From what I've read simply air drying with a fan or something will but you a week or so, but for storage longer than that they should be dried until cracker dry. Which was unbelievably easy to achieve (just harvested my first) looks good though man. Congratulations

A dehydrator would be optimal for drying, but you can fan dry as well. Make sure after they are partially dried with the fan, you put them in a jar with some silica gels to get the last bits of moisture out, or they might lose a bit of potency over time.

Thanks for the input man, I actually managed to get hold of a small space heater today (fan type) so I'm using that on the lowest setting. I will definitely invest in a dehydrator in the future but for the moment this should do. I also have some of those large 50g silica sachets at my disposal.

Picked a few this morning. My SAB is currently disinfecting in preparation for my first G2G.

11hr soak??!!
 Never soak bulk longer than 3hrs..
Also, you want to let your substrate sorta dry out after each flush before dunking for 2-3hrs...
That being said, your substrate is probably water logged.

Ah shit I read a few posts that recommended up to 24 hrs... The sub was really dry prior to soaking, I let it drain pretty well after but no doubt it's well over field capacity.
