Time and temperature to freeze dry flower?

Hey everyone, I'm new here, desperate for someone to share there times and temperatures they use to freeze dry there buds. I have a harvest right freeze dryer I use for hash and will possibly buy more large ones for quick drying bud, I know it's possible I just cant find anyone's suggested times or shelf limit temperatures. Thanks to anyone for reading

Are you going to extract the flower or smoke it? If you intend to smoke the flower then don't freeze dry it.

I intend to sell it to be smoked, that is 100 percent possible companies do it all over, 24 hr crop to cure. do you have experience in this or not.

Probably about as much experience freeze drying flower as you have with the search feature lol. I ran a quick search and came up with several topics. Perhaps the info you seek is there? As to my freeze drying, I harvest 45 - 55 pounds a run so I really can't freeze dry it unless I had some massive commercial freeze drier. From what I read it takes 8-9 hours to dry a load and depending on the size of your unit it will take several loads to dry a pound. Good luck and happy growing!

sorry if I came off as rude for how I worded it, that's the last thing i was trying to do.was just trying to specify what I was talking about. And ya I really dont know how to navigate this site I have searched and cant find shit

Freeze drying, fresh frozen, live resin, indica, hydroponic.. what's the world coming to.. No one cares about a good high anymore.. They'd rather pretend they got cottonmouth than actually be inconvienced by some dankness

If you have experience in what I'm asking about and think it sucks I'd love to hear

The old school throw it in the freezer for months (after initial drying) has worked really well for me in the past as a curing method. I have also used the traditional dry and cure (with Boveda packs and CVaults) with good results. I did try “real” freeze drying on my work equipment (-80 C freezer and 18 liter freeze dryer) and although it retains some nice aromatic components, the product was just too dry and crumbly. This is just one data point and I did not experiment with a lot of parameters. Good luck!
