drying with rice

I have done this a few times now and it works pretty well, better than leaving it on my ballast or throwing in the microwave for a quick dry.
 
this is a great thread. i am going to try this right now with about a 1/4 oz of bubba kush right off the plant. i will have 2 jars, one with only rice, and the other with rice and grapefruit peels. i will post pics and anyone that is interested in the outcome may drop me a comment and see what happened. STAY GREEN!
 
High!

Did anyone completed their tests using rice? Anyone do a subjective potency test versus traditional drying? I was thinking I'd give it a try. I don't usually eat rice except when I eat asian food, but I figured I'd get some of that instant rice that comes in plastic sacks with holes and just drop a few in a tupperware or large canning jar between a layers of buds. So maybe that'll come in handy for others trying the rice dry method.

Here's another question. If loss of potency occurs when using rice, wouldn't it mean that we could get high off eating the rice if we used the same sacks over and over? Is that a new medible?:weed:
 
Ok guys, so I found this thread because I was told to try this method, I used it on about a half ounce and left it submerged in a bowl of jasmine/brown rice jars for about 5 days. The weed lost its potency to some degree, it is dry and tasteless. So I wish I would have read here first, the paper towel layer would have been much less wasteful.l

It did take completely wet weed and dry it nearly 70% overnight though, just don't leave it for more than a day or two, might have better results.

Now however my next experiment is to cook this fully plumped up weed rice. Hrm, we'll see what happens. Just joined the forums, nice to meet you guys btw!
 
Using things like rice or anything else that will draw moisture out of buds faster than proper drying methods goes against all the valid reasons for a long slow dry.

So why do people look for a faster way to dry when faster is always detrimental to your bud?

No patience..
 
I'm looking for ideas on how to cure kg's of bud without using hundreds of glass jars. Anyone have any ideas or leads? Thanks
 
You guys should just use Calcium Chloride(ice melt) to dry. I guarantee it will be more effective than rice.

I used coffee filters and twist ties to make rice filled bags. I put tiny holes in the bags of rice with a pin. It worked nicely to control the humidity until I could take them out. I dried 1 week then put my buds in jars with the rice bags for about 5 days. I opened my jars twice a day for 10 minutes. Still waiting for results.
 
why not put rice in tea bags or similar...dries your herb, and easy to recover the rice from the herb....hth


edit...person before me has a good idea...;))

You can buy cooking bags for herbs that should work nicely. Search "cotton muslin bags" in Google and choose a size that works for your needs - fill with rice and put in with your buds, no fuss, no muss.
 
That 5 minute rice stuff comes in individual serving size perforated plastic bags. Just throw one of this in and problem solved with cross contamination.
 
Rice in empty tea bags ($2 from Daiso for 200 bags). Put fresh buds in tin box with rice bags. Not sure how long though. Guess I’ll find out…
