quick dry to sample bud

well, i'm just about ready to harvest my plant and i decided i wanted to try a bit....

I've seen a few of the threads on similar, thought i'd ad another idea that i just tried...

would be good to hear what you other impatient/curious growers do and/or prefer Would be cool also if you want to try this and tell me how you found it

blab's idea (as far as i know)

- Take your bud (roughly cut) and microwave it for about 20 seconds inside a papertowel

-Take it and chop it up more finely...i use a bit tobacco (to help keep it alight) as well.

- Roll a joint then roughly run your lighter along the joint while turning it.

- Put the joint in the microwave for 20 seconds - then smoke it!!

It Will Taste Quite Shit, Although Its Nice bud

yeah i felt the same...didn't taste great... burnt well and got me high though

All's Good then but Now U Wont Stop Toking it Up

I have micro'd stuff before, but I do it slower. I don't put a paper towel on top of the bud because it traps the moisture. I go 30 secs at 20% power. Then I flip it onto a dry spot and do it again. I do that till its just right. 20% power keeps it from cooking or melting the trichs.

out.

Lol i thought of trying that once but I think im going to have to stick with the long week period of it drying out.

Ive put mine on a radiator once works well makes the bud grind fluffy and crispy.

you can dry a bud nicely over night, get a bud chop it up , put it in a small tobacco type tin and put the tin on top of your lamp, by time you wake up it is smokeable and doesn't taste like shit

that's good advice...i've got to have control
i'll try..i'm sure the wait will be worth it

The problem with freezing is moisture, if frozen moist the water freezes and destroys the medicine. so place equal amount of dried ice in with MMJ and place in a jar then in the freezer. The dry ice will pull the moisture out of the MMJ and replace the air with carbon dioxide. Dry ice is a frozen carbon dioxide. When it warms, CO-2 converts from a frozen solid to a gas, without turning into a liquid. When moist marijuana is enclosed with dry ice (Frozen co-2) at virtually zero relative humidity, water molecules migrate from the cannabis to the dry ice. This caused the relative humidity of the co-2 to increase and the moisture content of the marijuana to decrease, This process occurs below 32`F (0`C) and it preserves cannabis. Put the dry ice on the bottom and bud on top. Seal with a lid Make a few small holes in the lid of the container for excess gas to exit. Place in your kitchen freezer. Check every 12-24 hours. When the dry ice is gone, the buds should be completely dry. If not dry, add more dry ice until cannabis is dry. To conserve ice by partially drying buds for a few days before enclosing with dry ice. This method retains potency and freshness and causes very little degradation of resin glands from, light, heat, air, and fondling hands. The smoke has a mint like taste because the chlorophyll does not break down.

I found this in a local thread the person who posted it was referring preserving it. But with some experimenting it could be done in 12 hrs I believe ?? with no degradation. Except you now also smoke chlorophyll ??? Was going to give it a try

what if you put the bud in the microwave, BUT put it on DEFROST instead of the regular micro?

do you think that would work? its not heating it so much and its on a low setting for defrost....i dunno maybe it will work maybe it wont.

That's kind of the idea of using 20% power. Nice and soft heat but enough to push the moisture out.


out.

i found that the potency of putting it on top of your reflector beats micro bud and on the taste scale too

i chopped a bud off and tried the oven method, smells like fruity grass clippings from a compost. but it got my girlfriend high, She is my guinea pig. Was really brittle and broke up well for a blunt. but when my plants done, deffo gonna cure it properly

ezy

u wana have a bit of control. u've waited so long so might as well wait a lil more for xcelent bud coz otherwise u gona finish the whole plant by choppin n smokin

I was gonna try wrapping a little.nug in toilet pappe and set it on the heater base to dry would that work without killing it

Use a paper towel. I shred my smalls in a grinder then set it out, regrind, set out again, repeat until it resembles something smokable. No heat, doesn't take long if you keep reshredding, tastes like sugary uncured weed.

i take my sample put it in brown bag after 2 days i brake it up more and wait another 2 days then smoke.. way better than microwave..

Sit It in room with dehumidifier or hot water cupboard, 2-4 days be dry
Only microwave out of desperation I've tried it years ago but would rather go without than microwave my nuggs, but each to their own its ur weed do with it as u will this is how I dry

Rapid method 1 for me is shred wet bud in a coffee grinder and spread it out on a plate to dry. Usually ready in 12ish hrs, taste like shit, harsh af

Or water cure for a 5-7 days, let dry and smoke it. Doesnt taste like shit, or much at all, but it isnt harsh and gets you high. I water cure an oz or so each harvest to hold me over cuz it takes forever to fully dry/cure right.
