Anyone used a food dehydrater for drying?

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has ever used a food dehydrater to dry buds.

I am trying to sample a bit of it, but it needs to dry so I figured I could speed it up with the dehydrater.

The rest of the plant will be dried and cured properly.

Any thoughts?

Hell yeah! For sampling I mean. Works in a couple hours.

So you have used this method?

I assume you put it on the lowest setting?

My dehydrator only has one setting, on/off. I haven't had to in a while, thank god, but yeah, it works. So does the microwave if your in a real hurry. Chop it up like your rolling a joint, while still wet, roll it up in some paper towel, all spread out, and give it about three or four ten second blasts, flipping it each time. Roll your joint/pack your pipe, enjoy.

Thanks a ton ccodiane, I appreciate it!

sometimes a food dehydrator can get too hot....but i guess if you have a low setting im hoping you are using it....


never seen one like that!

food dehydrators are not good for drying your pot period. if you want to dry them faster invest in an herb dryer. you can get them on ebay for around $200 dollars.

Or you could just make one, its very easy. You dont need the carbon filter unless you have smell issues. I just got a dark container - whatever size - fit some metal racks, an air intake and out with pc 120 mm fans and your set - under $20.

Here is a link to one

Like I said you dont need the carbon scrubber.

Cant remember where I read it but in regard to the food dehydrator apparently any temps over 85 will cause your tricombs to break down.

Hey thanks for all the help and advice fellas, I appreciate it.

The one I have has settings and I used the lowest and left it in there about 4-5 hours. It was still kinda moist and didn't want to stay lit in the blunt.

It didn't have much potency. I got a quick head high and it was gone in 20 minutes or so. It's just bag seed so I can't expect much but I can't wait to try it when it's properly dried and cured. I hear the potency comes from the cure. I hope so.

thanx again

if a good dehydrator had a setting of 35*C can it work? this setting is said to be for herbs in the manual.

an air intake and out with pc 120 mm fans

I hear PC fans being discussed frequently but I am wondering how this works being a 12V product?
