Best way to dry bud for sampling??

What I like to do is snip off a lower branch starting week 6 of flowering, clip the fan leaves off that branch, trim it up & then take it to a car under the carport & let it hang dry from a visor with all the windows up. The temperature in the car with windows up is hot & very dry inside. About 8 hours later I've got some nice tasting, burn easy premature bud to sample. Fuck microwaves & ovens. That method totally fucks up taste.

I like the toaster oven method; just sit it in the middle and set the temp to 115 and let it bake for 5minutes at a time (takes roughly 30minutes).

i agree with everyone and disagree too...LOL...


ok well...ive tried all methods...except that jerky machine thing lol... microwave, wow. DONT DO THAT...ive tried this on nugz 27 days into flower, 35 days into flower and then last time i tried it was 47 days....NONE were good to me...waste of time, potentially lethal bud and waitin around on bull...i hated myself for like 2 hours or more until i got a bag n said fuuuuu it...lol...oven was a weird chared taste? like weird...i did get LIGTH HEADED HIGHS...nothing special worth the loss of the baby nugz...

I do say wait...n then near the end do ya thing...best method fo me is tha envelope n ballast for QUICK high.. the car one with windows up..GREAT..done this...weed was CRISPY...i coulda done lines of it LOL...

i dont kno...everyone is diff and we do things slightly diff n that sligh diff could be enough to get diff results?

LOVE U ALL! PEEEACE!

Assuming you don't have a vape:

I used to have a big-ass CRT monitor that got hot, it dried buds pretty well. Could use an older TV.

In front of air conditioner vents is good, that air is dry.

I juss tried something new... I wrapped the bud inside a baggie..it was ziplock but the thin kind i assume... I stuffed it into my CFL. left it for an hour..came back and the whole bag was wet inside...so i dried it and did it again for 20 mins or so...bag was wet again...did it once more for maybe 10 mins...n it was PERRFECT...got me high and everything...no real bad taste...just a lil harsh on my throat. Lovely none the less.

cut with a fine scisor the bud into smaller pieces , seperate it into tiny litle nuggets from the branch to top ,try to have the least of branghes attached to the flowers , put them on a towel and in an oven that can heat max at 60-70celcius , leave there for 20 mins and every 10mins bring the towel out of oven to check and to let the cutted bud drop a bit of temp it may take from 30mins to an hour but for sure this way u got the best sample u can

dont just chopp the bud into smaller particles cause the flowers will bond and mesh up preventing humidity exhaustion

oven does work just keep the temp at 225 or less.. best way to quick dry, the taste is bad but the high wont be..

wrap your bud up in about 7 sheets of toilet paper (a joint or two worth of bud), nuke it for 20 seconds on HIGH, then nuke it again for 1 minute on power level 5 (medium).. Should be nice and crispy, still wont grind well, but with scissors it chops nicely and is good smoke in a joint.. Dont waste ur time with a bowl..

My Silver Surfer Vaporizer works great if you want to test out a fresh nug.

You take a little fresh bud and stuff it in the wand and start drawing through through the vape tube. The hot air from the vape element will quickly dry out the bud and it will start to sublimate the THC. The bud will not burn and the chlorophyll will not burn either. You just get smooth THC vapors.

Do you guys think premature but triched out bud would burn better in a homemade GB (gravity bong), a regular water pipe, or a regular spoon hand pipe would be the best method for this type of bud?

I realize the thread is mega old but I was thinking of just sampling a small lower popcorn bud from a plant that will be harvested around March 6th-ish. Going off memory I recall lightly shredding up part of a regular paper grocery bag (I realize those might be different outside the US) then put the bud you want to dry in the middle of the shreds and then put all that in a regular paper grocery bag and staple shut. Lightly fluff it around every 12 hours and should be dry within a few days if I recall...
