Moistening Bud (w/ what?...pineapple work?)

Moksha here

bought some super duper great headie, mmm

But there's a problem

it's super duper dry...

I want to moisten it up a bit...tonight...so I did some research...Get some tupperware and put your bud closed in there with a a peel of some kind of citrus fruit...

Another problem, don't have any oranges, apples or anything citrus, but i do have pineapple slices....will those work as well? If not, how well does a moist/damp paper towel in it instead?

THANK YOU STONERS

 

Pineapple, no. Orange or lemon is best. It's the rind that helps with the even moisture. It takes a couple of days to rehydrate.

 

I once accidentally left bud outside overnight and in the morning the dew had moistened it, making it smolder really well.

 

Well, actually, pineapple does work, with some fruity bud smell. And it doesn't take a few days to rehydrate the bud, it became excessively (too) moist overnight.

 

for a quick fix, take a wadded up piece of papertowel that is wet with hot water (not dripping), and microwave it in an almost sealed container with the dry pot for 10 or 15 seconds... just enough to start steaming the papertowel

Alternatively, a slice of any fruit or vegi will do overnight or much less if you have a warm place to put it.

 

Well, then it did not work then. My point is that there is to much moisture in pineapple. The reason the rind of an orange or lemon works best is because it does not have that much moisture in the first place. The peel is designed to keep in moisture and so the lower levels of moisture in the rind it's self will hydrate the weed slightly.

Just cut up a few strips and mix it in your bud. You don't need a lot. Depending on how much weed you are trying to rehydrate.

Another thing that works well is those things you can get at a cigar store. However, they work really fast.

 

ah your thinking is right, it didn't work. worked too much. i haven't tried smoking it... hopefully it burns well

 

yeah, i was just gonna say to not do it for too long. even just an hour or two at most is all you'll need. and let's say you're trying to hydrate about an 8th - i would use only a nickel or quarter-sized (at most) piece of orange or lemon peel . and you don't want the peel to touch the weed at all. it can get TOO moist that way, as well.

let it dry out a little again, then it should be OK.

 

best thing to use is fresh orange LEAVES not peels.


peels contain too much moisture and oils.

 

or even headshops now have these hydrating beads.

you just soak it in water and it keeps your stash nice and humidified.

 

a piece of bread will work fast
....bread will re moisten dried brown sugar in 2 hours

science can be fun

 

yeah bread is good too.



You just dont want the oils from fruit peels.

 

I re-moisten it with FIRE.. burn that shit. yo!!

 

I concur.

 

Well it got super moist over night, I've been smoking it and it burns nice. Quite slow but still ripping somehow. I think it's magic of the pineapple. I'm happy with my squishy bud.

 

i dont know if this has been posted or not, but spread your bud out on the bathroom counter and take a hot shower. this will get some moisture in the buds.

 

yeah just put it in the Microwave man, 1:30

 

That sounds like such a bad idea.
