Just curious if there is any good re-hydration techniques that work well without messing up the processed buds. I had about an extra pound a friend gave me from a harvest of his, but it has since dried out, and has become pretty brittle. Its nice dank, with huge buds, just falls apart easily. Is there anything I can do? Thanks.
Simple fix.
When you dry or cure weed, you're causing it to lose water from it's plant matter at a certain rate, depending on the method used.
When it gets too dry, all you have to do is replace some of the water.
You don't need fruit or peels that give it flavor and have other substances in it that may cause their own problems such as mold.
Just plain, pure, unadulterated WATER.
Fill a GALLON baggie with enough weed to LOOSELY fill it half way.
Take a paper towel and wet it with clean, fresh water. Then squeeze it as dry as you can. This should leave it slightly moist.
Open the paper towel back up and put it into your gallon bag of weed and close the bag. Put it in a nice cool, dark place for 24 hours.
24 hours later, take the bag out, open it, remove the paper towel and see if your weed is now at a moisture level that you like.
If it's still too dry, do the same thing for another 24 hours.
You should always open your bag and let it air for an hour each week. This will keep mold from happening. The weed should be loose, not packed into the baggie so that air can circulate around the weed.
Re-hydration is simple. Don't make a federal case out of it. It's not rocket science. You're simply replacing some water into the weed and letting it balance throughout the entire baggie of weed, slowly through the moist air.
Peace and good luck.
