stephenc Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I've left 3 Afghan Pearl plants drying in the dark for around 4 months in a spare room. I actually forgot about them. Will they still be viable to either decarb or simply to flake and store in a sealed jar? They look a bit shrivelled now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Should Know Betterer Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Try a bit. If it's no good to vape/smoke then use it for extracts, there's a multitude of ways to use it apart from smoking it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the punter Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 My jars are empty, still 3 weeks away from chopping the ones I'v got in flower.I'd be delighted to even find a stray bud right now. Not sure if it would work but maybe putting it in a plastic bag with a bit of orange peel might put some moisture back in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Do you have any idea roughly what was the approximate temp and RH of the spare room? They might be great. Stick up a photo Atb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to upload images all afternoon and even though I have them down to only 600kb each and in jpeg form I keep getting error and they won't upload (sorry) Edited December 29, 2022 by stephenc Adding images 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I'm curious as to how one simply forgets they have three unfiltered plants hanging in their house? Do/did they not kick up at least a bit of stink? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do/did they not kick up at least a bit of stink? I cut them a few days before being away for a month. They're in a room rarely used. The thing is, I may want to use them in a decarboxalated form by suppository in the future for a blood cancer, hence the reason I really need to know whether they're viable or not? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Since they were kept in the dark the cannabinoids and a lot of the terpenes should still be effective. Good luck with the treatment (whoever it's for) Atb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I was lucky in this my second or third cannabis grow that I didn't run into any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashamedly, I have to admit they're still hanging in the same place but I feel more confident now after the advice here that it will be worth decarboxilating them rather than binning them.

Shumroom Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Get them in a jar or grove bag now that you remember about them This will make sure that they don't deteriorate any further. Atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
