Benefits of water cure?

Trying to figure out if i should water cure my bud or just cure it in a jar. Are there benefits to water cure? is it healthier? smoother? I know it loses weight but thats not a real big deal because this is my personal smoke.

the bennefit is it tastes like shit. dont do it

Heres a thread bro.

A water cure done right can improve taste and smoothness. The 'look' of the nug decreases. I did it once and wasnt too impressed- the only reason i did it was because i had a mild case of powdery mildew. This helped wash any mildew away to make my bud a bit safer. Try half and half. Let us know your opinion.

anyone ive ever heard do it claims it tastes like shit. you cant wash away mildew. its systemic...inside, the powder is the final phase...reproduction,. to late then.

alright thanks guys. Im gonna do half and half.

That's my experience, tried it twice on different grows.

I've only done it once with bad results. After the sixth day, the buds started
absorbing water like a sponge, getting very bloated, until they finally started
falling apart. That said...
I got spider mites early in the summer so all the plants i've harvested since the mites
I submerged the cut and trimmed buds in water for 3-4 hours to make sure no mite survives.
That short soak doesn't affect look, taste, or weight. It in no way resembles water cured bud.
Compaired side by side with "normal" buds, there's really no difference.
I do notice one benifit, buds dry and ready to jar up to one day sooner than my normal cut, hung, and dried buds.
If after a good bombing and cleaning of my veg and flower rooms, i'm unlucky enough to get mites again, i'll use
the same method at harvest time, no question about it.

I never had any luck with the water cure, it just seems wrong to take a plant that I've looked over for months on end, trying to keep it not to wet not to dry, and then drown it in a watery grave, I like the taste of my ganja , to the point that I'd sacrifice a little potency for great taste and smells.

I dont think a half and half cure will work as well as a water cure. its too milky.

think he meant, to cure half his harvest with water ands compare.

Lets make sure we are all water curing correctly tho. Did everyone remember to keep the lid off?
