Drying process

First of all, if it just budded then it's not even worth smoking. Second, why don't you just be patient and do it properly? After a proper drying and curing, the bud will smoke much better than rushing through the whole process.

 

the getto way is to throw them in the oven.but you lose some of it potency.

 

Tell your friend that if he cuts anything off the plant before it's properly finished, he's a damn fool. And even once it's gone the whole way, it's still gonna be at least two weeks before you want to be smoking it.

Improper drying and curing means you lose maybe 30% of the potency, and the high doesn't last nearly so long. Anyone who recommends quick dry & smoke, has probably never tasted properly cured weed. Pity.

Chopping when it's "just budded", you lose maybe 95% of the potency. In other words, don't do it.

Or did you mean, "just harvested some bud"?

-mu went a little overboard here.

I think it's safe to assume since his friend is sharing his harvest he had the knowledge of when to chop the plant.

You should bounce over the the growing section and read some of the stickies like this one
