I've only done it once with bad results. After the sixth day, the buds started
absorbing water like a sponge, getting very bloated, until they finally started
falling apart. That said...
I got spider mites early in the summer so all the plants i've harvested since the mites
I submerged the cut and trimmed buds in water for 3-4 hours to make sure no mite survives.
That short soak doesn't affect look, taste, or weight. It in no way resembles water cured bud.
Compaired side by side with "normal" buds, there's really no difference.
I do notice one benifit, buds dry and ready to jar up to one day sooner than my normal cut, hung, and dried buds.
If after a good bombing and cleaning of my veg and flower rooms, i'm unlucky enough to get mites again, i'll use
the same method at harvest time, no question about it.
