no the oven is not better in a pinch trust me i know

using paper towels and newspaper to fan dry is doing it wrong, save some garlic or onion bags and hang it over a fan, they will be 100% dry in 24-48

or do screens and one or two box fans, u can dry a ton on just one w/o a dehumidifier

like i said if u live somewhere its humid it obv wont work unless u use a dehumidifier and at that point a dehydrator is probably better

not trying to argue about it cuz its honestly dumb af but ppl just dont get how to actually fan dry and ya it doesnt work very well when u just aim a fan at some shrooms on some paper

catnip40 said:
I guess it depends on ur rh


This is the critical variable. Can you get away with a box fan and no heat at 5% ambient RH? Sure. 60%? No way. After all the heater inside of a dehydrator is meant to just reduce the humidity of the air circulating through it anyway, the heating itself is a secondary effect.

I'm sure that just a fan would work fine for me out here in the desert but the same advice to someone in the PNW isn't going to be valid. +1 on tea being the better option


i mean i added the caveat about rh for a reason but ya. fan drying works tho in a lot of places if ppl wouldnt just aim a fan at some news paper or shrooms on a plate and wonder why it doesnt work right

hanging or stacking mesh trays on top of a fan is literally the same exact thing as a dehydrator without heat lol

i agree about tea as well tho either way but technically ppl just dont fan dry right a lot of times and they could easily do it right

its just that i would assume basically everyone has a fan in their house they could make work if their dehydrator happens to break

i would also support catnips method instead of an oven.

oven drying especially if you have a gas oven is not that great. gas ovens burn and release water as a byproduct of combustion. thats also why heating up fried foods in a gas oven sucks.

anyone ever put exposed pizza in the fridge? like on a plate? that shit is gonna be rock hard in a day. id also say try drying in your fridge before oven tekking it.

oh how times have changed.

The addition of a dehumidifier definitely changes my opinion on that approach as an emergency method.

and again, the risk associated with running a gas oven for hours and hours and hours with the door open.  carbon monoxide doesn't play around.

I'd go extract->freeze if I found myself in the same boat.

:justno:

I lived in a house that had a gas oven running all the time, it is not an issue.

Funny the things I get excited about when it comes to those hobby.

Got some new lids and gonna try these new filters out:rockon:

Someone recommended me to use two stickers one on each side of the lid. Curious about if people use one or two filter patches?

reinforce that jawn with a piece of micropore jimmy itll save ur life

i use one sticker with a micropore on the top of it and bottom side of the lid which is probably overkill but putting a piece on top helps micropore adhesive is stickier than those stickers

agreed and everyone debating about drying methods needs to remember the established context, which was someone with a broken dehydrator and a fresh harvest.


And pan cyans, which dry much more easily than cubes.

And I had a completely separate conversation yesterday with someone else who grows a lot of pans, and they never use heat when they dry.  They also live in the desert.

So yeah, context matters.

And holy shit we're still having this conversation :lol:

I use two stickers, and I learned that from Rev's puck thread.

For full size grain jars I have larger holes than for the pucks, but I'm still using two stickers.  And moving away from the full size SFDs.

Hey yall i need help
I made 3 lc jars and inoculated 1
Broth is made from BRF so its cloudy as a mf
I added inoculated rice grains to it about a week ago
Only one grain that was floating has visible mycelium - is this normal??

I cant take a pic of the floating grain as its not floating anymore, but is it normal for mycelium to not be visible on other grains that are sitting on the bottom?

I stir it twice a day

Heres a pic but i guess it won't help you much


Color looks the same as non inoculated jars

Also these white clouds are just undisolved clumps of flour, other jars look the same


--------------------
Please believe in love.

you lived in *a* house with a gas oven.  I have personally experienced my CO detector going off when drying peppers in the exact manner discussed here.  erring on the side of caution when people's lives are at risk is always the best practice.

mr piggy, you have a zeal for reflexive opposition that kneecaps your actual expertise.  it's a prevalent theme in your response posts and as a fellow human I'd recommend you address it.  it really diminishes what you could be.

Important point being raised:
If your house burns gas/natural gas/propane/oil/coal/wood, get a multi gas detector. Sleep better. I have 3. The only time one went off was when I was running a generator, outside.

But why two stickers? Of course for max security, but why wouldn’t a single one be enough?
Just curious

Yeah it's just maximum security, I have had some of them fall off.

It's less about doubling up on the SFD, and more about stickers fail.

i guess you could double up on the stickers but one piece of micropore on top will hold it down for several runs
