Multi-Tub Growers and Dehydrators
    #26404714 - 12/28/19 01:24 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Hello all,

For those of you running multiple tubs (3-4) simultaneously, is one dehydrator sufficient? I'm leaning towards no, so I'm wondering what the ratio of tubs to dehydrators is common.

Thanks for your help!

Yeah you’ll be fine. Its more about the size of the trays than the ability of the dehydrator in most cases, even a cheapo one can dry up to a lb at a time just takes longer than if it was loosely packed. You can also throw them in the fridge for a day or two while a batch is drying.

If you stagger the totes you’ll have no problems, you probably dont need two unless your spawning more than 3-4 a week.

For the cheap round ones youcan cut the bottom off a bucket and put it over the dehydro base, dump a shitload mush in and put a loose lid on, will be dry in like 12-24 hrs

Depends on your dehydrator I suppose. Some people just add extra trays or cardboard to add more room. I anticipated this and just built one early on. If bulk harvests are going to be a real concern for you, I would look into either building, or modifying one instead of running multiples.

I.E. homemade dehydrator

What exactly do you have going on in that home made?

A wardrobe moving box, lined with foil. Desk fan in bottom back and an old reptile heat lamp in the bottom.
Racks are window screen with a corrugated plastic frame (what yard signs are made out of). Each rack is 20"x20" (if I remember correctly) and I currently have 4 but can fit 4 more.
This cost me less than $4 to make at the time just because most I already had laying around, so any one part could be subbed for something else that does the same job.
