Watercuring for stronger, tasteless and odorless ABV buds

often, the problem (obviously not in your case) is that people are simply not scientifically inclined - thus simple logic such as the mathematical one in watercuring does not seem to register for those people. however, for those who see it, it's fairly obvious how this occurs. this is a horse that's been beaten multiple times, please google for 'watercuring cannabis' and you will see.
watercuring cannabis - Google Search
in fact, for convenience, i've included the search link. you'll see the very first thread is in fact cannabis.com, and the second one will be the one that most people have been - the 'compendium' from the hip forums.
yes, there are many assumptions - but assumptions that were already made and proven by other watercuring experiments. i'm not trying anything radically new - i'm only doing it to duff instead of fresh herb. i'm not proposing a new science, i'm just trying out on vaped herb what has already been tried on fresh herb.

Watercuring for stronger, tasteless and odorless ABV buds
in the words of the author of the compendium -
How potency is increased through the water cure
I should explain this so that the conspiracy theory kooks don't land on me like a ton of bricks.
Here's the "magic" behind the increased potency you get by water curing.
For the sake of making it simple, I'll use an example of 100 grams of bud going into the pot.
Now, you had this bud assayed and know that 15% of it is pure THC.
15% of 100 grams is 15 grams. So in our example the 100 grams of fresh bud has 15 grams of THC in it.
You water cure it and dry it. Now you have only 70 grams of bud left. WTF?
But you are deceived because the 15 grams of THC is part of the remaining 70 grams of bud. 15 divided by 70 equals 21.42%.
Sooo....
The mass didn't change, just some of the things that were there - aren't there anymore, so what is left becomes a bigger proportion of the entirety.
You go assay your water cured bud and find out it has 21.42% THC content - a 50% increase in potency.
Not bad, eh?

Watercuring for stronger, tasteless and odorless ABV buds
update on brownies: they worked out quite nicely. 1g watercured ABV buds baked into each serving delivered a comfortable couchlock type effect, although noticeably more subdued compared to using fresh bud.
currently watercuring another batch of ABV buds. for those who don't cook, you CAN smoke the watercured ABV buds. they will get you high, and they are not as bad as you may think. watercured buds - ABV or not - burn to a pure white ash because most of the contaminants are water soluble and thus leeched out from the cure. try it yourself - all my friends are amazed at just how amazingly white the ash is. this can be attested by pretty much every single person who has every smoked WC buds.
