Cannatrol Cure Cool System

Did another wash and got a better result out of 160 bag.
I will be doing another wash very soon.
Temperature has been 30-34 in my shop and very little ice is needed.
The bubble in picture is in freezer .

I have the CC set up just like drying wet flower on factory default.

I froze it to make it easier to transfer and be on the same dry times but I didn’t grind it up with SS strainer .
I don’t have any rubber gloves and it gets sticky from finger tip warmth very quickly even when frozen.
With 3 batches there’s probably about 300grams wet.
It should be a good test for device.
I still have more to wash but I’ll wait until these are all dry.

The first batch I put in the device 10.5 days ago color has went from very light to dark shades of brown but now it’s starting to lighten up.


The first picture is from 6 days ago and second from today.
I was expecting the darker shades of brown from oxidation but going from dark shades to lighter I wasn’t expecting.

Interesting findings CBDcure, I would expect the same as you say.
It should become darker as it dries out and pherhaps also more oily looking.
How is the smell evolving?
 
The aroma has been getting strong since the last 3-4 days. It’s got a smell similar to fully cured flowers but a smoke smell comes and goes.

I pinched a dark brown chunk and it crumbled into a sandy sticky flat pile.
Then I squished it back together and it stuck together more tightly,

Here’s a few pictures of what I’m trying to describe. The wide flat light sandy pile was a dark chunk before I pinched it.
The second picture is the flat light sandy pile from the first picture pressed back together into a small clump.

I think it finally is fully dry.
The way it feels is unique and hard to forget.
It’s good to know the CC system will fully dry bubble without freezing it or grinding it up with SS mesh sifters.

I have my more recent hash collection drying with the CC settings modified.
I only changed the dry and cure periods from 4 days to 5 days each.Everything else is on default factory parameters.

It has 2 days left of the cure cycle and it’s still not dry yet.
 
This particular collection is taking longer unless it’s dry by middle of tomorrow which is day 11.
Even the 1mm thin pieces are still too wet and bendy.
I reset the device to the beginning of dry and cure.
So instead of going to hold mode now after 5/5 days of dry/cure it’s going to repeat 4/4 again.
I will just keep a close eye on it so I don’t over dry it.If over drying is possible with the system in dry/cure settings.

Just a thought, not all hash turns into a solid state.
I've had plenty of bubble hash that stayed bendy and pliable even many months after making.
Oil content and the strain/pheno certainly plays are role also.
I don't believe you can overdry resin heads neither but I have not tried to do so, so I can't be certain.
Let us now how it turns out.

Thanks.

Thanks,
Appreciate the experience and feedback.
The flowers were a very oily haze.

I contacted Cannatrol asking if it was possible to over dry extending the 4/4 days but keep other values on defaults.
They said as long as the sponge doesn’t dry out there’s no chance of over drying.
I was a bit worried about the first batch being too dry.
 
Here’s a picture of the first batch I dried. I’m satisfied that it is fully dry.
I put on some rubber gloves and started pinching until it crumbled and it then lightly rubbed turns into finer sift but still will stick if compressed.
The rubber gloves really help keep the heat from fingertips reaching the hash and getting into a sticky mess .
I don’t know if I could smash the pieces between parchment without it tearing holes in it.
I’ll be turning this sift into a temple ball.

The ball just didn’t turn out like I hoped.
It melted but it didn’t have enough moisture to hold itself together barely.
I applied heat and rolled it thin seeing it melt and curve hugging the bottle but I am almost certain it was over dry.
I’m glad I didn’t use the whole batch.

I decided to give the other batch that has been drying for 12 days decarb and roll a temple ball.
Much better.Wasn’t too dry.
The first batch was disappointing and just wouldn’t melt very well but the second melted until transparent.

I’m drying another batch and this time I sifted it.
I froze the batch to keep it moist but I let it thaw out before I sifted it.
It sifts very easily and quickly when it’s freshly made.
This time I will be drying it sifted as pictures show.
I have the settings at 65F and humidity 50% with sponge out.
I’ll just have to keep a close watch on it.

This seems to be working much better than in a thin patty.
The tray was empty when I started just 5 hours ago and I don’t have the sponge in the device.
The humidity of the device was 54% when it started,is set to 50%,but it reads 48% inside.
I’m going to slow down the dry or put the sponge in device.
It’s drying a bit too fast and the sponge should keep it from drying past 50%.
That’s a lot of water to come from 8 tablespoons of hash or.

It’s only been approximately 12 hours.
I put the sponge in about 3 hours ago and settings are all back to factory default parameters.It was drying out too fast at the lower humidity settings.
I will be sifting it again around 24 hours.
The picture doesn’t show it well but it’s shrunk down in size.

I was able to get 98% of the hash to sift through by just tapping on the SS sifter.
There’s a few BB size chunks that won’t sift right now on the left upper side.
I think it’ll be dry by 24-48 hours.

It is recommended to use 55F and 35% humidity for drying hash.
Unfortunately the device is not capable of those parameters.

I started another batch drying and I set it to 64 F and 52% humidity about 4 hours ago.
Just like the last batch I sifted again.

Finally seeing some consistency using the device but only after sifting.
So far it’s showing very similar behavior in dryness and texture as the previous batch I sifted before drying.
I think it will be fully dry in 48 hours like the previous batch. I will sift again after 24 hours and then again to make sure it’s fully dry.
I store the sifted bubble hash in a glass jar sealed and in the freezer.
