So here it is ! The first harvest of Shrooms in my life ! This would not be possible if you guys didnt told me about the lack of FAE signals. I really appreciate it !
i got 160g of wets, from what i read i should get around 15-16 g of dried shrooms. And im using, inside a weedgrow tent, a fan, blowing wind directly, and a dehumidifier. I dont have a dehydrator for now, can you tell me if this technique is good anyway ? in terms of keeping the potency and safeness !?
Big hugs ! 
I would suggest getting a dehydrator one of your best investments going forward. High heat (160F) and a breeze is what you need. I might try putting them on paper towels on a tray or in a paper bag and dry them down in a 160F oven. It won't be as fast as a dehydrator but faster than room air and a fan. Dehydrator would be 4 to 6 hours.

I would spread them out a bit more if you're fan drying them. And I would eat some of those bad boys fresh!
As long as your ambient humidity is low the fan drying tek works fine. My region gets really humid sometimes so if I have any shrooms leftover I always store them in an airtight container or else they turn spongy.
The dehydrator is really the way to go, so if you're planning on fruiting anymore and especially if your increasing your production your going to want to buy a dehydrator at some point.

Don't waste all your time and effort by not dehydrating them.. You won't even know their real weight, nor their real potency, if you're not getting them all the way dry. Heat is necessary in most climates to get the last bit of moisture out.

I know this is off topic but could be relevant for OP...
Inocuole-just wanted to throw out 5 shrooms to you brotha, I used your Tea Tek last night on some wild cinctulus and it worked perfectly! After the extraction, the liquid was BLUE! INCREDIBLE! You da man!
OP- check out the link tor Tea in Inocuole's signature. You will definitely enjoy it!

Yes, after a few hours its already a lot dryer, it takes about 12 to 15 hours with my method. But its working. For future flushes and projects i will defenetly buy one ! i see it is a must have ! but cant really buy one right now
Now i have another question ( buggy mind xD ) i've filled the cake with water, its on cold temp. can i keep it in cold temp, so that i can put it a few hours later, and not on 12h mark ? if yes, should i drain the water after the 12h ? i know this is not related to contams but dunno, just askin xD

It's "working" but when it comes to the last bit, it won't "work". You can definitely use a fan to dry mushrooms 90% of the way, but they won't get any drier than the ambient humidity level without the application of heat. That last 10% of moisture will make your mushrooms weigh twice as much, and their potency will be severely diminished within a couple weeks. Don't try to trip off a gram if you don't get them all the way dry. 
I'm not sure what you're asking about the temp of the water... Filling a cake with water? Dunking? Whatever the ambient temp is will be fine for dunking.. Cold could have negative consequences.

And, my dehumidifier is making heat, and inside the weedgrowtent is hot, how much temp do i need to get that last 10% ?

Is there a particular reason you can't put the cake into fruiting when it's ready? Stalling colonized substrate can hurt the bottom line a bit..

Yes there is of course. i can only put it tomorrow, the best way to avoid risk is to leave the water or to drain it ? its gonna be a 10h perioud until i can put them.

Put it in a plastic bag and tie the top tight, put it somewhere it get hits by sunlight.

..... If there's a reason a grown adult can't fruit a cake at a certain time in their own home, I don't wanna know it.
