Not so dry Nug

[rustee305]

so i got some nice fruity nugs in today but unfortunatley there still alittle fresh. What is the best way to dry them out alittle more?

Well, you can continue to cure them, which will take the longest, but produce the best result. To do that, hang them upside down and have an oscilating fan blowing air around the weed (not directly at the weed, like under or above it) to keep fresh air moving around.

If you are less patient, you can just get a hairdryer and use the low setting to dry it out, or keep a fan blowing on the bud till it's sufficiently dry.

I'd stick em either in a jar or a paper bag depending on how much time you have.

First thing first, don't buy wet buds.
Here's a few reasons why:
You run the risk of mold, it will lose weight, and the cure brings out all the flavor and to some extent potency.

Sometimes beggars can't be choosers.

Go with teh paper bag then into jars. Will work fine.

A better question is if he doesn't know how to dry weed, does he know how to make it more wet!

But in all seriousness, he probably wanted to know the best way to maintain the quality of bud, or improve it, through curing/drying.

Actually valluco drying weed is an idiots task...however dphil hit the nail on the head. I obviously want to preserve the quality without having some brittle overly dry nug.

Just try not to rush it and make sure you keep an eye on it so as to know when it is just right.

i just ran into the same problem with an eighth of some homegrown that has a lot of potential but is just not done curing. the buds r loose and kinda wet. Should i stick them strait into a jar..or is it better to leave it in a bag first?

(ps and idk how to dry weed correctly without ruining it cuz im used to buyin dank that is already cured perfectly)

I'd jar it up and burp/stir it up a few times a day.

Slow dry it until the stems actually break when bent and you'll be good.
