there is no way wat so ever to increase potency after cropping
microwaving will dry the bud out yes
but
it will also heat up and evapourate the crystals
much like a vapouriser but ur not enjoying the good stuff

No, the idea behind it is to heat it under the vaporization point. That's where the decarboxylation occurs.Quote:

Well... if you have some well-cured high-quality bud, then it may seem the best option for you, cause the chances of increasing the potency in this case are not great.Quote:

some people microwave there bud to sample some smoke off there plants, I believe they call it "popcorn bud" i have a friend that swears by putting some honey on a joint or blunt and microwaving it for like 30 seconds they say it tastes great... but never heard anything on it helping potency.
well damn im not a scientist im just a pot headQuote:

when i dry my bud in the microwave (test smoke only, or if im desperate =p) i figure its vaporising some of the trichs and in the steam there is more than just water vapor so i open the mic and inhale the steam? never got high from it though... so maybe it doesnt damage the trichs...
The microwave will be heating the pot at a temperature below that which it takes to vaporize the THC.Quote:

Microwaving is used for schwag and mid grade weed that you want to make more potent. I also have used it when I had really sticky shit that just wouldnt take a flame at all, since it does dry out the weed some.
I just Microwaved some Afgani Kush for 2 minutes, and im definatly more high then usual from it.
Maybe we should request this get stickied.Quote:

This has intrigued me.
I must try it one day.
Ill get a little bit and do it and if it does nothing i havent lost anything.
I will go down to woolies and get one of those microwave tubs just so i dont stink out the kitchen. :)
i put finished joints or blunts in the microwave for a quick drying process
so I tried microwaving for 30 seconds and the weed didn't really look any different. I smoked it and it seems like I got a little bit higher off it than normal so I'm guessing this does work. But in order to get it to work better, i'm thinking of trying the oven method. Anyone think this would work better than a microwave?
Probably yes... but you could also microwave your weed for a longer time, like 1-2 minutes...
Im gonna try a couple of different methods once i get another bag.
k im trying this all day i just tried 20 secconds for 1 joint worth give or take and am more stoned than usual, going to try about 45 secconds now if 2 much 30... ill give reports we just got a new microwave haha... wow when i finished i feal a good ! sativia buz hitting my face hard and indica undertones in my arms :D nice, 45 secconds will be sick. and i see the differnce in taste and see that the thc actually goos up cool :D
i also added i cant belive it's not budder lol just a pinch for gd luck, im baked good job on this method i like it im baked fuck nice :hippy:
last weekend i smoked some bud that was dried out in a restaurant oven and i was high as hell. ive never tried a microwave though
i have experimented this a little since i read about it on another thread. There is definitely a noticeable difference in the high. I dont get the munchies as bad when i microwave it, but i really dont like munchin out too bad because i never end up eating anything good and i just get fat. As for the time in the microwave, i tried 30 seconds at high power and it seemed to only half ass the job, i think that 1 minute or more is probably the best bet. But, ya if u haven't tried this, you should. Also, as a side note, it dries up the weed nicely which makes it easy to crumble up, so good for joints or blunt. Stay high friends:thumbsup:
