Pile of curing weed

[BobCajun]

how have you come to learn all this Bob? is it your own original method?

As with most of my methodology, I developed it myself, based on what I could learn through research. BTW I noticed that at a department store you can get food dehydrators quite cheaply, under $100, and they have temperature adjustibility that seems to be in the right range, 95-160 F. I guess you would just keep the vents closed most of the way or put a tray of water in there with it or whatever. The temperature is right, you just need to maintain humidity. Probably be good to throw a towel over it to keep the temperature even and keep light out. If there's a fan you might need to disconnect it or reduce the speed. I should probably get one actually. A lot more compact than the plastic container. Apparently the one shown got bad reviews in Walmart so it's just for illustration. The plastic cracks apparently.

You can't get much bubble or dry sift from trim. It's not worth the trouble. I like hash that has the characteristics of Afghan or Indian hash. Seems less like "homemade".

I think the black stuff you get from trim and acetone is called tar, not hash. Might still be able to get high from it. You can cut the middle man and just huff the acetone, though.

How's your front tooth, Bob? The abscessed one that you claimed was due to the immune suppression caused by smoking pot? As I recall, you lanced the boil that grew on your front gum. That was a few months ago. I'm hoping you saw a dentist since then and got it treated. I don't expect you did though.

Science is a bitch when you treat it like a religion, Bob. Just saying.

Terpenes are toxic.

Still flares up when I smoke weed for several days. Too bad it's impossible to resist for very long. Seems to be improving though. Getting less puss than before. But you shouldn't knock the acetone black hash though. It's primo. Only me and Afghani people can get it.

Indeed they are, li'l senile fungus, indeed they are.

So I've read page 1 and 2. And 12- now.

I'm confused...troll?


Won't drying it out quick trap chlorophyll and cause bad taste?

I actually have a very similar dehydrator. reminds me of a time when I put a fresh bud in it trying to quick dry it for a smoke. I set the temp somewhere around 130/140 or so I think. I intentionally had it vented since the intention was to dry it rapidly.

it was the worst of all quick methods I've tried. the bud looked decent and didn't lose too much mass but it wasn't potent at all, got zero effect from it.

 

[a senile fungus]

My next harvest I'm at least going to try to duplicate the procedure and see what happens.

To put it lightly, I don't think the result will be the same quality as with the 6+ month cure method.

if you can and you're interested, set some aside and try the freeze dried method too.

i've been reading through this thread https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=186222

it spans several years with a number of people weighing in saying freeze drying is outstanding.

it could be a real nice thread, reporting on 3 types of cures and the results you got.

 

[ismann]

Well green buds have full starch content, unless the plants were left in darkness for at least 24 hours before chopping.

Another myth...

 

[tharoomman]

This guys gotta be trolling...does anyone want brown bud??

What confuses me even more is that people appear to be rationally talking to this op

Yeah it's a crazy idea, buds with no chlorophyll, curing buds the same way as tobacco, all completely insane. Everybody knows that chlorophyll is the mellowest part. That's why everybody smokes green tobacco.

I've tried freezer dried before, I had a bit of a mold problem when I thawed the bud out due to condensation developing on the inside of the freezer bag after I removed it from the freezer. I could always try again though, no worries.

My bud has a brownish tint to it, but for a different reason than OP's. Mine has been jarred for ten months now, and has been properly dried, cured, and aged in the jar. The smoke is amazing, even if brown.

BobCajun is saying his flue treatment produces the same end product, but without the long time process involved. This contention is where I find fault.

Even though he's a Google scientist I believe him to be capable of rational thought.

Bob, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here. You know that I'd like to troll the living shit out of you but that I'm being civil. You never posted those before and after weights, and maybe you could also show the ash of a burning joint? I also wish you could get it tested, to show molds and before/after THC #s. I think you're culturing mold, degrading THC, and offgassing terpenes. But that's just a guess.

It's a simple scientific fact that starch enzymes double their rate of action for every 10 C rise above room temperature, up to a point where it starts degrading at about 50 C. So by raising the temperature by 20 C you quadruple the rate of curing. What would take 3 weeks at room temperature takes only about 5 days with a heating pad. While some people may not have electricity yet, since I do I might as well use it to get a timely rate of curing. Others? Who cares what they do? Frankly I shouldn't even have posted about this. Fortunately, people are so stupid it doesn't even matter.

Like when you gave dabbing advice, having never dabbed? I believe you recommended a 6 minute dab at 130c? Lol. You were even conceited enough to call me anti-science when I told you that was stupid.

Dream much?

I dream enough. Were you dreaming when you started the thread on titanium nails decarbing better than glass? I remember you recommending people dab at temps below the vape pt.

Maybe, who knows and who cares?

(the abscessed tooth) Seems to be improving though. Getting less puss than before.

Getting less puss? When was the last time you were kissed by your sweetie? Do people back away when you talk due to bad breath?

Dude, abscessed teeth don't just get better. It is a low grade infection which goes a long way to explain why you complain of low energy. It's not the weed. Just not.

But you shouldn't knock the acetone black hash though. It's primo. Only me and Afghani people can get it.

Also, not -- just -- not -- going to make tar from trim using acetone. No reason for it. By the way, that acetone doesn't just go away when you boil or evaporate it off. They classify airborne acetone as air pollution.

Thoughtfully produced water - bubble hash is clean and consists of nearly perfect intact trichomes. For hash with terpene flavors, dry sift is good. Neither involves handling flammable solvent that contains who-knows what contaminants.

Even 5-9's purity acetone will pick up contamination from your gloves and containers unless you are being super careful. Which, I suppose you would claim you are.

Brown weed made in a warm, a humid cooler. (shudder)

Yuck to all of this. For your sake, I hope you are trolling. In which case, the laugh is on me and I'm already laughing. So its all good.
