Try putting a piece of Lettuce inside, but not touching the weed. You can use a magnet and piece of metal between the lettuce and the lid to keep it up from the flower. Orange peel, piece of apple peel all work. Have heard that a piece of taco is good too. (never tried that one)
I would imagine the celery would produce a lot of moisture. I put a carrot slice less than 1/8 th of a inch thick padded hard with paper towels brought the moisture up quicker than i thought. Anyone have any incite as to how well weed will cure in the mid 50's RH range?Celery works the best! I recharge my bovedas with 1 stalk in a quart jar. Works excellent and it takes a really long time to mold. You'd have to forget it for a while.........and that is possible, lol.
I can not find a patent number to this unit plus i do not think Herbs now dryer is a registered trade mark. @SSGrower do you see anything on this tag that would indicate a patent number. I bet there is more to this story that we don't know.I wonder if he sold out, as in sold the company. Can you guys find a patent no. on the untis? Alternatively was he infringing on someone elses patent?
No most I can derrive from that is intertek looks like a testing body certifying the unit is food safe. I am leaning more towards the the unit violates something like the patent for a low temp dehydrator and shipment was siezed in customs. It just dosent smell right feels like an experiment attempt to fly under radar. I am not happy with some things greenleaf does but that dosent necessarily mean they make a bad product.I can not find a patent number to this unit plus i do not think Herbs now dryer is a registered trade mark. @SSGrower do you see anything on this tag that would indicate a patent number.

@Buzzer777 question for you while i am thinking about it. On the HN dryer i think i remember one of his painful videos that the unit would dry even from top to bottom. Is that your experience as well? The reason i ask was the last load i dried was a bit uneven but i had three different strains in there. The strains on top were more moist but not sure if it was dryer or strain related.Just noticed..it isn't even a registered TM..it just shows TM which means nada.

I was fairly certain it was strain related but i wanted to check.@Capt. C
It's been quite a while since I loaded all the trays full, but TBH, I don't remember an uneveness. I usually try to only dry one strain at a time, but I guess that it's a possibility with multiple strains with different bud hardness and size.
That's just my opinion..I THINK that it has to do with how the warm air circulates thru the buds, and how long it takes the moisture (and some chlorophyl) to leave those buds.I was fairly certain it was strain related but i wanted to check.
The Herbsnow dryer is also one setting for temps (ON)..It is supposedly set to a temp between 75-80d F. It looks loke a reworked Presto food hydrator to me, and I have a batch "cooking" in it right now. Haven't hung anything since I have owned mine.This herbs now dryer looks a lot like my old ronco dehydrator. The difference looks like the digital interface and a better ability to adjust temp. The ronco is simply "on" @ one temp and the drying rate is adjusted thru the top venting. I still have that dehydrator here somewhere........since it's only resistance maybe I can put a rheostat switch on her.
This ones from approx 2005...................and unchanged for the most part from the first Ronco I got circa '84. Both make/made excellent jerky. I'm gonna have to see about digging that puppy up and see if she'll work for drying.
@Buzzer777 what is your take on the amp pulse that i spoke of on post # 70 of this thread.The Herbsnow dryer is also one setting for temps (ON)..It is supposedly set to a temp between 75-80d F.

Dehydro™ Digital Electric Food Dehydrator
Dehydrates fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Makes great jerky and fruit rolls too.www.gopresto.com
@Capt. C@Buzzer777 what is your take on the amp pulse that i spoke of on post # 70 of this thread.
I have been looking at a few with settings below 90d F, just for when my Herbsnow gives out. lowest that I found went down to 86 if I recall, but most have 95 as the lowest setting. Yours looks to have a mechanical temperature knob and if so should be easy to modify to go even lower.Late to this thread, but intrigued.
I use something very close to this all the time for food:
The lowest reading on the dial is 35c/95f but it can be turned quite a distance below that. I just threw a few small branches in there on low and set a timer for an hour. Could be a handy method.
Plz keep us posted on your results..
@Capt. C
I really don't know, but @jaguarlax has been using a regular food dehydrator (by Instapot) that has a lower setting than most and seems happy with the results.
Is it possible that the amps pulse as the heater switches on and off?
Last time I looked, his domain was for sale and Herbsnow is history (I think)
It would appear the heater can be dialed right off. After more than enough time to be completely adjusted to ambient inside the dehydrator, the thermometer read 21C.Plz keep us posted on your results..
