This really isn't the logic, but you go ahead and claim it is.
The larger the difference in solids between the water and the material the more it would "pull out". When the plant is sitting in the water the process of osmosis will set in to equalize the amount of solids in the plants and in the water. The larger the starting difference the higher the effect of this equalization.
IMHO it wouldn't make a noticeable difference if you used tap water instead of RO water. It's not about the maximum that the water can hold, that logic is retarded, you can add a ridiculous amount of solids to water, the maximum for this case is virtually absent. The difference between what the plant has in it and the water is so great that only at the very, very end of the curing process could it make any substantial difference. Even then, you're talking about curing down to the point where the plant material is virtually destroyed an unsmokeable.

Typical Kushdog post; no actual growing experience, no common sense and shed-loads of arrogance.
Keep you're head in the books son, some day youll graduate to practical experience and realise 85% of what's in grow books is total tripe.

How does it pull "stuff" from the buds? What property gives it this ability? My guess would be that it's the universal solvent and slightly acidic. An acid works by stealing electrons, breaking the outer bonds and making them unstable and break down. But there is also a natural decomposition, accelerated by the addition of water. Maybe the chlorophyll is absorbed into solution by electrophoresis. Whatever or however makes no difference; it would not be negated by such an infinitesimal amount of "contaminants". Consider the long name for "PPM"; it's Parts Per MILLION". If your tap water has 120 PPM, how is that even remotely significant? Too much is made of RO water, as if cannabis somehow miraculously survived just by the skin of their teeth with that nasty old rain water. Sorry for the rant; I'm totally baked.

(can't resist) Sweet mother of poo ... eureka! I will attach a battery float charger and a pair of electrodes to my water-curing jar! Look for "Charge-Aligned™"

its called RO for short. pretty soon we will all talk to each other that way and there wont be a code sheet for the sheltered lives some are accustomed too hahahaha!
It's called Reverse Osmosis water. You have to go to the store and purchase it. It will be in your local "gettn' place" but you have to read the label.It will probably say DISTILLED WATER and in tiny print say from "reverse osmosis" Im not gonna tell you how a watch works just because you ask what time it is, but..... Just don't drink it yo if you do your a fag! it will cause you arthritis,bursitis,and, maybe even gout! and all that jazz! You got an awesome SN (no-homo of course) sounds like its "ala-bam-ee-an" haha!

maybe this is what you all are after
Opium Soaked Herb
An element was added to certain shipments of Thai herb in the 70's: "early water."
A by-product of the heroin trade, early water was the leftover water used to create the heroin from the raw opium.
It contained all of the constituents of opium except most of the heroin.
The curing Thai herb was soaked in the water and redried to absorb the opiate alkaloids. The result was a high that was sought out by some, but more than most bargained for. A good wash was an enjoyable thing, but some were over-laced, which caused a dilemma for those who would start spinning after a few hits on a joint.

so if tap water had 120ppm (parts per million) what are those PARTS? so if you had 10 ppm vs 120ppm that means tap water would have 110 more ppm, which would mean when you dry your bud out it will have a higher ppm of unessasary "stuff" on it.
if you start with a low PPM than stuff from the bud can be removed from the bud and put into the water. but the water can only hold so many parts per million. so if you started with water that is 100 ppm lower than a Diffent water it will hold 100 ppm more....
but I guess if you aren't trying to take as much water solible matteral out of you bud.
and rain water has a low PPM vs tap water. Fyi

Okay im going to try some water curing on a small amount of my crop for shits & giggles. Also it will be done earlier that the air/cure so that will keep me from smokin it before it's done lol, the lack of smell while burning makes this sound almost too good to be true if one we so inclined to smoke a nicely rolled J at a bar or some other non MJ friendly place where a smoke would be nice
As far as the water to be used I think KushDog has a valid point but not for the reason he is stating. In Phoenix we have NASTY tap water and I sure as hell wouldnt use it for growing it's about 525ppm outa the tap and 8.4PH. Im know it's loaded up with chlorine to kill whatever is in it by the city. It makes sense to me I would not want to use water I dont drink to cure my herb. Since I have RO water ill be using that.
I think either water would be capable of pulling equal amounts of stuff from the herb. But the tap water has chlorine and other undesirable items in it for my taste. Perhaps it wouldnt make a diff... but why take a chance?

If you can drink it you can smoke what's in it and not notice (drinking water has generally low PPM anyways), but if you can't drink it would you risk smoking what's in it? That's my rule.Okay im going to try some water curing on a small amount of my crop for shits & giggles.
