thanks mate. i'm pleased some body explained something to me!You can quick dry but it will effect the taste and it will be more harsh. It won't have as much of a negative effect as quick drying buds because there is less plant material involved. Also the process you are talking about doesn't sound like hash to me, technically it seems like you will be making kief. Good luck, whatever you decide.
what do u do? just shake newly chopped buds on a silk screen?!you dont need to chop up or grind...
