryed this before. Also for a week long refreshing the water on a daily bases. It doenst take away any of the effect but taste will get washed out mostly. I was kinda dissapointed with the end result as taste were very blund.
better bland, weak self grown flower, than some store bought poo nasties. I've never done it QuinxStar, but I fully understand if its required from environmental fuck ups or gardener errors.for me it's heresy
you loose thc when you doing that
it's like too much rain the smoke is tasteless
Water has it's uses. Sometimes an H2O2 bath can salvage a crop that's been ravaged by PM due to wrongly timed weather just before peak harvest. What doesn't go in the bag goes in the oil....say that they do it when needed...
The bud wash technique that HeavyIcerx on Instagram introduced to the public consciousness is a more advanced form of cleaning, that also helps with removing ash, and other pests. 1st bucket is baking soda(check to make sure It is not powder, I am unreliable in memory as its been like 5 years since I saw him do it) second buxcket is FRESH LEMON JUICE(NO PRESERVATIVES), 3rd bucket is fresh water. you can wash whole branches and whole plants at harvest by dipping and pulling the plant up and down in the water.Water has it's uses.

But THC is only slightly water-soluble.We often forget that water is a solvent.

...I am saying that it isn't necessarily a catastrophe if your crop is already "compromised" by bad flavor, early harvest, and maybe a few other scenarios.
The desert has the ability to deposit very fine particulate over surfaces. Many years ago, I watched the uninitiated interpret this dust as PM. In fear, they took the advice of a friend. They proceeded to wash their crop down, douse with a baking soda mixture and rinse. The result was lifeless weed- lost bag appeal. Trichome deformation, loss of fragrance. Close to 10 pounds of primo pre-98 Bubba compromised. Thousands of dollars literally washed down the drain. When I asked them is they glassed it, scoped it before they did all that, they replied no. As @Growstone said, "the ones who find stuff out." Only takes one time for most.
