Help please on drying my first grow with no equipment
    #21268282 - 02/13/15 10:00 AM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Hey dudes and dudettes

I am new to this scene and to this site and am very looking forward to learning and experiencing what is to come.

So I got a couple of Mexican growing kits from a recommended site and having an anti drugs or chemicals or anything fun girlfriend, they are at my brothers growing. This is first time he has grown these. The growing stage isn't the issue as the instructions were very clear.

But

When they are finished, without buying any fans or dryers or anything else, is there another way to dry them out before I can take them? Can I just leave them drying somewhere on a plate? Does it have to be in a dark place? Light place? Cold

put them on top of your cable box man.  Dries mine out in like 8 hours and uses no add'tl energy.

tis shame it aint warmer weather

the answer would be easy(sun dry)

has worked for centuries

the best way by far is air dry but albeit slower

a man can ruin em if they are dried too fast/ too hot

no matter what anybody says about dehydrators

I don't like em

Right? Haha

Man I used to use a drying rack made of window screen on a wooden fram with a fan blowing over it. It could take a week to get cracker dry sometimes!



But no, reasonable heat wont ruin them. Most of us use a dehydrator.

Been drying mine @ 105 deg for 12-18 hrs or so and I couldn't be happier with the results. Seems like the longer you take to dry them, the less potent they become.

ohh shit here we go:facepalm:

man ive only pulled off maybe 10 grows but the ones I dried in the sun was way better

I used the dehydrator cause I had so damn many:grin:

but the one I got does run a bit hot

I do have a crazy thought firmly burnt in my brain that the really good things to have take more time to obtain

the window screen thing sounds pretty ingenouis

maybe prop it over a heat vent if you have central air:shrug:

take my advice or not

I think slower is better

then again I can be an idiot sometimes:laugh:

Sorry for late reply. I was looking around for ages to find the 'reply' button. After looking around dozens of times, I realised I wasn't logged in. Man.......and this is before I taken any. Lol.

Thanks for your replies guys. Big help. Seeing its scrappy winter so can't leave in the sun, and I got no equipment, and I gotta keep them out of site, I think my best bet is on top of the sky box.

So once they been on there for a few hours and dry, can I stick em in a sandwich bag until I'm ready to do them?

The instructions that came with them said to dry them out for 1 week. What's all that about then?

Don't plan on drying mushrooms in a few hours, not going to happen unless you grew noodles. In order to store them they are going to have to be cracker dry or they will rot on you

Ah ok. I was just reading midnightmaraude's reply about drying them on cable box for 8 hours.

So how long you reckon? If they are kept on top of a cable box in a room at room temp? With a bit of heat from the box of course. A couple of days or a week like the instructions said?

OP worse comes to worse put a pound or two of rice in a shoebox then a piece of window screen  on top of the rice and put em in there with the lid of for a day or so maybe not 'cracker dry'  But after that an hour or so in the oven on low with the door cracked.

Hmmm ok. Nice one. But when you say window screen, you mean just a piece of glass? And do the shrooms have to be sitting on top of this screen? Or anywhere in the shoe box?

Do you have forced hot air heating? You could hang them in one of the vents

So what is a window screen guys??? If it's not glass?

And unfortunately mate I haven't got hot air heating. Got a wet system. Could I leave them on top of the boiler. That gets hot.

Ah ha. Just googled it. It's like an insect screen. Ok.....gotcha now.

So I could put some rice in a shoe box with a screen over the rice and the shrooms on top of the screen. Then put the show box on top of the boiler. Would that work??? And how long should I leave it there? Approx a week?
