Blogaphobia thanks for jumping in. Maybe I didn't water cure correctly, I believe I got the directions from this forum some time ago. I placed my cured pot in a large colander with a lid and submerged the whole thing in a 5 gallon bucket of tepid water. Everyday I would change the water in the bucket, it took about 5 days until the water cleared up. I then set the buds out to air dry. Big difference in taste, sadly also in potency.
I've made enough bubble hash to recognize trichs in the bottom of a bucket and every time I emptied the bucket I could see some going down the drain. Anytime someone handles their pot they will be knocking trichs off, especially when the buds are dry. Water curing removed a
bunch thus reducing the potency.
As alleycat and mattdreads point out, the best scenario would just be to grow a perfect crop every time, then there would be no need to tinker with the product afterwords. Sadly that perfect grow seems to be elusive for many, thus the reason I wanted to share another method to add to the others out there that try to address the Taste/Potency.
If somebody has the pot to spare they can give it a try, most will be very happy they did. On the flip side if they are happy with what they have and don't think their stuff can be improved upon, screw it, they shouldn't go through the hassle. JMHO
peace
