The most fun method is not scientific. Cut off and chop up a few buds, place in Microwave for a few 15 second blast, airing it out in between. Rollit up and smoke it. If its the high your looking for, its ready to harvest. This may require several tests to get just the right buzz.lo VV
there is a better method than this that doesnt destroy as much thc.
place your fresh bud on a peper towel inside a tupperware container.
cover that tupperware container with a damp-wet (not dripping) paper towel
place the lid almost all the way on
microwave for one minute at a time on low or medium heat checking each time to see if the bud is ready. if the wet towels try out re-wet them, if the dry towel under the bud gets wet, replace it.
still not nearly as good as cured stuff, but probably one of the best ways to get smokeable bud in less than 24 hours
