Can you elaborate on how it killed your flower? Also, in a 60% room you def did not need a shot glass...you're over thinking it at this point. You don't have to rotate trays either. The temp in the unit is 81-82 F nothing near the point where Terps would degrade (a-penine is first to go at 160F). Another question, did you jar and burp for 3 weeks in the 60% room? That reintroduces moisture into the product...the curing process makes a huge difference. I just finished another run and it came out amazing...OG Kush. Happy growingI gave the dryer a second chance on a couple autos I grew out because I wouldn’t chance it on any of my photo flower again. The thing is junk. Maybe I just got a defective one who knows.
On the recommendation that I f*cked up and the environment around it matters I tested it in my hang dry room. 65 degrees and 60% humidity. I also added a shot glass in the center of it with water. I rotated the trays religiously as well.
With still over 24 hours on the clock it had killed my flower. This was leaving it on stem with the sugar leaves still intact for a dry trim. When I jarred it up it never went above 45% rh in my jars. The only thing that, that is good for is getting your trim dry.

They're not out of business their Instagram account was reported and deleted there's a new one up. Yes they lost shipments but from what I read everyone was refunded.I hate to see any small business go under but in this case it will prevent people from screwing up the weed they spent a lot of time growing.
Was the shot glass overkill yes, but with the environment, the shot glass, being on stem and having its leaves intact, it should have dried WAY slower. I like to bring my flower down into the optimal curing range by burping down to 55-58% humidity. In my experience reintroducing moisture to the bud does not re start the cure and I end up with a crappier end product. It came out way too crispy dry and the smoke was too harsh for the second time in a row. All issues I don’t have hang drying. I always jar up around 65% and burp down reintroducing oxygen to continue breaking down chlorophyll further.Can you elaborate on how it killed your flower?

I see. So this dryer works reverse of what you're talking about (obvi...you know that) but with that being said I don't think you're burping/curing enough. I personally like my product around 55% and I achieve that via burping...if the current env isn't very moist then I burp for hours instead of mins...give it time. You can't over dry. It's not for everyone I guess. Personally I don't want the risk of mould via hang drying and it takes up a lot of room. I wet trim and pack that thing to the tits...everything is great after a few weeks and longer.

I'm gonna tell you a secret.First time posting but been growing since 2011. I know the my herbs now is getting good reviews at least on ig.. i asked them how it works an what temps an they said it operates at 75 to 80drgrees it uses a fan and can not cool or add humidity..so basiclly its a food dehydrator..as far as people raving about how great it is, id be willing to bet most r newbs or just dont know..kinda shady to be targeting peolle who dont know any better. I was tryn to not be a hater, but then i saw this cropped pic of lab results..i mean u can post multiple pics on 1post on ig...i find it hard to believe people loose thc from hang drying..as a hash maker i know how delicate sum terps are an blowing warm dry air over them is gonna cause them become volatile.
That is with a minimum of a 2-3 week cure, jars never went above 45% on their own. I like to create my cure environment with my flower vs humidity packs etc. Good to hear it’s working out for you though at least it works for someone lol.I see.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people call bud a “product.” It sounds like a potential narc or dorky lower middle tier dealer on a made for tv movie where a cop is the hero.I see.

I think it is a commercial termOne of my biggest pet peeves is when people call bud a “product.” It sounds like a potential narc or dorky lower middle tier dealer on a made for tv movie where a cop is the hero.
I use the term product from time to time.One of my biggest pet peeves is when people call bud a “product.” It sounds like a potential narc or dorky lower middle tier dealer on a made for tv movie where a cop is the hero.
I agree, "gear" has always bothered me too. First of all it's not really gear, and secondly the term "gear" was already claimed by the steroid culture.I use the term product from time to time.
But you're right. I used the term back in the 80's when I was a low-mid level coke dealer for a couple of years and thought I was cool. So cool I'd make sure everyone could see my beeper clipped to my belt. Then I came to my senses and decided to live a real life. Screw that lifestyle.
My use of the term primarily comes from time working in the food processing and manufacturing industry. I'll have to stop as I don't want to be labelled as a "Narc".
One of my peeves is when people refer to seeds from breeders as "Gear". I'm running X gear. I can't stand it. Seeds are not gear.
I get ya in the uk mate it used to mean smack now its a catch all term from weed to whatever im not a fan myself eitherI agree, "gear" has always bothered me too. First of all it's not really gear, and secondly the term "gear" was already claimed by the steroid culture.
Yep. To me gear will always be junkie talk.I get ya in the uk mate it used to mean smack now its a catch all term from weed to whatever im not a fan myself either
