No, you can't really dehydrate for too long IME, unless you left them in there for a month maybe...  Just get them cracker dry like before.

My first flush was a bunch of tiny fruits. The second, they are huge. The sub has pulled back from the sides but i think I can get a decent 3rd flush. They are ready for harvest today. When I get home im gonna dunk.

These are GT and I've noticed that they were pretty weak potent wise. I think it may be because I let them sit on my table under a fan f 3 days then threw them on a solid baking sheet and oven-dried them for 1 hour on 170. I may have cooked them a little.

I bought a dehydrator yesterday. I like they way they come out better for sure.

When using a dehydrator, is there such thing as "too long" in there to where it would affect potency?



drying them under  a fan shouldn't have any effect on potency.

I've read that oxidation reduces potency.

it does so dry them with a dehydrator in 12 hours rather than drying them over 3+ days with a fan or other bullshit. 12 hours vs 3 days to oxidize.

:whathesaid:

I meant that anything more than 12 hours, like you said, could cause problems.  My dehydrator is a good one and can do it in under 12 while being quite packed...  My old one used to take a day or two though, I've never experienced potency loss that I know of.  I said a month just as an over exaggeration.

My dehydrator is about to shit the bed. It's starting to sound like a fucking helicopter when I turn it on. I guess they aren't meant to run almost constantly for months at a time.

SBJ, when spawning why not mix your substrate and spawn in a bucket and pour in to tub?

in my case im using CVG, bucket tek, and dunking my spawn. i strain my spawn dump into my bulk sub. mix well and dump into receiving tub.

You certainly can do that if you want. I find it easier to mix in the tub because it's more spread out. Mixing in the bucket is more confined and takes more effort.

Also, I usually don't use the bucket tek exactly, I have a big pot I like to use to prep CVG. By the Time I get the CVG and spawn in there, I would probably have some spill over trying to mix it.

But, I see nothing technically wrong with mixing in the bucket and then dumping it all in the tub.

I have a mono tub that was fully colonized in 8 days and been in fruiting for an additional 14 days. Ive followed all of spitballs teks. 5q WBS to 10q CVG, in a mono tub with polyfill holes and daylight CFLs and intermittent fan blowing... still nothing. When I open it up it smells like fresh mushrooms. 2 weeks seems like a long time, should I justtoss it?

sounds like you fruited too early and didnt allow enough time for consolidation.  full colonization isnt always the sign to fruit your mono, I leave it in colonizing/consolidation until I see a pin or 2 then you know its ready to fruit.

what you can do now is lift your mono and see if it feels heavy with water or light like its dry.  if its dry then dunk for 4 hours then put back into fruiting.  if its still heavy then give more FAE.  :thumbup:

Yeah. It cracks from lifting it and setting it Down. The bottom of the bin sags and buckled when I move it. The surface seemed a little dry so I misted it. But it's the same weight as another freshly made tub, so I don't think it's lost that much water. It really smells great though. I know it's dying to fruit. I'll give it a few more days and see what happens. If nothing happens ill dunk it. I've only dunked cakes before, so I'm sure it won't go as planned.
