Still not 100% sure about my drying method yet! Thought I had 7 good days to figure that one out. As I was out of smoke I needed to get started ASAP even if I had not thought the whole thing through!

 

Kind of like a nuclear power plant...you need the electricity now, worry about the waste problem later!

 

I am open to all suggestions. I will go look in the shops for a dehydrator or whatever - see what is available!

I have read that food dehydrators work by blowing hot air over the food! This got me thinking....sounds a little like my clothes dryer. :scratchin

 

So, how's this for a plan? Put the wet bed in a small bag - a pillow case or the like - and stick in the clothes dryer on the lowest heat setting. This seems like a reasonable idea to me. Whadda you guys reckon??

You'll lose massive amounts of trichomes if you put it in a tumble drier. I would let it dry naturally unless you can come up with a better method. You could always put a fan about a metre away from it and let it help the drying process with a bit of air.

I have read that you can use a fan or a hair dryer.

Yeah, the drier may be a little too much A small fan heater on low has always done me when i need to dry a bit quicker, just hang em up or put them on a screen, and put the fan heater in the same room a couple of metres away......... you can use a pedestal fan on low too, get the airflow going.

Fan dry it for 24 hours then stick it in a sealed container with a heap of dessicant (damp-rid) for another 24. Thats how I dry mushies and they are 90% water.

heya Hanky

 

have you tried the epsom salts baked in the oven for da mushies? works a treat for me

[ffc99]

Thanks for all the advice! Think I will go with the small heater method. It would be gentler then the tumble dryer!

 

Did my first water change. The water came of crystal clear and only a faint grassy smell. The weed is still floating.

 

I will keep you posted
