I see the % increase for bud to THC ratio, but, all in all new, THC does not magicly appear in the process.
If I water cured a 1 gram bud with 15% THC to green waste ration
and lets just say it ended up after drying to 1/2 gram, the THC to green waste ration would increase yes, but it does not get more potent, more THC did not appear out of thin air. If I ash that bud in one hit, I still end up with the original 15 % THC count in my lungs, minus any that stick to my bong/pipe though.
It is not a true potency % increase, you are giving an increase on THC to green waste ration.

Did you guys cut them and put them right into the water or let them dry out first?

WrldWidRadio911, the short answer basically is yr wrong. Go re-read the post on water curing, if you still dont understand it, get back to me. Bascally if you cured some of your weed normally and some in water, the water cured will be more potent....ounce for ounce, or joint for joint. Whatever.
Oh mightyBudda, the buds go right from the plant into water, change the water daily. After the 7th day, dry normally. I hung mine to dry for about one day, after I water cured it.
Peace

Thanks Videoman - I had visions of the buds trying to grow roots if I went straight to the water.

I did read and carefully
you stated
https://www.rollitup.org/members/wrldwidradio911.htmlassay your water cured bud and find out it has 21.42% THC content - a 50% increase in potency.
Your statement is true, with 1 exception
50% increase in potency. (wrong)
and why?
I'll explain it again (but first, forget about what your saying and read this like you are just another guy who is trying to understand)
1. THC CONTENT IN THE BUD AFTER WATER CURE WOULD SHOW IT AT NOW 21.42% , BUT THAT JUST MEANS WHAT % IS THC & THAT NOW THERE IS ONLY 76.54 % EVERYTHING ELSE. BECAUSE YOU GOT RID OF THE NASTIES IN THE BUD.
EXAMPLE:
I break open a chicken egg which is lets just say (guess) 40 % yolk and 60% egg white. I only want the white so I separate the yolk from the egg, but do not get it all out so the ratio is 95% whites and 5 % yolk.
You do the math but the egg yolk just increased by % compared to what I started with but the actual white did not physically increase, so it did not get more potent i just have more of the egg white % wise compared to the other other chemicals or in this case the yolk.

Weight is weight, end of story. Come back and try to argue the point after you've tried it.

But your not talking weight, your talking % and all i am saying is just because the % of THC is mathematically higher, (because there is less of other things)
it does not = higher potency
I have a pie, 50% apple & 50 % cherry, I eat 2 pieces of apple pie so now there is lets just say 30 % apple and 70 % cherry.
Well my cherry % just increased a lot, but there is still the same amount of cherry pie.
Just a mathematical % increase but more cherry did not magically appear, the cherry is not more potent, there is just more cherry left than apple now...
Get it!
Got it
Good!!

Okay, let me engage your desire to debate the point here. lol
THC is not water soluable, but alcohol works, so.....Lets assume there is two ounces of weed, and lets say I take all the THC off of the two ounces through an extraction, and re-place it back onto one ounce of weed, is the weed not stronger now?
Peace
Get it!

Ok , results are in and it works, It took two days for the buds to dry, but i did get higher than giraffe's pussy.
Thanks for the post vid, and as far as this debate, well you can only get so high, weather its Bammer or super dupper dank, your gonna get high,
what i like is the smoothness, and my friends whom are blown away by what they saw and smoked, So i recommend , follow the instructions and try it.
keep in mind its gonna be summer time which means heat, DUH , who wants to carry around some stinky dank while trying to get a slurpee from 7-11.

But the one ounce of weed IS now stronger than the two ounces were.
PS, if you want me to respect your " AUTHORITAH" you'll stop cutting school and learn how to spell the damn word. lol
