I found water curing to reduce the taste and aroma but increaced potency/weight, as far as is my understanding letting the buds soak 7 days (reccomended) uses the process of Osmosis which is the movment of of stuff naturally from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in this case the stuff being the nutrients (some people who use this method will fert untill harvest) chloroplasts and other stuff you dont really want to smoke.
for me it was fine to smoke cause I normally can't taste smoke anyways, everything just tastes like plain old smoke to nutral with only varying harshness, with the water cure I tried (1oz of fresh cut bud) turned into about 1/4oz of dried bud lost alot of green color but was the smoothest smoke ever and was much stronger, basically this is just by increacing the THC% of weight value.
I found it really nice with a small quantity of bud (to dry just let it sit on a paper towel on my comp near the hot exhaust fan on top for about 4 hrs and was ready to smoke, from being soaking wet.
if u grow to sell I can see the lost weight, reduced bag appearance, and complications with drying anything more than a couple oz's of soaking wet bud.
actually me and my friend both tried it with different kinds of bud each, I only did it for 3 days he did it for 5 (the guide I read called for 7) and the longer it was in the better it was but even after 3 days it was still very noticible.
I still prefer bud cured in mason jars for at least a month but some people cant afford to have an oz of bud sitting in a closet and just smoke what they buy say between paydays or w/e but if you just want really strong weed (still preportional to origonal strength) and don't care much about the taste or aroma (basically if you are only interested in being high, and not so much the smoking experience... if that makes any sense) it's an option.
also:
(you change the water every day and leave it in open container to vent and make sure bud is completley underwater either buy weighing it down or a net or something)
I just used an icecream buket with a plate to hold everything underwater, drying method was mentioned above but the guide I read on it (can't find it anymore
) said that a food dehydrator works well.
