a small salad spinner works great to remove most of the xs washwater
So I just dawn with warm water and what not should I power wash them? Lol just playing but really though? No just playin .

By "isolate" I was referring to cannabinoids Canyon. I agree about the terpenes, though that little slice of alchemy is one we haven't jumped into yet. Isolate and synthetic cannabinoids come with unwanted side effects. Why bother when they can be bred to the desired ratios and get the advantage of the entourage effect.

I have one. I'll begin to use it more often.
ok!! finally located my electronic scale..
was where I left it!
my gel caps weigh 0.1 gm each and hold approx 0.3 gm decarbed finely ground herb.

Will this method work for me if there's a little condensation forming on the back wall of the mini fridge? Temp is 45° and RH is 38%
wipe it dry when you open the fridge- it will help...its the moisture from inside the fridge from the air and herb

Well it's empty at the moment DrZiggy, just have the hygrometer in there to make sure the conditions are good, have about two weeks until the chop.
some small fridges have a mini freezer that will ice up quickly when humid out.
I use Dawn (and HOT water) to was nicotine/tar off the walls of rooms where people have smoked for decades (often with their windows shut :icon_roll ) before painting them. Probably "a little" harsh for the application.
What is this salad spinner critter, anyway? I'm picturing the thing I use to spin my roller pad out after washing it if I'm too poor to buy multiple ones and need to clean it so I can change paint colors. I think if I took a bud outside and tried to spin it dry with that, I'd end up sending it over the fence and into the neighbor's lap. Which would be rather unfortunate, because he's "anti-" everything. I don't think he drinks coffee. I know, must be an alien in disguise, right?
I suppose I could do a web search.
Huh. It sent me to post #1,727. But that post opened with:
...and then immediately mentioned "paranoia." So it's all good, lol, and feels like home
.I was originally referring to that garbage they make in China for the production of "fake cannabis." I've been known to rant against that stuff, especially after I once saw a guy smoke some of it and immediately end up... well... it was like watching the slowest (and longest) epileptic fit, ever. I didn't know whether to jam a branch into his mouth, try to sell him to the local art place as a semi-animated sculpture, or to ask one of the youngins how to upload a video to YouTube :rolleyes3 . And then the dumb@ss snapped out of it 20 minutes later and asked the other people there if they wanted some. Yep... The human race is doomed. Doomed, I say, doomed. And the last surviving idiots won't be able to scrape up enough functioning brain cells between them to write the story of our downfall to serve as a warning for whichever species evolves next (just in case we manage to kill each other off before reaching the point of runaway climate change that causes the planet to truly become... Venus' sister and make the existence of life impossible).
More and more breeders are including analysis reports with their strain information, and some of them list terpine content, too. I think I mentioned (earlier in the thread) ending up looking at such things on Ace Seeds' website the other night. I was pretty impressed with the amount of information presented about their strains in that regard.
Yes, people are breeding high-CBD strains these days - and that's great. But there are at least 113 different identified cannabinoids in cannabis. Who, exactly, is breeding to increase #73 while decreasing #62, #11, and #s 101-104, in order to see what kind of benefits might come from consuming the bud?
There remain about 420,000,000,000,000,000 hours worth of research to be done. And I'm not getting any younger, lol. I wish I'd silenced that little voice that always whispered, "You can't afford to have children, ya boob." Mom used to say (well... shout) that she wished I'd have a couple kids who turned out to be just like me. IDK about that - but I'm sure they would have been curious about... many things <SIGH> .
Oh well, off to mow!

But it will not be an issue, correct?

Shouldn't be a problem, I've been using a small fridge like that for months with no issues. Maybe after this run of drying I will defrost it, but to this point it hasn't effected the process 1 bit.

I have a basement refrigerator that I plan to use in trying this drying method out. My only issue is humidity. Temp is 42 degrees, but humidity is only 16% when I first open the door.
Should I try to put something in there to raise humidity, or just give it a try as is?

The volume in the fridge effects rh and temp...toss in the herb, or some water bottles if you need to test it, Rh will go up

Humidity will rise, but 16% is too low a starting point. Do what you can to get humidity up to 45-50%.
I added a Tupperware with water and a rag half in and half out...took my Rh up from 20s to 40s.. but once the wet bud was in, the Rh stayed higher

So you're suggesting that regardless you can start with low humidity, compensate for it as much as possible and then jump right into the game? Makes sense. You'd be watching the humidity levels as the dry progressed, so if it dropped too low you could adjust at that point.

Eleven days into the dry. Yesterday I noticed all but the largest jar, which holds the largest buds, had no moisture buildup on the inside of the glass at all.
