Put it in microwave at 50% power for short burst of 15 seconds till dry enough to burn.

id say oven dry it, wrap in a paper towel/tissue/kitchen roll water ever you got stick the heat up 200c (around that mark) leave for 5mins check then another 5 check carry on does take about 20 odd mins.....


Ive tryed mirco wave a few times, didnt like this way, wack the mircowave on low,, reason being it zaps it dry and crisp so the slightlest touch and its crumbles like fuck (goes extremely brittle)

lowered the heat on next go turnt out better but not to my full likeing

also tryed hair dyer, takes a while and gets borring and dont realy rate this either ( out in a lunch box or sumthing with a lid open up slightly and let the hairdyer blow)

My prefered option is oven though, probably the longest but 20-30mins aint tooo long,

no m8 dont put it in front of the sun , it degrades what thc u have. best way is to find a heat spot either ontop of your monitor or pc sumwhere wrap ya buds in a paper bag and rest on top of the heat source. another quiker way is to cut up the buds into small pieces and dry that way, dries alot quicker. or use a heat mat / (same as any heat source) ,oven works ok but if u over do it u end up with crispy buds same wiv microwave. best iv found is to dry the buds slowley its worth the wait really, might take 8 hours but its worth it.

the best way to sun dry is to put it in a brown paper bag and then seal it. it will take all day but the tast will be worth it.

BETTER leave the rest of the flowers on the bush.
PEACE

If its one little bud and you want it quick, the microwave is the answer. If it want to dry it right hang it in the dark for a week.

no it absorbs the moisture which is then burned off by the warmth of the sun. the flavor is much diff than other types of drying.

u can also get a coffee warmer and make a cylinder out of paper, stand it up above the heat elementand suspend the bud with a paperclip. in a hour or two it will be dry

if your oven has a pilot stick it in there over night it should be good in the morning

stay away from micro waves these guys are numbskulls.:roll:

how do u properly dry it and then how long do u leave it in the jar??
Too long if you're already sampling a plant still in flower.
From the looks of those pics thats really young, no bulk at all. IMO not close to even looking tempting. Let her mature.
You'd do better leaving her alone and buying a bag so you're not tempted.

You let it hang in a dark area with good air movement. A fan is ok, just dont want it blowing directly on them. About 10-14 days, until the stem break cleanly with a snap. Then cut you nugs off and loosely put them in jars. Storing those in a dark area, opening the jars 1-2 times a day for a few minutes to air. 30 days or so, properly cured, smooth smoking bud.bongsmilieThe longer it is in the jars, the smoother it gets. To a point.
