Overdried bud? No problem!
Drying cannabis is a crucial step in the post-harvest process, but it’s easy to go too far especially if you’re busy or have to leave town for a few days. If your flower is feeling crispy and dry, don’t worry. There’s a simple method to rehydrate them without sacrificing quality.
Enter the Droidcure and Cellulose Sponges
Using a device like the Droidcure, you can effectively rehydrate overdried buds. Here’s how:
- Prepare the Sponges: Wet cellulose sponges with reverse osmosis (RO) or distilled water to avoid microbial growth and salt buildup. Make sure to wring them out thoroughly. You may even want to cut the sponge in half, so it creates less moisture in your curing chamber and rehydrates them more slowly.
- Set the Droidcure: Place the overdried flower in the Droidcure and insert the wet sponges in the back of the chamber, not touching your flower. Set the humidity to 64% for two days.
- Adjust Humidity: After two days, remove the sponges and lower the humidity to 62%. This will help the buds reabsorb moisture without becoming overly damp.
- Finish the Cure: Finish your cure to your desired relative humidity. You can leave them at 62%, or cure them to a slightly lower humidity like 59%.
By following these steps and using the Droidcure, you can effectively rehydrate overdried cannabis and enjoy a high-quality product. Remember, a little experimentation can go a long way in perfecting your growing and curing process.
We encourage home growers to share their experiences with this method. Your feedback can help others learn and improve their curing techniques!
