Before I get into the tutorial, I wanna share some pics of the sweet purp x bubb that i quick dried last night.










Quick Drying Tutorial:

Once you approach the last 10-20 days of flowering your anticipation to taste the sweet sticky green may overcome your patience. This is perfectly normal. We all have such an overwhelming passion for this hobby, and we sometimes like to share it with others. That is why I have decided to document my TOP SECERET quick drying method that we only teach to martians.

Here you will find the absolute best way to quick dry your bud, while maintaining a natral look, taste, smell, and potency.


MATERIALS REQUIRED:

1 - ripe bud
1 - paper towel
1 - saucer or plate
1 - Microwave


Start off by making sure you have a small bud that looks ripe for the picking.




Next, Get your paper towel and fold it over, to create a "pocket" for the bud to sit in.







Next, Place the bud into the folded paper towel


Make sure the leaves are laying ^^UPWARDS^^ as in around the bud, this will protect the buds during microwaving. ***do not skip this step!!!**




Next, Get your saucer, or a "plate" as you earthlings call it, and place the bud in the middle. It is essential to place the bud on a plate, do not skip this step!!!!




Microwave for about 00:20-00:30 seconds, I shoot for 00:27 so I dont overcook my bud!!





After microwaving, the leaves should be wrapped around the bud, and very lightly cripsy, while the rest of the bud should maintain a little moisture.



Let the bud sit out for about 5 minutes and then toss it in a sandwich baggie, tie it in a knot to immediately start the curing process.

the part about folding the leaves up is pointless...... microwaves heats from the inside out,by exciting water molecules ... they do not "cook"

hey spittin,

try something else, i've found this is the best way although a little harsh, it tastes better than all other methods i have tried and it gets me reasonably stoned too (for quick dried).

get a bud and cut it up into small ish pieces,

put them inside a small metal container and put that on top of your hid lamp over night,
when you wake in the morning it is completely dry.

..but then it wouldnt really be a quick dry.. plus Im also trying to preserve bag-appeal if that makes any sense

it is quick dry, sure it takes about 6-7 hours but it works much better than doing it in 30 seconds
