Drying Your Buds

Every person that grows marijuana has a special way of drying. Some growers use heaters some use dehydrators. One of the many ways to dry herb leaves and flowers is to cut each one individually and place it on a screen. Then, place the screen of cut herb and flowers in a low or now light place, fan lots of air over the screen and wait 6-7 days.



The longer it takes for your buds to dry the better. This is because when the stems are left attached to drying leaves and flowers, the moisture has to work its way down the stems to escape. The leaves and flowers tend to dry out but then re-moisturize as the stems and branches pass moisture back up.



Herb and flower drying is only ½ the process. Many of the oils and resins in the weed, need additional time to change their state and cure and mature to maximum flavor. A 2 week period allows a slow maturing time and makes for the excellent marijuana taste :p.

However sometimes humans are impatient  there are quick ways to do it which will be explained later on.

Now that your done go blaze….

A way in which we used was to place the plants in brown paper bags and leave them in an open room. This allowed the paper bags to absorb the moisture.

Another method a friend of mine used was hanging the plants over a small heater at a low heat.

If you dont fancy, building something huge, use some wire and your airing cupboard.
Trim your buds down, and then tie the stem with wire and wrap the other end round a pole in the cupboard.
Very very nice drying rack in the pics tho K+
Peace out

light degrades thc so in the dark is the first thing. secondly never place a fan thats gonna blow directly on ur harvest. a fan accross the room blowing a gentle breeze across the harvest is fine. quickdrying also degrades thc,

When I take a snippet of bud, I put it on top of my Internet router to dry. After I smoke it, my brain is connected via wireless!

Hehe... I've been using this method for quite some time. Works well... takes 3-4 hours to dry, and I've never had a headache... except when the wireless high-jackers are near.

I found that hanging them first for 3-4 days in a dark room with air circulation, then placing them in a paper grocery bag for an additional 3-4 days works really good.
