Use small grow tents to dry your fruits

Hi all
I just wanted to tell you guys how i dry my shrooms. I dry it in the same wee grow tent i have to dry my buds. The reason i like using a grow tent is because you can literally fit kilos and kilos of mushrooms in there and because the temperature is kept pretty well insulated inside. I just use a collapsable drying net that can be hung from the ceiling one of those heaters with fan anoter fan blowing air inside the tent and a very small extracotr taking air away from the top slowly. I set the thermostat on high (+/-40C) and i get my mushrooms to dey in just about 12-16 hours. I have a tent that 3 by 3 and 6 in heigt the most i have dried at once were two monotubs and there was easily space for another 4 no problem. I really recomend it to anyone who has too many mushrooms to dry.

Interesting. What's your electricity consumption with that setup?

I highly recommend www.genesisgeneration.us and Freedomainradio.

To be honest i cant be sure. The thermostat does turn it off every so often but never for longer than say 10 min once the temperature is reached. But let's assume the heater never stopped for 16 hours at 1kw @ 7 euro cents = 1,12 euros. Both extractor and circulating fan are 0.090kw combined coming to a cost of 0,10 euros. 1,22 total. It might be VERY expensive in comparison to those little food dehydrators but come on you could never dry 4 montubs and still fit a party of 4 in them, even at 10x the cost i would probably still do it. For when i dry the weed i actually went crazy 5 years ago and bought a temperature/fan speed controller so as to help me keep the temperature at 18-19C all the time and i make sure humidity doesnt fall below 60%. It takes me sometimes 3-4 weeks to dry the buds and i've been given shit wet weed before that has become amazing just due to being dried in those conditions.
