can you cure your buds in the microwave or is that considered "the devils work"?

Devils work . . . you can carefully dry yourself a sample . . . a few seconds at a time with a minute between. Pops the glands.
NOT recommended, but any port in a storm, ya know.

Agree with nuking only for samples. Works fine for some small testing. I do 30% to 50% power a minute at a time till it feels a bit brittle or crunchy. My experience is that I lose flavor and potency with nuking. You'll just get a taste of what the potency and type of buzz will be like, but the well cured product will be fantastically more enjoyable. As I've posted on another thread, if you can wait a little longer you can use anairtight container and a strong dessicant like DriRite. You'll preserve your taste and potency and it'll pull the h20 out much quicker than the typical cure and it sure won't a bit of thc (unlike the microwave).

Exactly, just for samples. I start at the lowest setting and I work in increments of 7-8 seconds. Avoid steam/smoke/sparkles. Just get it warm and then give it 30 seconds or so to cool down.

I repeat short bursts of low power until it take take 12-14 seconds. Then I increase the power.

Just keep testing it for "snapability" and when it's dry it is done.

Proper curing takes a month. As far as I know buds CAN be force dried in a microwave - but curing is a different and slower process.
