Hi guyz , Wonder if you have any "techniques" for drying buds fast ?
I need to harvest soon & i dont have a good magnifying glass to check trichomes so am going for sample testing .
There's a couple of different methods in order to "fast dry" your cannabis you can place it in a shoe box and place it somewere warm like top of your fridge or neat a heater in your home or even in a window if the sun is beaming on the box . You can also try putting them on a rack and having a fan blow through them this will help dry them out quicker . But to me your still 3-4 weeks out from harvest your plant has essentially just finished the stretch and now is going to focus on bud production . You may want to be patient in this because you will double or even triple your yield and your potency will be bang on if you harvest early it wont be as strong that's a 100 % guaranteed . I hope this information is usefull to you in knowing you have many options and that if your just a little more patient you're reward will be more epic ! -Happy Growing!
You can use your phone camera to get a fairly rough idea of trichromes, also if most of the pistils have changed color and start curling inwards that's a good sign too. Id say dry them with a very light fan blowing, but youll want to watch closely and jar them before theyre bone dry. Happy harvesting
Fast drying will affect the bud severly, but if you are in a pinch put it in a box and place it in a hot place, like the top part of your grow space where it's bound to be hot, like above the lights.
