How to dry buds quickly?
 

I got some big fat buds here that are not dried enough and a little harsh to smoke, anyone got some good tips on drying buds quickly and efficiently?

set your oven to 200 F. put them there for 30 minutes.

Nuke 'em.

Don't do either of those if you love your buds. You've obviously been patient enough to wait for them to grow. Give them a few days to properly dry out. Don't try baking a lot of it. Maybe just a bit to taste and satisfy your lust. :winkwink:

I didn't grow them I bought them....good buds are very expensive down here $700 for a little less then 2 ounces (50g) of fat buds.

don't do that shit!

put them in a brown paper bag.

lol nah man I won't be putting it in the oven thats some dumb shit.

great info here people

That's not that expensive for good buds.

I'd suggest putting a couple buds in the microwave to hold you over and letting the rest air-dry. I just did that yesterday. Yeah, it sucks, but what else you gonna do?

paper bag, clipped upside down stems down hang for a day or so depending on moistness

Oracle pay attention i know what im talking about....

DO NOT PLACE IN MICRO
DO NOT PLACE IN OVEN
PAPER BAG is ok...but leave top of bag open

if you cant wait to smoke the buds ..take a small amount a place it near a 40-60 watt light bulb...it will dry quickly without raising the temeture of the bud so much where the thc glands are heated and the majority of the buds potential for getting high is lost.

Hoenslty its worth it to wait...smoke some ragweed while waiting the few days:thumbsup

Paper bag's the best option, but it'll only best your air-dry time by about half.... still gotta wait in the day+ range.

Oven at a _low_ temperature should be fine for a few buds, if you want to hurry it up.

Works well for Hops - a close cousin to cannabis.

lite them on fire and stand over the pile

Don't do anything stupid and "nuke" it. Just leave the bag open or take a small nug and set it out and it'll be dry later today for you to enjoy. : )

Ice cream bucket with silica gel or other desiccant (available from hardware stores) in the bottom. Then put whatever you want to dry on a screen hanging above the desiccant but not touching it. Close the bucket and it'll suck the moisture right out of it in no time.

Probably more effort than it's worth though... lol

hops dont get you high becuase its heated...marijuana does.

heating marijuana and relasing the thc crystals in an oven or micorwave is pretty much killing the potential of getting you high an a waste of weed.especially somones homegrown :2 cents:....another myth is eating uncooked marijuana will get you high..it wont..unless you cook it and release the thc crystals in the food itself ...the thc oils are cooked into the food..you eat food..you get high..

be patient...good bud is worth the wait

well i did put a small bud in a paperbag and in the microwave on defrost for like 50 seconds...i did overdry it a little bit buy i smoked 2 bowls very smooth and a lot better tasting then then wet weed. :upsidedow

Ill try to dry it in a paperbag in the closet for a day or two see how that goes...

Hops contains oils that are utilized as well - it's just that those oils are put to use for different purposes - namely bittering beer. It's all more similar than you might think.

I did say "_low_ temperature."

THC doesn't release from buds to any significant degree until about 350 degrees F from what i've just now read.

I'd imagine 200-225 degrees F would be safe for a couple dozen minutes - wouldn't you think?

Interesting info about the uncooked pot you have there, though... makes sense, but I didn't realize it.

Use the microwave

break or cut a bud up, place it in a folded paper towel and place it near a sunny window for a short time

Never ever use anything lowfat for brownies also... thc binds to the fat... load your cooking up with butter and fats when making bud treats.

LOL..wait until tommroow and you have half the weed your lookng at today..thats more frustrating that waiting for it to dry..its amazing how much bud shrinks during the first 48 hours after its been cut from the plant:1orglaugh:thumbsup

wow i can't believe you microwaved that shit. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

anytime i get some real fresh weed right off the plant i always let dry in a bag for a day or so and cure it in mason jars for a month or more. id rather let it cure and buy more ready to smoke weed then nuke something lol..

If you really need some speed.
Use a box fan, air conditioner filter, and some bungee cords.

move to vegas and hold it out the window for 15 seconds

Keep it warm and allow some ventilation every so often.

Chop it up and it will dry faster..

Over night should be long enough....

or just smoke it in a pipe using scissers to cut it

If you want it right away.. remember the following dry it on a sheet of paper in DARK cupboard..[light will reduce the content of THC!]

:pimp words of wisdom!!!!!!!!!!!
4:20????

paper bag overnight, take them out during the day.. rinse and repeat for a week or so

microwaving and oven, some stupid smokers here..

just put it in a brown paper sack with a few paper towels at the bottom and sit in a closet.

:thumbsup

but oracle, i suggest you slam them right up your arse

microwave marijuana

#2 on that search goes to a forum so I won't post the link

Seeing as it's October now, make that 20 seconds. :thumbsup

Heating it up to 200 degrees will not release THC. You need close to 400 degrees to actually release THC.

We have a winner!

thats actually 310-320

slow dry them, then put them in jars for curing, like good wine it gets better with age, be sure they are air tight though, I have some really nice buds drying as well. Call me a lucky man, I live in the NL

gReat info heRe ppl....lol
