The trichomes are not water soluble. So the impurities leach into the water without taking the thc. After 7-9 days of water changing the buds are about 2/3 the original weight and size but love making edibles with zero week grass taste.I am curious though how water can cure weed. I thought the cure was all about time and no oxygen or light getting to the green.
Hippies buddy has it setting in water with holes in the lid which allows oxygen and moisture in the plastic container.
Sounds cool,,I just don't get the curing part.
