Dear all,
Last year we dried around 300kgs of flowers on racks in a cow barn. This year we are considerably upscaling out harvest - to try to achieve around 10t of dried material.
We are looking into machinery to do this as our indoor space is limited. Being in the UK, it is also fairly wet and cold in autumn and not ideal humidity to dry the bud.
I have been researching machinery such as belt conveyor driers that are typically used to dry grasses and leaves. Obviously this will be a much more active drying system than previously with higher temps. Maybe around 40-50 degrees celsius (100-120 fahrenheit), but I am hoping that it will be a reasonably quick and effective way to dry the flower heads.
What thoughts do people have about how this might impact on the CBD content of the flowers, if any and any other thoughts about this process?
Any tips, contributions will be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Rob
