I agree with you good doctor water curing is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Obviously you will lose potency, it's the same idea as a bubble bag, water breaks trichomes off. Not to mention people claim a 20% loss in weight lol... use your head people.
If you put wet weed in jar's when it's still real wet it will kill the smell, look, and feel of your weed not to mention if your worried about mold in boxes jars will be worse.
