I've heard of big farms freezing immediately after harvest. Pretty sure all of that goes directly to processing for edibles though.Does anybody freeze dry fresh flower on here and if so....what do you set your tray temps and cycle time on.....I know it will vary but I need a starting point.
I doubt many people have the equipment to actually freeze dry. You need extremely low temps with the removal of water by sublimation.Does anybody freeze dry fresh flower on here and if so....what do you set your tray temps and cycle time on.....I know it will vary but I need a starting point.
I would wash immediately for that...but yes that's what the freeze dryer was bought forIs this for WPFF extracts?
That's why the post title says harvest right owners......that's a brand of personal freeze dryersI doubt many people have the equipment to actually freeze dry. You need extremely low temps with the removal of water by sublimation.

Not at all what I am talking about...but thanks for the humorHi I’ve tried putting it straight in the freezer in a vacuum bag, and it tasted like shit. I’m sure someone has a better method. Hope this helps. The Vinman
I'm still very much an amateur when it comes to extracts but I'll check out IG because I'm very curious. As of now, I just cut, freeze, wash, vac, and vape.Not sure if any of you guys have an Instagram but check out khash_treemason he freeze drys his grandma's cookies (pre-ogkb) and it looks amazing was just looking for someone with personal experience and possibly machine setting guidance
Thanks for the information! I'll look that up.That's why the post title says harvest right owners......that's a brand of personal freeze dryers
Interesting, I've never heard of whole plant fresh frozen! Off to google ;D then again I'm just the grower I'll have to toss this in @cannabineer 's direction, I love learning stuff great thread, thanks @mrmaddu and @Tangerine_I'm still very much an amateur when it comes to extracts but I'll check out IG because I'm very curious.

Sorry I couldn't be helpful.
I’ve never freeze-dried. I don’t have access to the equipment.Interesting, I've never heard of whole plant fresh frozen! Off to google ;D then again I'm just the grower I'll have to toss this in @cannabineer 's direction, I love learning stuff great thread, thanks @mrmaddu and @Tangerine_
He posted his answer to me about Harvest Right Freeze Dryers between that and Tangerine_'s post about WPFF I thought you might be interested, good morning.I’ve never freeze-dried. I don’t have access to the equipment.
I tried once to extract wet plant matter with poor results.
Yep. I bought I closed loop last spring and I've enjoyed the extracts. I do some bubble too but my process needs work and I still need a decent press for rosin.You doing bho?
@Tangerine_
The frozen stuff doesn't give as much return as dried flowers but it retains more terpenes. This was one of my first attempts.He posted his answer to me about Harvest Right Freeze Dryers between that and Tangerine_'s post about WPFF I thought you might be interested, good morning.
Good information thank you! I know next to nothing about extracts. I grow and CN extracts to distillate for vaping and use in edibles. One of my complaints about vaping distillates is the complete lack of everything but the cannabinoids. It's why I still prefer joints.Yep.

I read up on the various techniques when I can but extracts have evolved so fast its hard to keep up.

I froze the flowers from a Blueberry Shortcake I grew and I was blown away by the difference in flavor. Plus, this is the kind of stuff that keeps me busy and allows me to share (sometimes barter) the end product with friends and fam.
I cut the buds and put them in them freezer for a couple days

And this is the top view of my first extraction set up. The outside column holds dry ice and denatured alcohol for dewaxing. I wrapped a towel around the outside to absorb condensation.

This is primitive compared to the new techs they have now but it does get the job done and it was an affordable set up.
After purging in the vac chamber for 3 days.

I'm going to attempt gummy bears with my round of extracts. I've got a couple dear friends that would like to try some micro dose edibles for pain relief. One had radical cystectomy (at 45) and the stoma retracted leaving her with little option but to have the procedure repeated 5yrs later on the opposite side. I give her whatever she needs but vaping/smoking has become difficult.
And I wouldn't mind trying some myself. My RA (from Lyme) has started to affect my hands. Some days I feel like they dont even belong to me.
Sorry for the thread hijack, op. I get a little yappy after my morning coffee, lol
