Can I dry bubble hash in the fridge?

Hi guys, unfortunately where I live we have reached 48° Celsius outside and inside the house it is very difficult to keep the temperatures down, I wanted to know if anyone has any tips on how to best dry my bubble hash! I have an empty refrigerator and wanted to know if it was a bad idea to let it dry there, I see a lot of mixed opinions about it and some people say it took a month to dry! The only other alternative was to place the box ,with the bubble hash inside, under the air conditioner jet but I would have to practically put it inside the grow box and I want to avoid screwing up honestly.. do you guys think it is feasible? Should I add something to the inside of the fridge? idk like a fan.. I was reading that someone placed moisture collector packets in the fridge to keep humidity down.
Any advice is welcome :eyesmoke:

PS: the fridge is regular ones and without the no frost function

How did you make bubble hash can I easily with trim or do I need like some set up. I’ve heard of people freeze drying bud in vacuum seal btw. So idk if you could vacuum seal hash but it might work the same I imagine.

Yea u can use the fridge. I freeze mine and thaw it about 4 or 5 times to keep squeezing out moisture for the first day. Then it just stays on a screen under a ceiling fan

Naah, you can just as well do it with trim! I do mine with trim and not very compact flowers! However I had read about it but I don't know if they were just theories! cold freeze-dryers like the harvest right sublimate the product at -40 degrees and also use vacuum to extract the solidified liquids making them directly gaseous and expelled out of the vacuum chamber but I doubt that someone can replace 4000 euros of machinery with a simple vacuum machine and obtain the same result. . i'd still prefer to try to keep everything at a low temperature and take a few more days! if it wasn't so hot i'd put it with an air conditioner 24/7 at about 15 degrees and the dry air would do the rest but i can't reach those temperatures so easily in this heat

So you need equipment to make

yea I just looked it up you need like these machines and ice water and ish.. complicated stuff I want to try it some day.. but after finishing the video I see you can do it without equipment

I did not know about this method of freezing and thawing several times! I will take note for next time
by the way, do you mean that after this you continue the drying process outside the freezer/fridge?
I've taken some readings and the fridge keeps everything at about 4/6 degrees celsius and the humidity between 50/60%, it's already microplanned and spread inside a cardboard with parchment paper inside as a base between the cardboard and the bubble hash.. it will be about 7 grams so I thought the fridge might do the trick but I wanted some opinions on this as I've seen many conflicting theories, especially on RIU, but it was about drying large quantities of flowers inside and there were those who would swear it would all go mouldy! Then I also wanted to know about this theory about the disgusting taste/smell it would get inside the fridge but I don't understand the theory behind that if there is nothing inside the fridge

To make it really easy all you need is the product, bubble bags (you can find many at affordable prices), two containers, water and ice. nothing that expensive! then go on youtube and you'll find lots of videos about it... like the tutorial by frenchy cannoli (which I highly recommend if you want to understand all the theory behind the extraction) and stop. Machines like the harvest right are needed to make everything at the highest quality drying everything without the trichomes oxidising and evaporating through oxygen and heat! but I assure you that even without spending all this money you will have an excellent product in your hands (if done in the right way)

It'll work. Be careful about your hash absorbing food smells though
All right, I checked and it seems to be almost completely dry already! The only thing I have in the cooler is in the fridge drawer and it's some tomatoes sealed in a bag and they're far apart, do you think I still need to take them out? I had another curiosity...let's say it absorbs the smell of the food, would it really change anything if it's going to be pressed all to rosin anyway?
