I read somewhere that by putting your weed which has been compressed due to vacuum seal into an air-tight glass gar with an orange peel and leaving it you can fluff the weed up a bit to make it look a bit better and a bit more presentable.
- Is this true?
- How long should you leave the orange peel in to fluff it up properly?
- Is anyone aware of any other techniques to 'fluff up' their ganja?
Also, general tips for packaging to help weed not be as compressed and making your weed look good thread.
Thanks for your help everyone. :)

I wouldn't use an orange peel, I've seen people do that before but it was usually trying to soften up bricks of regs with it. I've had compressed nugs before from being vac sealed for long periods of time and what I did was put them in tupperware with wet (obviously not dripping wet) q-tips taped to the top. The container shouldn't matter, only reason I used tupperware instead of a jar is because it's laid out more evenly and I had room to tape several q-tips.
You don't want to overdo it though or it can get moldy.

heard the best way to fluff it up is boil a pot of water, get a metal strainer put your weed in it then set it on top of the pot and let it steam

That sounds like an interesting idea, thanks for the tip. :) Did you find that effective or did it just help a little?

Thanks! I'll definitely consider giving that a go. :) Knowing me I'll probably burn the house down though, haha.

if you do just try it out with a little weed first, ive never tried it myself so dont want you to ruin all your weed lol

Lol I honestly just smoke the shit. It's all going to the same place regardless of how "fluffly" it is.
I guess i could understand if you're reselling it though and you want it to be a bit more "presentable" haha.

Cus it feels good every morning you wake up finding your fluffy lil' friend greeting you with a smile from your table ;)

I use orange peels all the time, it really works! The trick is you have to use a sealed container, I use a tupperware that seals in pretty good (you can use mason jars if you're not using a large amount). The trick is not letting the weed touch the orange peels or else they'll get too moist and just turn into shake. What I do is put a layer of orange peels in my tupperware and then lay a sheet of wax paper on top and then put the bud on top of the wax paper so it won't be touching the bud. Leave it there for a couple of hours and you should be good, it'll get moist, fluffy, and get that awesome tangy smell.

I used orange peels when I sold shit mexican brick weed back in the day and threw it in a bag- seemed to work left in a day or 2- i mean i wasn't paying attention in those days it was in the infancy of my weed usage. and the dude i used to buy it from just said to do it. So i cant be certain present day penny would have approved the nugs, but who knows
