You wanna dry your bud slow, so the chloraphyll breaks down and you don't get that grassy smelling and tasting weed. I hang for a few days till the outside is somewhat dry but the inside is moist and spongy then I put them in paper bags (keeps higher humidity so it takes longer to dry) and air them out once a day (still on large branches) until the stem almost snaps then I put them in jars and open them once or twice a day, then once a week, and then I'll seal em.
phillykid420 Reviewed by phillykid420 on . DRYING bud with SILICA sand???? has anyone heard of silica sand? or has anyone used it? it is cheap and can get it at hardware stores for cheap and it is used to dry oil spills on pavement or lots of growers use them to dry their flowers so they can save the flowers as decoration. i was thinking if you put the buds in this silica sand, it may help the process of drying it and there would be no heat to dry it too fast that way. so not sure if this process would cause harsh smoke or not. i may have to try this method Rating: 5
