According to fick's law, the more moisture that's in your flower, the more water it will diffuse faster. This means that almost 80% of the water in your plants is gone in the first phase (constant rate)of drying, which, condition depending, can be the first 18 hours to ..🙄3 days according to *Challa 2020-KINETICS AND THE EFFECTS OF DRYING METHODS ON QUALITY OF (C*****s s****a L.) BUDS* Water adhesion principals state that with the surface moisture evaporated, water is less susceptible to the evaporative forces applied on it (falling rate). During this falling rate, your 60/60 is far less effective at pulling water than it was during the constant rate (which still wasn't ideal). Once we enter the second phase of drying, or the falling rate; dehydrated surface exposure, along with low water activation energy in that dehydrated flower means dramatically increased secondary metabolite oxidization. In effect, from this moment forward, that PSM count is going DOWN The longer we keep it on the rack, and not into cure, the faster this will happen In the study *(Basel). 2022- Postharvest Operations of C*****is and Their Effect on C****binòid Content: A Review, it was shown that significant secondary metabolite loss occurred at temperatures higher than 40°c . Below this number, the rate of degradation was relatively constant. As referenced in the above studies. The difference in secondary loss between drying at 71° vs. 77 or even 89° tends to be only 1–2 % with a net positive moisture loss, whereas time driven degradation over days to weeks can account for 30 % total loss or more. Meaning that temperature does affects secondary volatility, but the timing of drying matters WAYYYYY more So how am I drying these? Day 1 - 72°f 55% Day 2 - 72°f 55% Day 3 - 74°f 52% Day 4 - 75°f 50% Day 5 - 75°f 50% See the article on and citations. Share, repost, follow. Still not convinced? Google "sharkmouse drying" on Google and see what reddit has to say!
