water curing is always debatable because its not used by everyone. some people got crappy results from it, i've had good results. BUT Brimi is right it will lower bud weight, if you do it right and dont rush it you will have some really potent and pure stuff, you will lose the bag appeal smell, and the smoke is really smooth. its not widely used but i do it to my personal bud. its not like the only thing you can do lol but it will get all those dead bugs off your bud and clorophil but it will NOT wash away THC
