I have a light with a 40 watt bulb with a bendy neck so I just place the bud under the bulb lit up and it dries it..I turn it a few times when its big like this one..takes 1-6 hours depending on the bud...works great and doesnt degrade the plant.

thanks chef! I still have half of it going to see before I chop the rest... I would def grow her again would be great for outside because the odor isnt too strong.

 

[warfish]

[2Dog]

How does it not degrade the plant??

I always thought once chopped light is your enemy??? Am i wrong??

 

[2Dog]

it is a very short time..maybe it does degrade it a bit but it doesnt burn off the thc like the oven or micro does..I have tried it all lol...I like the light best...the small airy nugs take only about 30 minutes then pop into a jar. I figure most buds get more likght just being trimmed.

JAAM is right 2dog-

From Clarke's "Marijuana Botany"

However, light and heat also destroy THC. In a drug strain, a bio-synthetic rate must be maintained such that substantially more THC is produced than is broken down

You cheating yourself by using a light to dry your samples.

 

[2Dog]

I want a quick smoke boys.... this works great.

 

[420benny]

How about a compromise? Wrap loosely in a single layer of brown paper =less light gets to the buds and the paper helps move moisture.

 

[2Dog]

it is not a big deal only about .5% of my bud gets dried this way..which is conventient for me. the rest is hung and dried in a dark area...

 

[420benny]

I get it. You have patience, but not enough when you just have to sample the goods. lmao. I do feel better now. There is no reason to rush the drying and curing after growing it right.
