it tastes like hay, but some retain flavour when the buds are bone dry, works best with really resinous strains, I grew an auto Betty plant and sampled it at 5 days my time (California) and it got me high, I was high for about 5 minutes
im not trying to force you but if you want to try it out its your call!
Yeah brother, this is called a “tester bud”;
other methods include microwaving in short intervals, or in an oven at its lowest setting. A lot of us do it
Glad you discovered it on your own!
I have a pizza stone in the oven. I preheat the oven to lowest setting and turn off, and wait till when I turn it back on it reads 150 f ish, then turn oven back off. (Oven is not on when there’s weed in it)
I roll snug in a paper towel and microwave at 10 % power for thirty seconds.
Then I hang it over the pizza stone from the oven rack above it till outer bits are a little crispy/crunchy.
Let cool to room temp.
Repeat at less and less intervals.
The microwave nukes the moisture out of the stem, which rehydrates the flower in the process. The dry heat cycle dries the flower, the microwave pulls moisture from the center
You will always say bye bye to terps of course, but this is the best method I’ve experienced. and I haven’t seen any faster way that doesn’t absolutely destroy your weed lol.
This is an attempt at a combination of two stand alone negatives to make an acceptable positive
There ya go OP!
I’m an oven guy myself, because I don’t have a microwave, and I know Upstate is a microwave-only guy…I imagine there are almost as many methods as there are growers!
I’m curious how well it works now, I want a cannatrol but that’s never happening at 3000$ but if this works well and retains moisture/terps 100$ is a far cry from 3Gs
I put fresh buds in a brown paper bag on the dash of the car with the windows rolled up. When you get off work, your car smells and you’ve got a nice bud ready to roast. Just how the good lord intended.
I done it a lot of ways
Microwave
Oven on 225 f
When i do it and after the quick dry
It still tastes great and gets me high
I know we are close or there.
If it’s hay, it needs more time.
