alright i know this should probally go under harvesting and curing but i never get any answers so im posting here, if i water cure my plant how does it effect the conversion of the chemicals that turn into thc during regular curing? i want to water cure but im worried it will kill the potency even though ive heard lots of people say it doesnt matter potency will be the same but no one bothers to explain how thats possible,

I find it increases the potency as your weed becomes more compact (you'll lose about 25% weight) so the trichomes are more dense. The THC conversion thing takes oxygen & time. Water curing is only to remove the harshness of uncured bud when smoking.

i see, so if i water cure then dry then put it in like a skoal chew thing (my little bro chews i think its gross) and open it only to take out a bowl to smoke a few times a day will it work for thc conversion? cuz that would be sweet cuz i usually have filled up skoal tins of bud under my bed for storage and if it doubled as curing that would be killer.

that's right, just make damn sure it's dried thoroughly or you'll get mold.

thx man, id rep u again but it wont let me, i already have water cured bud thats dry thats been in their a week almost. no mold thankfully! but its also kinda cool under my bed (i live in a basement) so what temps do mold thrive in? the one can had alot of moisture so i left it open for a while and no mold. and the first one i did didnt have a fan on it during drying but it still didnt mold at all and only took 3 days to dry (it was a little too dry actually so i added orange peels when i started to normal cure it. ) i myself cant think of any reason other than the temps prevented mold but then shouldnt it dry slower in cooler temps? cuz mine actually took less time than norm. taste is not really important to me right now im much more interested in potency and getting it done as fast as possible while not killin potency.a little less potency dont bug me to bad though, as long as i can feel it after i smoke a bowl.
