not much.. you lose ton of weight and if not careful buds are crispy. It is for sampling only or get a bit if I am low, its still fine smoke but its not properly dried smoke. usually takes two hours and buds can be smoked.

Just put it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds then put in freezer for a minute 30 seconds. Repeat until dry

Its a common practice. Just grab the LOWER MOST BUD, and a really small one. Grabbing a 1 gram nugget can cost you a 2-3 gram nugget at final harvest, so make it a small one.

i set some buds inside my pc case, or on top of a cable box or something warm. Overnight it will be crispy in the morning.Thast for a quick dry.


Try not to cut anything early, what looks like only a bowl pack could be a couple 1/8ths in a few weeks.

[QUOTE From cutting one small one won't do anything to other buds growing?[/QUOTE]

Could cause stress, and invite organisms into your plants through the damage. Stress is always bad, but i doubt it would be an issue with a small bud. But like we all said earlier, you will regret i,t after you dont take our words for it, like we all did on our firsts.Especially when you see how big the bud that as right next to the one you cut turned out you will kick yourself

DONT NUKE it.

Bad bad bad. Dont go above 160f. DIGITAL ballast works. I wouldnt do it on a magnetic ballast, 2 hot.

No method of fast drying ever produced a good quick joint to check out when Iv'e tried it . Microwave works fast as long as you dont do more than 7-8 seconds at a time but it really sucks compared to waiting . I have used the ballast method too worked a little better for me just takes longer . slower driyng lets more of the good stuff stay in the bud instead of evaporating into the air . Smoking weed that tastes like hay is just always a dissapointment .

pick the bud you want , set on paper plate , set microwave to 16 mins , then press power 2 , then press start ,
flip bud at the 8 min mark ,

wait for ding/bell , enjoy

Woah I didn't know I was still getting comments on this thread. Lol I took the smallest bud i can find and trust me guys it was super tiny. I tried the microwave and turned it on the lowest setting possible.. I put it in for a minute but checked it at the 30 second mark and to be honest it didn't work at all. It felt more moist than it was before I put it in. Maybe because it wasn't on a paper plate idk but that's something ill never try again. I tried to smoke it, tasted like the nastiest weed ive ever smoked. I ended up throwing it away after the first hit. Fuckin gross lol. I learned my lesson

and you said your patient...lol just wait til its ready, dried,cured...that's when its best...like right when your about to chop...take a small sample and properly dry it before smoking it.

IF it's that small of a bud, I sometimes just cut it up real fine and hit it outta the bowl. It will be majorly harsh but works for me as long as it's not too big of a bud.

i set the oven to lowest setting and just chuck it in on a cookie sheet 4-5 min and its dried enough to smoke, fresh weed tastes like your smokingfresh lawn clippings, still tons of chlorophyl in the plant but it will get ya baked if your hard up

I cut it real small and fry or oven bake until it feels dry. The smoke is harsh but it does the job.
