I believe the comment "Totally on brand" is voicing support of your method of containment curtain. Believe me I had to look the phrase up for myself.

That's two of us but I'm pretty sure it was a compliment. I'm still trying to figure out what it means to get ones Rizz on?

It is consistent with the Tripdawg brand. Feel free to interpret that however you'd like

Just FYI, I am randomly trying out this drying method right right now. I have a grow room I built that is not currently in use. It has an intake and an exhaust and keeps negative pressure with a ton of airflow. It’s pretty humid where I am now, so even with a dehumidifier running I can only get the RH down to about 55%.
Anyway, I dehydrated most of my recent harvest in a a dehydrator but I put some fresh fruit in an herb dryer rack thing in the grow room about two days ago. Will report back tomorrow.
The only reason I am trying this is because I happened to have the grow room available and I actually want to use the dehydrator for other shit. If this works out I guess it could be slightly easier. Definitely not less power consumption. I only dehydrate at 95 degrees but I guess there is some potential appeal to dehydrating in a dark room at around 70 degrees. (From what I have read the actives degrade slightly less in this type of environment.)

I didn't quote you, but your last sentence is exactly why I'm attempting this method. Now is there a significant difference in compound levels with the 2 different methods? I'm going to speculate no its nil marginal at best. Still I'm continuing on said method really only because I prefer air dryed veggies at 70 degrees vs. A higher heat level. The texture is better in my mind and overall is just a better end product. Now thats just me and not necessarily fact. Mind you this the theory of the local culinary mushroom shop and how they dry. Remember thou we are talking about morels, truffels, chanterels, oysters, and shitakis, a high dollar food product vs. psychoactive mushroom tissue bodies. We may care how a cuisine mushroom looks on a 100 dollar dinner plate but may not really care what a ounce of golden teacher looks likes in the bottum of a ziplock after drying. We often just quick dry to ingest magic with no regards to the mushroom appearance but when it's culinary it's a different animal all together. Now one question, you mentioned negative pressure in your room, that means the ambient pressure around is higher and will force air in. You want positive pressure or positive ventilation to force moist air out. A example of negative pressure was when I had the tent sealed, it never dropped below 99% rh in a 16 hour span. Then when I unzipped the tent, it went to positive pressure or positive air flow venting out the moist air, and crashed the rh% down to 50, drying the towel in 7 hours complete. In summary make sure you have a place for the moist air to escape to, if it's negative pressure it's staying in your room and you will run the chance of wet soggy mold. Let me know if I can give you anymore input because I like to share. Added info here: I just went back and read your numbers, you stated plenty of airflow but 55% rh. OK, in my recent experience, no problem. Remember my tent is in an a subterranean basement meaning it's under the soil grade outside and its very damp. My baseline humidity before adding the wet towel, nor turning on the fan or dehumidifier was....54% I even left a picture of the hygrometer reading in this thread because I knew I would come back to it. Anyways the wet towel was added, components turned on.... up to 99% she goes and hovers until unzipping the tent and later finished drying at 50% reading which ironically is almost your room reading and nearly the same as my baseline reading. So what I'm getting at its not so much about the relative humidity as much as it is about the air movement. I think I could of gotten the tent even lower rh% if I continued to run the dehumidifier/fan combo longer or even beforehand. I would say sure if you had a big dehumidifier or were in desert like conditions that dryer ambient air is only going to serve to wick moisture out quicker but I literally brought a rain box down to dryness with simple air movement. Let me know

im confused as to why you would prefer such a complicated and ineffective method of drying your fruits. using a food dehydrator is neither "baking" nor "superheating", its dehydrating. thats why they call it that
im also confused as to why you would want to spend time setting up a whole tent just to do SAB work. all you have to do is close the windows or turn off the AC. no need to put on clean clothes or sanitize the surrounding area, thats not how a SAB works
Yes, all you need is the SAB, and still air in the house/room (fan/AC/windows/other)

this is outdated info. actives are stable at high temps. a shroomery member whos name escapes me PCed his shrooms to prove this point, and i believe there was another experiment involving deep frying. no loss in potency, and a standard food dehydrator gets nowhere near those temps
its been a while since i went down this rabbit hole but from what i remember psilocybin oxidizes in the presence of water. theres some nuance involving pH but basically the best way to preserve the actives is to remove the water quickly with hot air

That's like putting a flowhood or ffu in a tent, it's a smaller space.....

It makes zero sense but if it makes you feel better then I guess the placebo works.

But you just said it's no different to letting the air settle in the room and then proceed to argue the use of a smaller space?
