Interesting. His process is much more elaborate with the vacuum filtering and the carbon, but it’s all about the Liquidizer for this stuff, otherwise it separates too much to be useful.
I sense a shopping expedition soon in my future.
'Tis the season!

Snapped a couple more pics of the PEa harvest:
Not getting any overpowering smells. Hints of fruit, slight cat piss, and it is a bit peppery. You really gotta get your nose right on it to smell though. Definitely not as "loud" as I was hoping, but she will probably start putting on more stink as she dries & cures.

Those look really sticky, but I'm concerned that they are in a really warm and bright space! Whatcha gonna do about that? My concerns matter

It's lights out until 6am. Temps in there hover between 60-68° overnight. The shed is the only place I have manageable RH. It's hanging around 50%. I had been drying in the garage all day, but we have some weather moving in that is spiking my humidity.Those look really sticky, but I'm concerned that they are in a really warm and bright space!

They are gonna stay out in the shed overnight and I will be reassessing in the morning.
Worst case, I'll leave them drying out there and just hang a blackout curtain.
Temps aren't an issue anymore out there. I don't think I've been above 78° in weeks. I'm enjoying the "winter" down here right now. LoL
It's warmest in the rafters, no?
How about in a cardboard box for darkness?

Hey Preston awesome harvest on the PE! What a haul and some gorgeous buds wow! Keep pumping out those awesome plants my man!

Yeah buddy! I got a perfect box for it too! That'll do! I've been using the attic a bunch for drying, but the RH spiked up to 78% in the garage and 81% in the attic. This front should pass through tonight and be back to normal tomorrow, fingers crossed. I'll shift it back up.
I've got a few ways to get through the drying. I'm just kinda chasing ideal conditions around my house. LoL
Too bad you can't dry back in the Jolene's closet. Would probably stink up your boots house!

Meh... the thought has crossed my mind.
If humidity is still jacked at 7am when I leave for work, that's where everything will go until I get home and check the hygrometers that are now stashed everywhere around the house. LoL
Those damn suckers never stay put. I'm sure I bought 6 but can only find 4 :grrr:

Haha! I find em laying around like spare change. LoL
I've bought 2 of the 5-packs over the last year and can only find a couple when I actually need them. But otherwise, it seems like they are all over the damn place.

Fat cut on that PE man....nice!
Watched your gummy vid again. Wife asked why you had a mask on. I told her you were outlaw. She understood.

I do a quick dry in the dehydrator and then jar cure with boveda to even it out and let it mellow. Haven’t had any grassy taste or hay smell. But I get the harvest washed, dried, and jarred in one day.
Does that leave it with a harsh smoke? Chlorophyll ?

No, it takes longer than a week for chlorophyll to break down, that happens more in the cure. The real purpose of the initial dry is to get the moisture content down low enough so that it doesn’t mold.

Also, I have my doubts that it is chlorophyll in the plant material that causes harshness.
Degradation of chlorophyll is an active enzymatic process that plants go through while they are at either the end stages of life, as our cannabis plants do, or at the end of growing seasons like deciduous plants and trees heading into winter.
Degradation of chlorophyll in harvested plant material, particularly material that has dehydrated to the point where it is no longer “living” tissue, is most likely going to be broken down by either an oxidation process as the material degrades, or by bacterial agents degrading the material.
Considering that the mechanism of chlorophyll breakdown was discovered less than 20 years ago, there is still a lot we don’t know about the process.

Looks like amazing smoke. I'm happy if there is no overwhelming stink. You have a lot of other stinking sources in your temple also.
Interesting!
Looks like a nice Christmas with pineapple hanging there.
Sh... Don't let SWeeD here you....
