Couple Post-Harvest Questions, Temperature And Oxidatoin Related
    #26973045 - 10/06/20 11:07 PM (3 years, 3 months ago)

Harvested a couple days ago, and forgot about the dehydrator!
Went to a hardware store a ended up doing a DIY. But it took me two days.
In those two days, I was continually harvesting, but the first batch sat in front a fan for two days (78-degrees, 40& RH).
Is that long enough for oxidation to lower the potency significantly?

And... I'm using a space heater. At the 750w setting, the temperature on the first tray stays at 134-degrees.
If I push it to 1500w, it goes flying up to about 190 to 200-degrees.
The DIY dehydrator is built to have a box fan in it above the space heater, but I'm worried that it will blow the air too fast and lower the temperature.
What setting do you recommend?

No.  Most of the the actives are locked in those impenetrable chitin walls people like to talk so much about on here... (they're fine).

Just use the lower one.  People dry these with fans alone at that low of RH and it works fine :thumbup:
