why did you need to take a test bud? (im desperate for a joint bud) you can see with them on the plant if they are ready or not, besides it wont taste as nice as a bud that is picked at the right time, and dried correctly

2 reasons 1 I have no bud and can't get any more for a couple of weed and coz I have 4 clones of this plants ready to flower so I want to no when I prefer to chop them they are at 8 weeks and I might leave a couple to go to 10

Make extra sure it doesn't go mouldy in the box, lest it spreads to you main crop

I've done it for the exact same reasons...
Out of smoke and couldn't resist that taster bud, and a bud at 8, 9, and 10 weeks to see which i preferred.
It's only one or 2 buds each time so i've not ever had any mould... i also have used a small primark bag,
, ideal ...

Hey Jonny5,
I used to just pop a bud in the microwave to test them but I found this somewhere when I first got back online and it's the best quick dry procedure I've ever used.

Dankmaster's Microwave Steam Method
A vast improvement in quick dry technology. It does a satisfactory job fairly quickly. Trichomes don’t burst and flavor while not great isn’t awful anymore -- which is all I can say for any of the previously mentioned methods. What the method does is use steam to dry out the weed.
Necessary items
*Tupperware container with lid.
*Buds fresh off the plant (cut into small pieces, don’t shred them – cut into nice little chunks).
*3-paper towels.
*Microwave with power setting options.
*Water.
First, take 1/4 piece of a paper towel and lay it on the bottom of the Tupperware container. Then put your cut up weed on the paper towel. Next, take two paper towels, fold them several times and get them wet. Wring out most of the water. You want the paper towels wet but not dripping. Now, you lay the paper towels over the top of the Tupperware making sure that you completely and evenly cover the top. Then take the lid and squeeze it almost all the way on. When I say almost I mean to get all sides and corners on tight except for one corner to allow the steam to exit. Now your ready to put your steam dryer in the microwave.
Set the microwave power to 40 or 50 %. I recommend 40% -- I tried it on full power the first few times and it didn’t work nearly as well. Now set it for a minute and let it go. Take it out and let the steam evaporate out and let sit for 15-20 seconds. If the bottom paper towel (the one that the buds are on) is wet change it. If the two paper towels you were using are dry make sure to re-wet and wring out and put back over top and put lid on in same way.
Now microwave at 40-50% for another minute and repeat process for typically 3-5 minutes. This is the best method if you need the herb in less than 20 minutes.

mindset. i think 3 days more dry is better than 3 days more flowering, so if you had taken the bud earlier, just pretend you did, dry it in the open in the tent or somewhere thats a little warm.

I've been smoking some little bits of LA Confidential that I put in the airing cupboard for a couple of nights and the taste isn't bad at all. I have had some quick dried bud before that tasted awful though.
