Harvest & Curing Use of a dehydrator.

[Yourmom]

I have a food grade dehydrator I use to dry fruit and stuff. Can I use that to dry the erb or will it kill its flavor? How long, what temp etc?
Also, would that matter if I only used the dried goods to make bubble hash or canna-Cocobutter?

If you are down and totally out of herb. You can dry an emergency ration with a dehydrator but hang most of your bud and dry slowly at 65°F 55%-60% RH over 4 or 5 days Then sweat it for a day in brown paper bags and cure in Grove Bags

The stuff from the dydrator will get you high but taste like alfalfa. It won't matter for the bubble hash but it will flavor your butter to taste like alfalfa or grass.

I have done it a couple of times. It.came out ok but big disclaimer my dehydrator will can turn the heat completely off and just.circulates ambient air. Again Ok but not what you're looking for

Thanks for the reply. At what point do you just let it circulate the air?

I didn't use heat at all, so it would just circulate air at ambient temperature. So the temp would stay around 72-75 depending on room temperature.

The thing i didn't like.was the how low the humidity goes. Humidity would drop down to the low 30%. From what I understand that's way too low.
