Super quick way of drying?

So I harvested my plants today and while I was trimming I accidently cut off a small bud. Just wondering if anyone knew of a method to dry super quick so I can enjoy this little guy :bigjoint:

what did you grow it under. i took a trimming of mine and put it on top of my 150w ad flipped it every now and then and it dryed in 24 hours. i would say put it under the light you used to grow it maybe? but light degrades thc so thats your choice.

"super quick drying" and "enjoy" well that's kind of a paradox my friend ;)

I'd just chuck it in a drawer soewhere, wait the week, and smoke it when it's actually going to be enjoyable. I found that even just cutting the ~7 day drying period in half to 3 days turned my buds a bit shitty.
 
put it right next to a fan so it has air blowing on it. I don't know how good it will taste but it will dry fast for sure.

I grew it with CFLs so I don't think those will dry it too well. Right now I have it sitting on top of a coffee maker in the shade. I've heard of people using an oven and microwave will that work?

i've used an oven before, stuck it on as low a temperature as it would do, chopped the bud up with scissors into small bits and pieces and then dried over the course of an hour. If i have more time to spare, then it would do well sitting in a bag in the attic for a day or two

get a small plate or bowl and set it on top of an ac adapter with the piece inside, check it every hour turning it, could take a day or 2 or maybe 3, taste is "not bad"

if there is sunlight, set up a magnifying glass to point at the bud, directing the sunlight into it, make sure the circle of light from the magnifying glass is rather large so it just heats it up and doesn't burn it, this could take all day or maybe 2 days and will taste "not bad" imho

set your oven to 200 degrees, place it in there on a plate or something, check it every 10 minutes turning it, this will taste "crappy"

i wouldn't set the oven over 150, after that thc degrades quickly. but i have heard of the oven trick working if you keep a constant eye on it...oh and prepare for the whole house to smell like your bud if it doesn't already :p good luck! let us know how it turns out.

im upset to see you cut this early..... in your other thread you mentions waiting..... any pics?
Let me see if I can get some pics but I had to harvest I didn't have much of a choice. Checked the trichs before I did and they showed smoky and some amber so its not as bad it would have been. I really wish I could of waited but when your out of time your out of time:-|

I found it gud to use a cardbourd box to put the cutting in or budings ,, and put it in a warm garage like mine with a fan, mine dried in 4 days, or a food dyhadrator, just dont over doit,,, good things come to those who wait,,,,,fuckit burn the bitch
