Question for people with dehydrators who do small(er) batches...
    #14273902 - 04/11/11 05:55 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Do you start running the dehydrator when you first start picking, or keep them in the fridge or something until you have a bunch, and then dry them?

I was so excited to start drying that I've been drying a few at a time, so my dehydrator has been running almost constantly when I've been home for the last 3-4 days.

Can't wait to see my electric bill.  It should go nicely with my gas bill after running my stove for a few days since I can only PC 3 pints at a time.

I air dry for a day or two and then I dry in small batches in the dehydrator.  I only run it for a few hours as that seems sufficient to get them cracker dry.

:whathesaid: Air drying with a screen or wire basket and a fan really does work great. Then when you have enough, throw 'em in the dehydrator in a larger batch.

My friend air dries on a colander sitting on top of a medium-sized fan for a day then throws them in a sealed container with desiccant for another day. Comes out cracker dry in 2 days flat.

I am still a noob, with only one grow under my belt but I have been picking as I go and dehydrating constantly. Mostly because I was impatient to hit the 4 gram dry mark so I could get a dose quickly.

But now that I read your post, I have to smack myself and thing"Why didnt I just keep them in the fridge until I could do a whole tray???"

Live and learn.... next flush that is what I will be doing.

I don't think anyone here said putting them in the fridge is a great idea, though I have read you can keep them in a paper bag in the fridge for up to a week.
