    Default Has anyone tried curing wet bud in the freezer?

    I have a mate who is now putting his wet buds straight into the freezer to cure and he says that the taste, colour, form etc is excellent. He has a dedicated weed freezer now and just trims his buds from harvest and right into the freezer, not in containers or anything.

    Just wondered if anyone else has tried this method.

    Never tried this method. very intriguing. I would initially think the moisture has nowhere to go but stick around. perhaps I am very wrong. How long is cure time?

    Well it is a frost free freezer and he puts his buds on paper towel on the racks and ready after about 28 days.

    I googled about it and found that Ed Rosenthal, a well regarded cannabis person also recommends this method and that several private and commercial operators use this method.

    I'll give it a try with just a few buds when harvest time comes and find out for myself.

    Someone else said they found their buds rolling around the back of their freezer after 4 months and it was great.

    when I think about it, I can see it working by looking at my ice trays drying out the ice till none left after a while

    This has just melted what part of my brains that still worked! I am going to be keeping an eye on this as it sounds like madness but out of madness comes genius!

    What happens when they thaw out though? How much moisture is left in the bud? Is it really dry or consistent with curing normal ways? Interesting!

    well he said he picked a bud off the stem and that it only took a couple of minutes to thaw out and it thawed out dry then grind away but I haven't done this and just wondered if anyone else has.
