You spent at least 3-4 months of your life getting this far, do not right. What's an extra 3-4 days gonna cost you?
What do you mean? You smoke it on the bulb?Wanna Know wat I did? Probably not but ill tell u anyway. I wrapped the buds up in tin foil (only 1 layer but 2 at max) and put them directly on top of a 60w lite. Burns like a charm and still has tons of thc
i think he just maens that he put the foil on top of a bulb in order to speed dry some bud, then smoked the bud after he speed dried it..What do you mean? You smoke it on the bulb?
Thank bros. Anyone would be crazy to dry their buds in a microwave. Your smoke will taste like chicken and it destroys the trichomes.Aight so I just tried fcs method, it did work bud it didnt dry the buds as much as the 60 watt lights do, it just take out the moisture to make them smokable, and I think your method loses more thc, im still stoned though bud I had 2 smoke 2 fat bong bowls
I know :'( but some people do it to test the producti think he just maens that he put the foil on top of a bulb in order to speed dry some bud, then smoked the bud after he speed dried it..
i personally think the whole speed drying thing is kind of silly.. you spend months and months growing the stuff only to rush one of the most important parts of the process, ie, the cure? idk, i'll shut up..
Ill give it a try... thanks for the knowledge ( makes more sense then buying a bag if your out lol!)I think I've found the perfect way to dry 1 small nug freshly cut off a plant for a tester nug..
step 1. make sure you have a decent microwave (1,000 watts or more with power level settings)
step 2. NEVER EVER GOD DAMN EVER go over 40% power
step 3. line bottom of a glass bowl with 2-3 coffee filters and lay bud on filters..
step 4. take 2 more coffee filters and run under water then ring them out so theyre wet but not dripping wet.
step 5. cover the glass bowl with nug on botttom on all sides except one small opening (steam to escape)
step 6. microwave on 30-40% power for 45 seconds.
step 7. pull out of microwave and remove top coffee filters and let sit 3 minutes.
step 8. replace damn coffee filters on top and microwave 30-40% power 30 seconds.. repeat step 7 & 8 till bud it dry enough.
I've done this before and you lose almost no thc and I've actually had amazing flavor off quick dried bud doing this method.
Hey, it's been 5 years, or 15 lol. I'm glad I tried this, and I can't believe the microwave almost perfectly dried the bud as well as currently enjoying a smoke-able joint that doesn't smell like grassy chloraphyll. It's hitting too. CheersThis may be almost ten years later, but I have, just today in fact, discovered that it is fine to dry buds in a microwave. Sometimes desperation calls for such things. Not so sure about all the steam bullshit though. I tried that but it seems just as good putting it straight into the microwave without steaming. Not that I'd recommend this as a normal drying method, but if you're desperate for a smoke, it does the job.
Fam dehumidifier and a closed space will work but I never tried with mj, just with sage lolI'm looking for a faster way to dry out erb rather than letting it sit for days.
does anyone know a way to dry it in a matter of hours?
That's super interesting. Could be that the terpenes and THC is at the highest when you chopped and it just degrades after it sits, albeit improving the flavor and harshness over time. I can attest to the joint of my premature Sour Kush is hitting me nicely.If anybody ever wants to dry their bud quickly, the method in the first page of this thread by FCSoldier is spot on. Something changes when it's been microwaved and I've literally had strains that I preferred that way. No doubt, you lose the flavor, but the high became brain melting. I grew Barney's Farm Dr.Grinspoon for years and I hated it with a "proper" cure. Was a little better with a brown paper bag cure. Put that shit in the microwave once just to have some smoke, damn near had a panic attack after sharing a blunt with a friend. Learned to take a couple quick tokes every 3-4 hours, and had the perfect daytime energy boosting smoke. Didn't really smell very strong so I really liked it on the job sites. But I kid you not, it turned a so-so smoke into a absolute brain melter
