Recent advances in postharvest storage and preservation technology of pitaya (dragon fruit) Pitaya fruit has highly edible, medicinal, and economic value. Currently, pitaya is often used as fresh fruit to meet the market demand of consumers. However, pitaya fruit is prone to mechanical damage, microbial infection, and softening and decay after harvest, affecting the quality and shelf life of fresh pitaya fruit.

How To Dry Cannabis Like a Pro | GCM Drying is the key to great cannabis. Adam Clarke shows how to dry cannabis for lasting quality and enjoyment.

The secret to top-shelf flower? Drying done right!

Keep RH out of the 65–70% danger zone, pull ~25% water/day for the first 2 days. Separate AC (temp) from dehu (RH) and cure.

Consistency = terps + quality.
