How to on quick drying in less than 15 minutes.

[rob333]

Hey RIU. I'm sick of hearing people telling others that they are losing something by quick drying there buds or specifically that using a microwave is wrong and possibly fatal to your trichomes. I am here to say otherwise.

Some of us grow to supplement our medicine instead of having to pay for it all the time. Sometimes we are stuck waiting for something to finish and not wanting to pay out of pocket for something. I feel your pain.

I have been using the microwave to quick dry my buds for over a year now and have some tips for you guys trying to get an early sample.

- Have a few GLASS or CERAMIC plates ready and some tissue or paper towels several ply thick to cover your buds. You'll be transferring your buds form one plate to another and if your plate starts to feel too hot this gives you the option to quickly swap out plates.

- Place buds on plate after severing from and removing the majority of stems

- Cover with TP or PT.

- Set cook time to 2-3 minutes

- Each time you place the plate of buds into the microwave cover with the pt or tp

- You'll only be cooking for 4-8 seconds at a time.

- After each 4-8 second interval remove buds from microwave and place on another plate

- Wipe off water that appears on the micro waved plate (under the buds)

- Place buds back on the now dry plate and repeat the process.

Do this again and again until you see little to no water under the buds at the end of an interval.

For me this usually takes about 10-15 minutes for a few grams of DRY bud.

This method strips most of the unique flavor of the bud away but leaves potency.

Using less time per interval is going to save you some flavor but take a few minutes longer to finish.

Using more time (8 seconds max I advise) is faster but a lot of flavor is stripped.

DO NOT cook longer than 10 seconds at a time or you WILL burst your trichome heads and lose potency and always remember to cover your buds.

Don't do ten second cooks. Many microwaves vary so it is better to use less cook time such as 4-8 seconds.

What you are doing is essentially using the microwaves to pull water out of the center of the bud.

Good Luck folks.

Yep, i know trics are fragile and I know burying them in rice is more rough on them than it needs to be. I can combine this knowledge with my experience using rice to dry out my cell phone to design a better solution to drying weed with rice, and I don't even have to test it to be 100% certain it's a better idea then burying the weed in rice. If you can't see that I would call you an ignorant fool with a mental handicap.

I would rather be a smart ass (pun intended) than have to ride the short buss.

Why would you tell someone to try something that you would never attempt yourself? That's irresponsible. But, I see you are still upset about making yourself look like a complete idiot the other day, so I understand the hostility.

A better version of a stupid idea is still better. I just try to be helpful, not a troll. I myself if I want to try a bud during harvest just put it on top of a light, within 2-3 hours it's dry enough to try, but I only do that with 1 bud per harvest since I prefer cured bud like most.

Edit: just for the hell of it.

But, it's still a stupid idea. And, you are trying convince people to try the stupid idea for themselves. That is not helpful. You must be trolling.

I'm not trying to convince anyone except the guy burying weed in rice. Actually using rice to speed dry a small quantity to try right after harvest wouldn't be a bad method by the way I referred, I may actually use it on the next harvest, probably a better method than my top of the light method (idea taken from a local 70's stoner.)

The microwave thing I can't get behind at all, rice sure, but save the other 99% to be cured correctly.

Edit: just to screw with you now
Edit: again
Edit: will be back one or two more times before bed just to add here, lol

I still thinks it's hilarious that you grow in a garbage can.

I can see you've learned a lot from the 3 months that you have been here. No real first hand experience to speak of, but that's why this is so entertaining. You get so frustrated, and desperate. It's adorable.

Soon, not yet, but I think that is sort of funny myself, can't wait to see it.

Edit: lol, I need something to hold the led strips on the walls better, the adhesive on them sucks and it keeps pealing off, I'm trying to avoid epoxy/superglue.

Edit 2: Hey Senile Fungus, have anything in the can at the moment?

You take whatever wacky interpritation you wish of the world. I'm enjoying our little troll kiddy attack game. It's when we detract from something useful that it gets annoying, nothing really useful in this thread, so lets continue, lol. UVB thread you were fucking around in the wrong place, microwave weed drying, definitely the right place to fuck around.

Wow... just wow

not shy about trolling at all, got to say I like that you accept it at least. People who pretend they aren't trolling when everyone can see it clearly, that is where you have to worry about their mental health.

Make up your mind you blathering know nothing know it all.

I'm curious to see what you edit into that post I liked? Right now it give exactly the depiction of you that I'm looking for.

Edit: I'm off to bed, so you have the opptunity for whatever shinaigans you wish for the next 8 or so hours, good night and I wish you dreams of BUD ROT, lol

I love these kind of threads! Question to the OP, how is your drying method science? You didnt even give us the wattage of the microwave. Also my cat is all wet, I am going to dry it in the microwave, even though it kind of destroys all the unique kitty flavor.

 

[Grandpapy]

I wish my glue would dry already!

Dammit glue!

Be careful if vac/seal. lol

Really? Ha! I'm a straight A college student so you can say what you want but it just won't be logical given the actual data and not just the opinion of some forum junkies.
I like to inform the misinformed so I'll leave you with this:
Most people are walking around with bad information; this is fact. As such, you will often find a bunch of idiots grouping together over a common idea more then you will find a bunch of intelligent people who agree on something grouping together. Particularly in online forums full of people who literally have nothing else going on in their lives but to rack up post counts and feed their egos and addictions. You can't beat logic or you just sound like a fool and if you can't understand the science behind something then you shouldn't speak less you make yourself look like a bigger fool. Anyways, needledick and friends, (I know, I resorted to callous name calling but it was so clever how could I resist?) you guys have a great day. Btw, addicts suffer from various pathology including, "an inability to interact in a meaningful way with their peers and engaging in impulsive behavior." Such is the case when a person replies to a forum post with an insult instead of maintaining a mature dialogue. Then again, why am I wasting my time with people who simply, failed to develop intellectually. Perhaps, I am the bigger fool. Wait, no. It's definitely you guys. Pax

stop smoking crack man it's really bad for you
