Duke... if you boil your buds in water and butter you will simply remove the THC from the buds. The THC will attach to the oil in the butter and the resulting buds will be next to worthless. This is how I make canni-butter to use in brownies and such, but certainly not how I would dry a bud that I wished to smoke later.

As mentioned above, nothing beats a slow drying process... the slower the better. You can hurry up the process in various ways... A microwave on defrost... a convection oven set to 250deg... your imagination is the limit here.

The faster you dry the buds however, the more there is going to be of the non-active THC (reducing the quality that could be achieved with a proper dry and cure) and there is also more chlorophyll in the leaves. (making your smoke much harsher and "green" tasting) Slow drying helps preserve the good stuff and gets rid of the bad stuff... and curing at 60-65% humidity for at least a week removes much more. Product that I have left in the 60-65% RH range for over a month becomes very powerful and very smooth... well worth the wait and the effort.

Growing this stuff is just half of the project. Learning to cure out your product properly is the just as important second step to producing good quality product. Try it one time and you will be convinced. I was.
emilya Reviewed by emilya on . DOUBLEBOILING HARVEST TO DRY, KEEPING TCH IN TACT? I have been researching drying buds from many sites and came across microwave, oven, toaster ,envolope in the sun, or wind in the dark techniques to dry buds the microwave i assume destroys my buds thc content along with the oven and aluminum foil on top of toaster methods. The wind in the dark or curing it in the dark work well but are time consuming. With the theory that if you double boil the leaves of the harvest with butter the thc does not reach the temperature to neither vaporize or Rating: 5
