Chopped them up throw them
In paper bags for a few days
I have recently participated in the use of a commercial unit,
I am a believer in freeze drying, can’t wait to do it for myself.
Beautiful Product
I shit you not though, somewhere at OG1 there was a thread that BOG and Chimera did about drying with a food dehydrator, I believe BOG said it brought out more triches in side by side with regular cure. Now the freeze drier I saw definitely brought out the triches, the color and the smell.
That is what I have read hear. Dark, 60’s% humidity and air flow.
Yeah im 100% sure im doing it all wrong.

Well, maybe not 100%. 
Not sure if anyone else does this but I have never had a bad experience doing the following.
- Wet trim buds and leave on branches up to 1ft long.
- 4-Bucket bud wash;
Bucket 1: H202 (1gal 3% + 3gal water)
Bucket 2: water (4 gal) + 1cup lemon juice + 1 cup baking soda
Bucket 3: water (5 gal), room temp.
Bucket 4: water (5 gal), just below room temp (cool to touch).
Take a few branches, immerse in bucket 1 and swirl/agitate 30sec-1min. (if you have any signs of PM go 1min). Lift from solution, allow to drain back into bucket, move onto bucket 2. Immerse in bucket 2, swirl/agitate 30sec-1min. Lift from solution, allow to drain back into bucket, move onto bucket 3. Immerse in bucket 3 and swirl/agitate 30sec-1min. Lift from water, allow to drain back into bucket, move onto bucket 4. Immerse in bucket 4 and swirl/agitate 30sec-1min. Lift from water, allow to drain back into bucket, hang to drip (or; what I do) place on cooling rack on tray to drain.
- Hang to dry on string or drying rack (I use a 6 layer drying rack) in a dark room or back into your growing tent.
If hanging on line; place an oscillating fan nearby to keep the air moving.
If using a rack, place a fan underneath (aiming up) as well as a fan aimed at the side of the rack. Every 24 hours collapse the rack upon itself to turn upside down for re-hanging.
I’ve done this for my past 4 cycles with popcorn nugs to gorrilla fist branches and not a single problem. It takes about 4-7 days depending on RH of the area to get the branches to the right “snap”. I then toss everything in 5gal buckets with gammaseal tops + a hygrometer + a 1lb bovida; burp for the first week with bucket shakes to stir things up. After that week all i do is let the stuff cure.

Do you have a grow log? Tag me in
I don’t know how to tag anyone but here is the link.
I dry in a sealed room set at 62% and around 21c
I have one small fan used for airflow only.
My inkbird keeps the humidity for me.
Lost a crop to outdoor mold, but my drying procedure is bulletproof.
The humidity spikes when I put fresh cut flower in the room but not big deal.
All the best.
