THC level to plant material, that is your potency ratio. So, if either the THC level goes up, or the plant material goes down, potency increases.

Example. If you and your friend had the same tolerance to weed, and had 2 of the exact same bowls, and you fill yours with water cured grass, and they fill theirs with air cured grass, and you both smoke it til it's completely cashed, then you would be higher than your friend.

I hope this will get rid of all the confusion over that.

hey vidoe can you post that vid agian i never got to see it?

I read through some of this thread. It really has some intersting info. I may have to give this method a try.

Good thread.

Although, I'm not sure about a few details.

For example, chlorophyll is quite a big molecule. I've been having trouble getting information on it, but it seems to melt at around 100C+, which would suggest it has a boiling point higher than water (it also seems to decompose on boiling). That makes me think it's not actually evaporating off.

Also, there are numerous suggestions from chemical data sheets that it is not particularly water soluble. Different forms of it it exist in the plant but, if you boil green vegetables, the water does not turn particularly green.

I would like to suggest a different way in which the water cure is producing lower dry weights. Perhaps the water is washing out salts and sugars?

Remember what happens when you leave a container of salt somewhere damp, it tends to clump up as water from air is absorbed into it.

The same thing could be true for buds. After harvesting, they may contain salts and other osmotic pressure regulators.

Going straight to air drying leaves these behind in the bud and so it's more likely they'll hold onto some more of their water.

By flushing them for a week with clean water each day, you may be leaching all of these out the bud, so when you get round to drying the water leaves more thoroughly.

Hi guys,

I tried the water cure on a very small bud to see what it was like and it was wellllll worth it. We are having a stint of bad, sprayed smoke at the moment and i noticed the water cure cleaned it right up and gave a low grade smoke some real poke!

will be water curing an oz right away

also the weight loss was nothing to complain about, less smoke in my joint for each smoke and it actually evened out but with better results. Thanks for posting the instructions
