I'm going to go hit the buds with the hair dryer for a while, and then hang them upside down in a cardboard box in a particularly dry/hot building.

The buds smell like vegetables though, as apposed to skunky weed. Is that just cause they are still damp?

I tried to dry out a small nug last night, but didn't completely dry it. When stuffed in the bong it only gave off like 1/2 as much smoke as it should. The smoke did taste/smell like weed though, but the effect was minimal (slight slight head rush from 2 medium sized rips). Does this mean the flood waters hurt the trichomes or somehow damaged the plant so it is un-smokable?

It's been quite the turn of events! :rastasmoke:

THC isnt totally pyschoactive until it is completely dry. Wet buds wont get you as high.


The "hay" taste and smell could be one of two things.

1. you picked too early and didnt let the bud gain is full tastes,smells, and potency.

2. The bud is only semi dry and hasnt been cured yet. Bud gains most of its taste and smell during the curing process. 2 weeks is usally good enough, but the longer the cure the smoother the smoke. I refuse to even sell my bud without 2 weeks cure. Anything less than that and your cheating yourself.
