    Hi guys.
    I just bought what seems to be very high quality bud, however it's very green and fresh looking, and it's not dry yet. In its current state you couldn't smoke it.
    So I was just wondering what I should do now, should I just leave it on my desk or should I put it somewhere warm/dry.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Edit: they are 2 nugs, 4g

    Hefty nugs brer. Personally I would put it in a paper bag for a day then a mason jar for a day. I'd do that for 5 days at least. It'd be worth it.

    just leave it out till it feels a little crisp on the outside of the buds..then re-jar it..check it about an hour later and see if it's gotten squishy again...if so then it still had some moisture inside the bud and should be set back out to dry for a while. I do a few hours at a time...then re-jar, rinse and repeat.

    put it in a brown paper bag with news paper in it and put that in the back of your closet for like 2-3days, opening it up and leaving the bud outta the bag for like 30mins each day. once the buds are dry put them in a mason jar for like a week, opening the jar for like 15mins a day. in like 10 days you will have nice ass buds as long as it is high quality grown and you follow these steps. if you wanna smoke it now just steam dry it with the microwave, but only do that with what you are going to smoke as it isnt the best way to dry it out. hope this helps

    Edit: to figure out how to steam dry w/ the microwave just look it up on google haha sorry im too lazy to explain right now

    Wow, kind of sad it takes to long :(
    Will the quality suffer much if I dry it faster?

    No it wont. actually the quality and potency might increase. Just put it in a paper bag for 1-3 days, its up to you to decide

    itll dry faster if you break ya weed off the stalk and into smaller pieces.

    chucking it in the oven etc ruins the taste imo.

    if it lights just smoke it, if not, paper bag idea sounds about right

    I like my bud rather crispy, so I always leave mine out in a shallow, wide-mouthed container, so that I can break my bud into a nice light powder.

    That said, yeah, leave it in a paper bag somewhere cool and dry, with lotsa air circulation (your closet with a fan blowing into it), for a day or so, and it should be dry enough to smoke.

    It'll still smell real green, but you can't remedy that quickly no matter how much you may want to.

    Hmm thanks guys.
    Yeah I was kind of concerned that the weight would drop.
    But it was actually a friend who bought the stuff I was just asking in his place, I'll have to tell him that the next time he should get it cheaper.
    It weighs exactly 4g now, will see what happens after a few days, I'll tell him to stick it in a brown paper bag.

    I lived in florida for a while and we used to keep rice in our salt shakers to absorb moisture. Maybe something similar could help you?
