GMSgrowsanswered grow question 3 years ago Trim bud wet and hang to dry. When it feels dry enough to smoke but it wont smoke properly I get a cooler or a box and throw all the bud in together, and shut the lid for about half and hour, give or take a few. The weed will rehydrate, but it is important you dont leave the lid shut longer than it takes to rehydrate the bud. Once it is rehydrated, then you open the lid up and let the top start to dry. Then move the bottom to the top and let that start to dry. Repeat this until your bud is dry enough to smoke, then jar and burp when you feel the bud is or if its starting to rehydrate again. This method is called sweating. A lot of big grows dry this way, and it's the best way for my large harvests. Smoke tastes and smells great after this., but like I say, it's important you get the box or cooler open as soon as it rehydrates. If you leave to long it will take on a hay smell....
