Starts the curing process early.

sort of like drowning the plants so they turn sugar into alcohol or something like that?

More like killing the roots instantly and then eating the stored resources in the sinks to finish off.

One thing's for sure, you won't get rid of any chlorophyll in 2 hours. It takes 12 hours before it even starts to yellow. Sorry RM3, just the facts of the matter.

Pouring boiling water on the roots is a great way to fade your plants fast. They do not wilt like they would if you just cut them down.

Does look a little better. One easy way to improve bud without really curing it is to leach it with water. That gets rid of most of the harmful stuff right there. Not the chlorophyll but a lot of other stuff. It also increases potency by reducing overall weight while retaining all of the THC. Another easy way to improve quality is by giving 12-24 hours darkness before chopping. That gets rid of almost all of the starch and again reduces overall weight while retaining THC. These techniques depend on weather you want max weight or max quality.

Not really any other way to get rid of chlorophyll than either keeping the material at 72-75% RH at room temp for 2 weeks or at 100 F for 2 days. If chlorophyll doesn't bother you then fine.

Does it involve lasers and ball bearings?

Chlorophyll is green, yes?

CannaBruh · Dec 22, 2016

I think chloroplasts are green as a result of chlorophyll but what about plants that are purple/black/red?

a senile fungus · Dec 22, 2016

As long as they're not green. Ugh, I hate that green stuff. It's all over my plants and won't come off...

I cure, but just like the above two posts Quotes i let it take time. Whats a few months to get great tasting buds? Ive got some that are approaching a year curing atm and have had some cure for over two years.

If your drying/curing in 90% humidity in that kind of heat beware of mold.

Dry it anyway you want OP but dont be saying none of us cure our harvest. Thats just a silly thing to say.

Mold likes cold.
