Best way to quick dry?

Now I know quick drying is not good and tastes horrible. But my plants have been drying for 2 days and im out of weed and would like to know the best and quickest way to dry a few lil nugs without destroying THC and having the least amount of "plant" taste.

wrap a bit in newspaper and put on radiator or on top of ballast overnight m8.

would a paper towel work?

Dont put something flamable on any of those surfaces.

Clip a few nugs off and put them anywhere there is heat with NO paper, on top of a water heater, top of your fridge, on top of the stove while you have something in the oven, the vents in your home, hell just hanging them infront of a fan on high would work. In a day they will dry enough to smoke well enough to get the job done.

I'd just wait a few days though, have a beer tonight instead, or maybe have your boyfriend strangle you while you jerk off, etc.

yes m8, i usually rest something on top to like a pair of scissors to slightly compress it .

Alligator clip or clothespin a couple little buds to the front of the fan, turn it on high. You could nuke it for like 5 second intervals until the weed gets a little warm, let it sit out for a bit, its nit gonna taste great but its the quickest way to dry out a couple tiny buds to catch one.

well in 20 years nothing has ever caught fire ! . on a HEATED surface its fine , NOT near a naked flame !

i dont know how buds of any good size can be dried within a day?....how small are the buds you want to smoke?

I've put popcorn nugs on the vent for my computer monitor, or on top of the cable box before, and it'll do a decent job.
Most anywhere, with a little heat and some good air flow will do fine.

man i should make a tutorial on how to micro bud so it comes out good. if you got patience you can do it in a microwave in about 15 min for for maybe what would become 2-3g dry.

start at 3 sec on (what you dont want to hear is crackling and you dont want the bud to get hot!) rmove bud allow several minutes to cool, i place mine in the freezer between bursts. then continue with 3 sec, till that seems to stop warming the bud then move to 5 secs 6secs 7 sec and so on the key is to allow several minutes between microwaving. the freezer helps to do 2 things, keep the bud cool(thus retaining flavor and smell) and sucks moisture out of the warm bud.

i should really make a tutorial cause i got that shit down to a science, i bet i could pass off some of micro bud for properly dried and cured, i dont of course, i think that properly dried and cured smells better, but taste and high, my micro bud can match up.

I said didnt say dry, I said " In a day they will dry enough to smoke well enough to get the job done." Still gonna be wet, but will burn nonetheless.

i'd smoke some fan leaves to tie me over if i was in that bad of shape (me, i'd have to be out for days). after months of work there's no way i'd mess with my crop until it is ready and cured.....

I have been fast drying bud for a while because I always pick the bottom buds(popcorn buds) through out flowering so must of the bud mass is at the ends of the branches and not the bottom, it seems to really fatten up the upper bud formations but, anyway, I've tried the microwave drying several different ways,i've set the toaster on low and wait for it to pop up and then sit bud on foil and sit the foil on top of the toaster, I've put bud in cardboard boxes and had a fan blowing on them, I've done the oven drying and many other methods. The microwave is the fastest method but, it always taste and smells bad IMO, The box and fan is the longest method taking a day or two but, you dont lose much taste or smell and the high is still there, my preferred method is drying in the oven. It takes about 40-120 mins and the bud taste and smells fine with no noticeable lose of THC. I put the oven on the lowest sitting, mine goes down to 170 degrees, I let it preheat and then turn off the oven, leaving the door closed. I cut the leaves off the bud and cut the bud into smaller pieces if they are larger buds, I put them on a paper towel on a oven safe plate and then put the plate in the oven, with the door closed, for 20 min intervals turning the bud every 20 mins and checking to see how dry they are. I like to get them pretty crisp and then carefully put them in a zip lock bag (leave some air in the bag so the bud doesnt get smashed) leave it in the bag for about 30-60 mins, this lets the moisture move from the center of the bud to the outside of the bud and evenly burn when you roll it. If the buds are two wet after pulling them out of the bag set them on a paper towel in open air until they dry to where u want them. If they are really damp after pulling them out put them back in the oven but for 5 min intervals because they will dry really quickly since the middle isnt as moist. It takes some practice to get it down but, over all it takes me 1-2 hrs and most people can't tell that it was quick dried at all. If you have more than you are going to smoke in a day, I put the bud in a bag or jar and burp it just like you would if your were curing it. Hope this helps. If you want more detail on the other methods let me know.

what he said, stick a few buds in the oven ^

^ yep oven , harsh as fuck but does the job , if its getting to hot wedge the door open with a butter knife or something

I stick it in a paper bag and put it on top of my water heater which sits exposed to sun. I make sure i have a long warmish/hot shower which then makes the top of the water heater really hot and dries the buds out well. With the sun helping as well. I have noticed i dont get as much "fresh mowed lawn" smell as i used too when i used the heater.

It sucks when you run out of weed, it's late on a sunday night so you can't buy anything anywhere and you have 3 plants a week or so away from harvesting..the temptation to just harvest early is to much.

trim it cut it up and take a little stem out and wrap it in paper towl and laying on top of a ballast. Check it after a few hours it should be dry it won't lost too much flavor that way either.

we used to take the lamp shade off and wrap a decent size piece of foil around the lamp just under the light bulb and set the buds on the foil. Takes about 2 hours and your smokin dry weed.. Yeah its gonna be kinda harsh but it works good. Make sure its not a fluoro bulb because its the heat from the regular incandescent light bulb that drys it out so fast.

I hate to say it but the microwave when your out really works. Get a small tupperware put a dry paper towel in the bottom put your couple little pieces of bud on it. Put a slightlu damp small piece of paper towel in with it. Cover the dish like 2/3's. Microwave on medium for short 10 second bursts until its dry and it will get rock hard dry quick. I always said id never use a microwave until christmas time last year i was waitin forever 4 a harvest and tried it...it works. to tell you the truth my tolerance was so low i hadnt been smokin and i got so fuckin high i mean the most ive ever tripped offa weed was from the microwave so go figure.
