Hello friends, I have decided to make this plant that is edible. Should I continue the drying process for 8 to 10 days or put it in the oven immediately after harvesting? Thank you for the answer

Don't put it in the oven immediately. The taste of green grass is difficult to get rid off. There is no need to fully cure the harvest either. For edible, I recommend "water curing". Put plant in water for 7 days. Change water each day. Dry it a bit for a day or two. Then, put in oven not hotter than 250 C for maximum 1 hour. Chlorophyll is soluble in water so is carbohydrate. You will loose weight as plant matter get dissolve away. THC is soluble in oil so most of it would stay. Smell and terpenes get washed off. Only some terpenes can tolerate water and heat. So you get this very dark looking buds. Almost like tea leaves color that is very concentrated with little smell. I then use coffee grinder. You can take it like spice. Or you can infused it in butter or coconut oil. The danger is that people would not know that it is weed and overdose. For edible makes with water cured buds, use only 1/5th of what you normally smoke to get the same effect. Edible also comes on very slow but last very long. So wait an hour before taking more. Edible effect can last 8 to 12 hours. Good luck.
