Think I over dried my bud...

Well, Had to do a 5 am. Emergency harvest and get it outta the woods before the hunters found it. Really, really sucked. April 28-Oct 17... BUT it was time anyhow.

The big issue I am having is I think I over dried my bud. I build a bud dryer... IT was staying at 72-74 F all night and then somehow once I got back from work today it was at 92 F.. That in itself is really depressing.

Then I opened my box to find pretty crispy buds. I had almost an Lb wet off this plant and now it probably no more then a 1/4. All fried and crispy.

What can I do to try to get it back?

A wet paper towel in the jars?

It smokes fine, just a little harsh... too dry type.

Thks...

I heard orange and lemon peels in a airtight jar works.

I will try that

I read slices of bread and it will pull the moisture out of the bread. I also read moist paper towel not touching the weed will put moisture back. The last post I have also read here and there. It depends on if you want a possible "taste" absorbed into your stuff.

Also heard both of the orange peel, and wet paper towel tricks, or a 3rd-add some "wet" weed into the mix and shake and burp as usual during cure to add moisture back in.

put it in bags tye them up will sweat back up

Well from the time I read the first post and put a moist paper towel in, put it in my jars and sealed them, placed em in my safe and smoked a bowl of the dry shit... It has already made most of the buds come back soft... I only have a total of 81 grams though... Not too bad for my first total grow but I wish it was more. Good thing is there are NO seeds!

I like the idea of using orange peels, lemon, and apples to cure. I cut 2 slices of each and put one in each jar. I took the paper towels out. Should I leave the peels in there a lil longer (hr of so) and then crack them for an hr. or so? and repeat till I get a satisfactory water content?

o and I have a shit load of leaves to make hash with. Anyone have a recommended tutorial to go to or way of doing this?

Got an entire cooler full of it.

u can also use a carrot doesnt leave really any smell or taste and gets the buds real sticky... i learned that from a few rasta friends they keep a carrot piece in there lbs

Absolute best is using a fan leaf or two off a mother plant. A moistened sponge glued (glue it when dry then moisten it) to the top of a mason jar works too, just do not let it come in contact with your material.
Peace

alright... cool guys, thanks for the help.

that sponge idea i liked i never thought of that... great idea
