24 hr Quick Dry Method - Cannabis Harvesting & Processing - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

First, I would like to say that properly cured herb does take time and I would recommend the Drying and Jaring Method as discussed in one of the previous threads by NatetheGreat, but for those of us who are impatient or just need alittle extra smoke, this method is simple and takes alot of the harshness out of the smoke when dried this way.

All you need is a cheap floor fan or any household fan with a low setting, some cheesecloth, tape and twist ties.

Step 1 cut the cloth into two square pieces big enough to hold your buds.

Step 2 Lay one piece of cloth flat and place your buds on the cloth. Spread them out alittle so they aren't crowed.

Step 3 Place the second piece of cloth over the buds and use the tape to seal the edges. If you have the time, you can also make two simple frames, attach the cloth and put the frames together.

Step 4 Make holes at the corners and use the twist ties to secure the cloth to the front fan .

Step 5 Turn the fan on a low setting and you will have dried buds in about 24 hrs with out all the harshness associated with other quick dry methods.

This method is also great for people who want to check their buds for potency and taste before they harvest!

Provided it has a thermostat setting of 95 ish (any higher and you risk loosing potency. Takes about 7-8 hrs and will do about a half pound. Great investment for the impatient and those that like to water cure. American Harvest is agood brand. Try ebay

PS Nothing I've found compares to a good jar cure

I need to dry some testers....just went and looked for some cheese cloth....didn't have any....thinkin..thinkin...hey! I have some panty hose laying around that I use for making organic teas...I think that will work just as good, maybe better, it isn't all sticky.

i just don't understand the need for something that you have 3-4 months invested in, to have to be dry in one day.

i am spoiled on cured weed...lol

I'm with chicken......patience is a virtue.

Just buy one more bag of regs to last that couple weeks.

my mate was playing around with an air conditioner and using the dehumid function [?] getting weed dry in 24h with a shamefully close to normal taste and smokeability.

I agree, that's the most important part!
