Do I lose potency when I re-dry my cubes?

So I grew a lot of Cubes this summer, around 2kg (200+ grams dry). I have stored them all in zip-lock bags but I just checked and 4-6 weeks later they are not cracker dry anymore. If I dry them again in my dehydrator will there be any loss of potency?
I have bought a couple of 1 liter airtight jars now to store them in after I have re-dried them.
Thanks guys!
Peace, Nizmo

Further drying will not effect potency but the time they spent not fully dry already has.

No, but being that they wherent dry to start with im sure they have lost some potency while they sat in a bag with moisture.

I wonder if they could have been completely dry, then got some moisture from a humid environment or something. I've never experienced this personally, but I ran into someone who said this happened to them. They were apparently forsure fully dried and ended up with moisture in them somehow. He didn't even further dry them, he just ate them and checked for mold. Apparently they worked well.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Well, they were not really that moisture but just a little bit limp. Let's say just not cracker dry anymore. If it's just a little bit potency loss I can live with guess I will find out my next trip.
Thanks all!

should be fine as long as no mold formed on them. try and throw a bit of desiccant in your long term storage. Here in the states it's about $3.00 for a decent sized bag of CaCl2.

Yea, I should probably do that. I have again dried them cracker dry now and grinded them up all together so I will get a hold of the potency all together. Got exactly 2 full 0,75L airtight jars. Won't they stay cracker dry even if I choose not to use desiccant? Since it's 100% airtight and all.

Ive never used the packets, or held on to a stash longer than a few months so i never found out.
If i was planning for long term storage i would buy a few packets to include in the powder, or make chocolates and freeze them.
