what is the deal with some food dehydrators heating from the top and some from the bottom? does it make any difference seeing as those are from the same company? I am missing something because the snackster is like 100$ and the top blower unit is 40$ from good ol sammy

the one he has for the bottom is just old.... i don't think they make those anymore.
the one's on top are only $35-40 from Super Walmart. They come with 4 trays.
Look in the book that it comes with... Those extra trays are expensive as hell...

they are only 8 dollars for 2 which is a small price to pay when harvesting what agar was talking about. I think your wrong though on the dehydrator. the bottom one agar uses is an amped up model of some sort or something. heres a link

the bottom is not amped up.
there are two nescos working together.
each one can hold 12 trays. one heats from bottom, one from top. 22 trays in between, just under the max for both. both he uses are temp controlled.
I use the same setup sometimes because I have little room. I have to think vertical.

has anyone looked at the threads at mycotopia about drying at much higher heats without potency loss. Is there or is there NOT any proof of potency loss at drying over 145F or so

Yea, the dehydrator can dehydrate some *things* that fast, and yes mushrooms can be one of them. But then you'd have to be putting them in there at a higher temp intended for meats and the such. Patience is key. If you want to risk potency loss even though you're wasting another *precious* day or so, go ahead.

Again is it proven or is it not? Time is not the issue but if you look at agars dehydrator mine is starting to look that way. so Faster is better if its not gonna hurt anything.

The effects of heat are overrated. Keep them out of direct sunlight after picking though. I've boiled mushrooms into tea for years, and that subjects them to 212F/100C. RR

theoretically it will...But that is from prolonged exposure to the heat or something like sunlight.... But I can't see it being to bad in a dehidrattor because it will be fast, but if the potencey is lost....

well what exactly would be prolonged exposure. some say they leave there shrooms in the dehydrator for 3-4 days. Scatmanrav and agar to name a few.

um, I'm not sure if they will be affected by potency.... cuz i have never used a dehydrator before, but i guess you should be the guini pig and just do a few shrooms in there and tell us if they lose potency... maby someday i will pick up a dehydrator...

Thats the thing dudefromaz, you can't test is like that, shrooms vary in potency too much to have that be accurate. And a device to actually measure the levels isn't cheap I presume. Sure heat may be overrated, but just to be on the safe side, I don't see why a few days in the nesco is so horrible. Do you harvest so much that you need the room asap?

I did at the moment. Look at my first grow. I have a much bigger area now, but I just like it to go as fast as possible. Like i said my Nesco is starting to look like agars. They were talking about it over at mycotopia using an oven at 160 and dry in just a few hrs. I generally load up the nesco and put the rest on window screens elevated by bricks and put fans on them overnight while the dehyrador works. Yeah and guinea pigging wouldnt work for me anyhow. My first dose was 2.5 nothing then 5 nothing then 7grams and it started. same stuff people getting visuals at a gram or less. So I guess I got a high tolerance. The most I ever took was 11 and I had a great time. Yes I am concerned about potency. I do not want a bunch of buttons laying around, but if it can go faster the better. All that fungus attracts gnats and other bugs.
Also I would like to bitch on here about how overpriced ebay is on the Nesco Dehyrators. I got mine from old sammy for 40 and the same one on ebay is 57+20 shipping but the other one on the bottom like agar is what i am after.
   and thats a lot less then the first grow. I had some problems no biggie.
