How to test before harvest?

[ifsixwasnin9]

I've read about testing before harvest and cutting portion of a bud off, etc. But a fresh cut is not smokable even after a few days because it's not dry enough. How can you go about testing your crop?

I used to be desperate and I would dry it in the microwave at half power for 20 seconds, till dry. It worked.

I test my crop by doing a proper dry and cure.

This is the only way I have found to properly test my girls.

Now if I want to just get high because I am out, I will vape it.

Testing....unless hard up, as duck said, wait it out until proper dry/cure is done....a few weeks or so will do wonders.

Or, get a vape and you can get an idea of buzz....but not taste.

My oven has a WM setting for Warm. It's set under the 200 degree mark. I put the buds in there on that setting on a cookie sheet for 40 minutes, rotating the buds after 20 minutes. They cool down rather quickly after taking them out of the oven. They will taste planty and unlike marijuana, but you will get high, and be able to get a sense of how the high is going to effect you.

I just use a desk lamp. And set the buds on something to where its parallel across under a foot away.
Its no real heat at all. But the bulb is hot enough to dry all the air around. I chop the bud up real fine and just using the dry air from the bulb only takes about an hour and a half to 2 hours.

Last year i would put my test buds in a paper envelope and set it on top of a light bulb, turning every so often. Takes a couple hours and is dry to the touch. It was nothing like the properly dried and cured buds tho. High was still quite good

i like rose's terms (desperate) when you have a huge warhouse full like rose, then you dont need to nip a tester bud! chp, dry & cure for amonth, then smoke. cause with a 100,000 lbs youll have more than enough to get you threw till cure is done! lmfao

how did you beans come out rose?
