So you say you run 14-17 hrs is that in the drying stage or total run time with freezing process. Have you kept the same setting since you made this post? I just did my first run last night to today and itās solid but always happy to improve

17 hours or so, sometimes longer. Iv noticed it works much better if itās a full load.
Tell me more! How did your experience go? Have you smoked any yet?

Well I didnāt do any added dry time so my machine tried to shut off way early so I ended up adding more time to get about 17 hrs out of it. The buds came out nice little crispy on the outside I thought at first. I tried it right away of course. Smoked solid good taste nice smell so success. However I grove bagged it up and then checked on it today and felt like the humidity was a little high and the buds no longer had any crispyness maybe felt a little moist now. I threw in a beveda pack 62% in each bag to hope it doesnāt have any issues. Maybe shoulda dried longer?

Youāre not alone. Iv done that multiple times. Iv found if I donāt load enough into the machine it didnāt sense enough moisture and shuts down before it should.
Donāt be afraid to add extra dry time,
This is probably the only instance where over drying the bud wonāt harm it.
Add the moisture back to your liking and grove them up for a week or so, they will come alive.

Right on yeah I figured thereād definitely be a learning curve to this but for a first run Iām pretty happy. How have you determined weather itās done or not when itās cold when it comes out

Have you ever ran product twice. So today I notice my buds are much more moist and I have higher humidity in my grove bags even with a boveda packet in there. Curious if I should let them ride or throw them in for another rip in the machine

Iv definitely ran them twice because it wasnāt dried enough the first time.
No harm.

Iāve done like 3 runs now through it and so far so good. So far Iāve felt the freeze dried stuff is hard to stay lit so Iām hoping that gets better as it cures longer. I was also a little past where I wanted to be drying but they came right back with a boveda pack the look is amazing tho

I decided to cure the old fashion way. I ended up with way more than I anticipated so the freeze dryer would have taken a long time to process it all. I did some test but without changing the firmware it was ā¦ mehā¦ so so.
Whatever the latest version for the pharma unit is should be the ticket.

Please let me know. Right now Iām experimenting on one plant with a brand new Medium HomPro model. I set it down to -20 and set it to dry at 40Ā° for 17hr. It ended up hitting almost -40 anyways. Iām just concerned i canāt set the moisture level down to 12% like you did. I can send you my email or if you can post/dm it here that would be a life saver.
