I am an idiot. Yesterday I made the two batches for the experiment, plus another for me to use this weekend.
To make a long story short, I ended up mixing up one of my experimental batches with my batch for this weekend.
The batch that wasn't going to get any heat is fine. It's put away in the back of a closet to soak. But I screwed up the one that was getting the stove treatment and the long soak.
I'll report on the effects of the batch I didn't screw up. I really wanted to be able to give a head to head comparison of the two methods.
Since I'm all out of the bud I was using for the experiment, there will be a delay before I can do it again. The bud I have right now smokes too well for me to want to experiment with it.

I have another plant finishing up that looks like a good candidate for experimentation. I think it will be ready for harvest next week.
Sorry for the delay. I'll try to be less stoned next time I try to continue my experiments.
