Use your desktop PC to dry fruits! (edit: for a very small amount.)

It is a cheap and effective way to dry your stuff by using the back fans of your desktop PC!
I took a cardboard box, divided into two levels, put some kitchen paper in and attached it to the back of my desktop computer. I also attach some black cloth to keep it dark inside. (This does NOT block the airflow. computer is running perfect and no overheating...)
This produces a perfect airflow tunnel at 85° F as long as the computer is running. It is NOT necessary to run the computer 24/7. When harvesting, and I dont need the computer right now, I first put them in the fridge. Its enough if the computer is running a few hours every day. Fruits are perfectly dry after few days!
After that and for long-term storage (e.g. in the freezer) I put them in a airtight box over dry "magnesium sulfate heptahydrate MgSO4·7H2O", for a few days. This process removes any rest of humidity. This non-toxic chemical can be "activated" by putting in the oven. Check google for further information on that...
This second step is merely for safety and not absolutely necessary, as the fruits get really dry with the computer fan.
This is a cheap solution for small growers if you dont want to buy any extra equipment.
EDIT: This is only for a very small amount. Like 2 or 3 cakes.

Honestly bro I dont think it's a great odea.. 3 days is a long time to dry. And what do you mean chemicals get activated in the oven? You could use your oven as a dehydrator that would probably work better. Or just put a fan on a piece of cardboard. Idk I guess,
I really only clicked on this because I used to have a buddy who purged his bho on his xbox lol. Reminded me of this ah

 Invest in a food dehydrator man, fuck outta here with taking "a few days" to dry your fruits, they will be rotten by then.

Dehydrator would get the job done in at least 8-12 hours.
 What a moron.

This method is absolutely ridiculous
If you can't afford a dehydrator maybe you shouldn't grow drugs

Thanks for the input. Why is that? Will they loose potency that fast? They are just exposed to air. I dont see/smell any mold or stuff on them.
How long should the average drying process take? How fast does a dehydrator?
Some people run their dehydrator at 90° F, which is the exactly same process.
Other people dry in plain air and/or under a light bulb, which should not go faster...

"magnesium sulfate heptahydrate MgSO4·7H2O" is an epsom salt which absorbs water from the air. It has to be dried first to loose its H20 molecules, before it can dry other stuff. Its done by putting the salt in the oven at 400°F for 2 hours. By this it can be re-used endless times. Btw, its also added to certain mushrooms substrates. Check here:

No, mister retarded one, they are not! I do it like this and it works. Otherwise I would not post it.

 Thank you bodhisatta, could not have said it better myself.
This method is retarded as fuck and if you can't afford a dehydrator don't fucking grow shrooms.

Hey guy that doesn't know how to spell "bodhisattva"...
This IS my dehydrator. Its the exactly same technique. Sorry for being so smart that I can build my own without having to let others do it (e.g. underpaid chinese factory workers).
Btw, I recognize lots of arrogant people here on the board, maybe they shouldn't DO drugs...

Take your shitty DIY computer fan tek to some other forum and see how you get treated there.
Here on the shroomery we dry our fruits with real food dehydrators. That ghetto DIY shit can get fucked.
Real dehydrator or GTFO...

The stuff with the light bulb is just what I have read from other people, no need to be rude.
I am just providing an idea for a better technique.
And my technique works, believe it or not. They do NOT get rotten.

Jokes on you because it is actually smarter to invest in a real food dehydrator to dry your hand grown mushrooms. A real food dehydrator is mandatory. None of that ghetto BS around here.
If you grow Psilocybe cubensis, buy a fucking real food dehydrator for fuck sake.

Ok, sorry for that. I just felt pretty offended by your input, because you judged it "ridiculous", although it works pretty well.
And as I said, its meant for small amounts, not for the professional grower.
And please don't judge stuff, without knowing the results. It works for me, and I am sure it also works for others.

 Your technique is inferior. GTFO.

To invest in a real dehydrator is the superior technique here...

"ridiculous" is actually an extremely accurate judgement for your pathetic ghetto computer fan drying technique.
You should be offended.

I really dont understand why everbody here is rude asf.
I have continuous airflow at 85°F.
It works well and no mold / rotting.
Its just a proposal.
No danger, no other disadvantages.
