How to dry wet weed: METHODS
Now that you're determined to revive your damp weed, let's explore various methods that will help you achieve the desired results. Here are some tried-and-true techniques to dry wet weed:
- Air drying.
This is a popular method for drying weed, and it requires minimal effort. To begin, take a paper towel and carefully spread your wet weed on it. Find a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to facilitate the drying process. Flipping the weed every couple of hours is crucial. Be patient, as it may take several days or even weeks for your weed to be completely dry. Air drying is known for preserving the quality and flavor of your flowers, making it a beneficial option despite the longer drying time.

- A dehumidifier can help.
Did you know that a dehumidifier can be your ally in drying wet weed? It's an unexpected yet effective solution. Place your wet weed in a container with holes and position it in the same room as the dehumidifier. The dry air produced by the device will help remove the moisture from the weed, expediting the drying process.

If you're looking for a quicker option and don't want to wait for the air to do its thing, using your oven can be a viable solution. This method involves using heat to accelerate the drying process. Begin by using a tray lined with baking paper to evenly spread your cannabis. Preheat the oven to 150 or 200°F and bake the weed for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning or excessive dryness.
