Cold-Chain Post-Harvest Processing Guide (JM Method v1.4) Introduction The Cold-Chain drying method works by maintaining a nested series of microclimates — each layer buffering the one inside it. At the outermost level, your fridge chamber provides a stable cold-air envelope (≈ 60 °F / 60 % RH). …

Tools & Equipment You will need the following to run a proper cold-chain drying setup: • A frost-free mini fridge capable of holding a steady 58–62 °F. • An Inkbird ITC-308 temperature controller to regulate the fridge. • An Inkbird IHC-200 humidity controller to manage humidity devices. • A mi…

I just fill the DryDoc, set parameters and turn on for 4-5 days. Don’t worry about over drying as there’s a humidity wick in there to maintain the set level if ambient air is too dry. 4-5 more at different setting cures for the most part, jars get the nod for a long cure and storage. Each jar gets a…

@Growdoc This ensures 13-15 day dry every time. I don’t understand how u can get it that dry that quick without case-hardening? I gotta build one of these just to see it.

I’ve never really seen weed case harden like you would experience with meat or something like that. Before I had anything to control drying conditions my nugs would get pretty crispy quick hanging during winter months with ~30% ambient rh. But if you tossed them in something like a trash bag the int…

[image] IsItSticky: I don’t understand how u can get it that dry that quick without case-hardening It’s because it works on dew point and the buds dry at a steady rate from inside out without crisping the outside. Mine finish at 60 percent humidity and usually stabilizes at 62 in the jars for…

And to sweeten the deal you just started a new fad. Pizza flavored weed! I can’t wait to try the Hawaiian Pizza Grandaddy Purple! [1000022541] Sorry had to do it. Carry on.

It will eventually equalize but the hay smell is still locked into the outer shell, no? That’s the “case-hardening”

I’ve never had that happen. I would suspect it to be more of an issue if just drying for too long and internal moisture is gone too before chlorophyll has an opportunity to break down. The hay smell is supposedly the chlorophyll degrading, and you need that to happen. But there’s multiple ways to sl…
