you can try microwaving a few buds....
power level 30%.. put a dry paper towel in a bowl.. chop up a few buds... cover the top of the bowl with a moist paper towel.. hit it for like 30 seconds... take it out.. fan the bowl for a few seconds.. throw it back in 30% power for 1 minute.. repeat about 5-6 times (in my microwave anyway) and you should be able to smoke it. I've done it in a pinch, it's not great, but it works and although it won't be anything like the finished product.. you'll get high.

Any type of quik dry is gonna be nothing like a properly dried and cured product will be. If you're one of those with no patience, you're simply gonna burn up something that may be really good later on...but to each his own....personally, I NEVER smoke anything I've grown until at least 2-3 week cure is done....

ok thanks mate! only drying like a 3 gram nugget to test and i no it wont be nothing like my end product, like when i harvest them all in 2 weeks time they will get hung for 2 weeks then cured in air tight jars......does that sound about right oldreefer ? im a total newb so all information is good info too me!

fuck the microwave dont bother this it wat u do but a couple small bud in a sealy bag leave it a bit open and put it on top of your light 400 or 400 on the refector and cover it up so no light will get to it and leave it there few hours nice and crispy

Congrats on your first grow, +rep. Any pics of your plant(s) atm?

Your buds will get much better with a proper cure, for sure...but nothing wrong with a little testing along the way, lol, I do it all the time. :mrgreen:

Nice 1st grow, and a haze at that. Props man (in case you don't know, hazes are supposed to be harder to grow). Next time, buy a food dehydrator. It'll dry your bud out in a few hours. Still best to slow dry and cure everything.

Nice job for completing your first attempt, you qualify for round II!!!!! :)

FWIW- You generally lose 75% of your wet weight, which still isnt a good number because of the lumber. For me, there is no weight till it's cured and ready to go to the patients. By then, it's dry, all excess lumber has been removed, etc. True weight.

my .02- Even a test bud needs to go thru a proper dry as that's the point,...you are testing how you did,.....micro cure won't give you any clue on that.
