Help Drying My Bud

Hi All

I am drying my Blueberry (harvested 5-10) and Cali Orange (harvested 5-12) harvest at the moment. I want to know is it safe to turn a small radiator in the dry room on for maybe 5-10 min every hour or so to help my Blueberry along? I am drying my Cali in a different area.

I am not in a hurry to dry them but It just seems they are not drying at all.

Any help welcome!

I've never tried using a radiator. But the denser the buds, the longer they will take to dry. That could be the cause of the slow drying. Whats your humidity like?

It seems fine. I am drying my BB in an old fridge and my Cali in my grow room. The fridge door is never fully closed.

I read that turning a fan dries them a bit quicker, so I have been doing this for maybe an hour a day on my Cali.

Here is a pic of the rad I want to use.

Thanks All

DONT microwave it 420' Take a few hours and dry it slowly in an oven. Also, cut the bud up into small pieces with a scissors it will dry quicker.
Just put the oven on full power for a min then turn it off b4 you put the cut up bud in.

Thats what i do. Will post a pic when my battries charge!

Hope That Helped!!

your better letting it dry in a dark room with a demiderfier then after a week cut the bud from the stem and leave for a week more in a dark room again if your going to use a heater put it on a low heat

Dont know about hair dryer but the oven really works. I find you can control the drying process better.

Big C, you are better off drying the air the buds are in without adding heat. Get some Damp Rid at Home Depot, Ace, etc. it will absorb moisture from the air. A light fan is good for air circulation around the buds. All that and time will do the trick.

There is no good "quick drying" methods only some that doesn't ruin your bud. That said a fan blowing on your buds is the best way of drying them faster, however, you will find that you will need to be extra vigilant while curing as any but the good ol'fashion slow drying, will tend to leave the inner bud moist while the outer appear dry to the point of crumblyness. A way to avoid mold is to break your buds up prior to curing i.e. into budlets.

Yes, your dry room should be dark.
