you will never take a short cut again unless you are out of weed in which case all bets are off.
@LazyNhazy I have tried it with three different dehydrators. Something you need to understand is I do not smoke anything. I am a reformed tobacco smoker. I have 5 super taster chef friends (I was born in the restaurant business) that smoke and judge my strains using this form. These guys are pros. Every time I snuck in some rapidly dried bud the scores dropped considerably. I did not tell them how it was dried or anything about it other than the strain until after the test.That's how I found out it worked. Before saying something isn't right try it out first. That's all I ask, no point in putting down someone's way of doing things if you have never tried it yourself. You can buy a cheapo for less than 30 dollars. Chop a nug and try it, what's it going to hurt? Besides everyone's ego who has put it down?

SMOKE TEST COMMENTS:
I thought that was mandatory .wowzer! ...um, can me jus skip all that, and well, jus be high-? :smoking: ppp
What dehydrator do you have that lets you go down to the 70’s? Lowest I’ve seen them go is 90fDehydrator has a thermostat and doesnt even kick on until night when temps drop below about 72. As far as smell goes I cant help. I just make sure I dont have any guest that day. Another plus for the dehydrator, faster dry means lees time with house smelling.

J from smoke cut yesterdayView attachment 1096295
White ash
And the bud after. View attachment 1096297I dont even trim, just chop dry and roll on trays to trim
They don't sell them anymore, if searched and found the same. I'm betting a dehydrator with the heat disabled would do just as good.What
