what is water curing?
you should remove any molded part and some adjacent, and let the rest air out well in the open, then store at hopefully better conditions.

some growers cure for months mcghetto, they say it makes for the best weed. however there is a proper way of doing this and if it is not kept there is risk of mold. water curing will not save the molded product, you should throw away those safely. what hasn't been affected can be saved but you have to cure better, open the jar more often for longer periods.

I would discard all of the product in contaminated jar and check the other jars for contamination as well.

I still havnt heard of water curing. whats the process in that include?
there are a few posts on this forum about it that you could search for. But basically what it is, is instead of air drying and then putting it in jars to cure; you put freshly cut and trimmed nug into a container of water and submerge them. Leave the lid open so that things can evaporate out and change the water every day, making sure not to disturb the nug as much as possible. After a week of changing the water every day take the nug out. Put it on a screen over a fan for a couple hours and it's ready to smoke.

the idea is that water takes out all the chlorophyll and other things you don't want to smoke. You lose more weight, because you are pulling more out of the nug, but the nug is more potent per weight.
