dewbie 101 - use of dewbie stone for cannabis rehydration
How long should I soak the dewbie for?
The dewbie stone will soak up to approximately 2 grams of water over two minutes, but absorbs the majority of that within the first 30 to 60 seconds.
How long should I leave the dewbie re-hydrating my herb?
The amount of time for cannabis rehydration with a dewbie stone will be determined by quantity of herb, how dry the flower is, what you are storing/rehydrating it in, and your own individual moisture preference. That said, a dewbie will refresh a couple of grams in 10 to 20 minutes using a small jar with a good lid, but a really dried quarter ounce can take an hour or two. In the case of an ounce, rehydration may take 8 hours or more (while also adding almost 2 grams of weight to an overly dry ounce).
Should I leave my dewbie in with my stash?
In the case above whereby you've rehydrated an ounce, you can leave the 'waning' dewbie in with the herb while consuming the contents of the jar over time. In this way, you are maintaining hydration despite many openings of the container thru having just a little water in your stone. Beware though, if you were to leave a well-soaked dewbie in a sealed container with a relatively small amount of cannabis, you risk over-hydrating your stash.
I left my dewbie in too long and my flower is over-hydrated. Help.
Spread your bud(s) out on a piece of paper to let dry, or simply leave the container open until sufficiently air-dried.
Can I use my dewbie to aid in curing fresh cut flower?
Yes, a completely dry dewbie will help to draw moisture out of newly-cut bud, but you would need a much larger stone to have any significant effect. Luckily, we have the dewbieXL for such an occasion...just call or write for more info.
