Well gro peeps, the jury is in on the new dryer. It is bloody awesome, I have now tested three different strains after a dry/cure cycle from ~8 to 10 days at the 68F/57%RH setting recommended by the Cannatrol peeps. Bottom line is that, as far as I can tell, the result is perfect hassle free drying and curing, no bags, no burping, no worry about keeping track of different strains at different timings (it just does not matter how long the bud is in there - it simply cannot over dry, the cure just continues until it has nothing else left to do). Ground bud from this process is soft, sticky, and delicious smelling. I love it, and doubt that I will ever dry and cure any other way. One side advantage is that I will now be able to produce perfect jerky instead of the overdried stuff my Cosori dryer produces. Ditto for anything dried. With this setup a person can customize any drying regime that you need either for the entire process, or at stages, whatever you can think up. And at the end you know with certainty that your product is shelf stable, but not ever overdried. Long standing food science finally applied.
In due course, I will finish off my blog with more detail on the results, including suggestions for making a dryer that works like mine, and under most conditions, produces indentical results to a Cannatrol.
For me, it ain't whether to do this, it is whether to buy one, or make one. We know what I had to try first.
