Thanks, this site and forum have helped a lot. The biggest con with water curing is the taste. My Auto Duck buds did not look or smell nearly as good and no fruit odor.
These water cured buds still smell very heavily of fruit punch, but it taste just like auto duck. It's hard to describe if you never tried it. I'm thinking all water cured buds will have this same taste that I don't care a lot for, but still experimenting. I put fresh air buds in the jar with the dry water cure to see if it helps after a few days. I wonder how adding bought terpenes afterwards might work?
Air wins for sure, but if we learn that water cure is actually really healthier that could change things a bit.
