Thanks mate. Sorry I completely missed the point of my post: yes I wanted to know if it would hurt my plant. This is the bud I'm planning on cutting (pic attached). Also any pointers on how I should cure it fast? I was thinking of leaving it on the balast
Ballast in a paper bag works ok about 3 hours on a mag ballast it smoke able
Best method is the paper towel methed
I stole this from the forum I read it on
So, after trying several ways to quick dry bud I came across one that in my opinion works the best. We have all tried the standard oven treatment, and of course your left with bud that has lost some of it's kick not to mention that it comes out tasting like crap. So if your looking to maintain potency when quick drying buds try this:
You will need:
One four sided microwave safe dish with lid (something like small casserole dish)
Paper towels
A Microwave
And of course your fresh bud
First you line the bottom of the pan with DRY paper towels. Then you put your bud on top of that. Now wet enough paper towels to form a double layer to lay across the top of your pan (make sure that the wet paper towel is not touching your bud), wring the paper towels out so that they are damp but not wet. Now cover the paper towels and pan with the lid, sealing three of the four sides (or some space for steam to escape). Microwave for one minute on 40% power, take the pan out of the microwave and uncover for 20-30 seconds. Repeat these steps 3-5 times or until your bud is dry enough to smoke. Re-wet top paper towels as needed.
I'm sure many of you have tried this but it was a new method for me, and the buds turn out soooo much better.
