Sorry, CH, but I must disagree.
Most of the THC, and it's chemical cronies, is in the resin.
Resin is insoluble in water

The resin we harvest with bubble bags is mostly in capitate glands.
Small, wax coated globules that do not dissolve in the ice water.
They are slightly heavier than water and will eventually settle on the bottom.
But, if you do it right, they remain intact.

Were they to dissolve, the screens would have nothing to screen out, yah?
What the water does is rinse away sugars, starches, salts, etc.

No harm, no foul, brah.
I'll take any opportunity to post useful information.
So, thanks for the opportunity.

Oh, and jus' to stay on-topic.
I check the trichs and stagger the harvest.
Best of both worlds.
You can get 3 different character meds from a single plant with prudent timing of a staggered harvest

Aloha,
