What up ppl. We're are in the flowering stage right now, and we wanted to know if you guys thought it was a good idea to build the dryer or dry naturally? and also how long do you think it would take to dry a Hp(estimated) either way? let me know what you think. thx!

the dryer is mainly to reduce smell. but anytime to speed up the drying process, you risk losing flavor and THC. if you can, dry naturally. marijuana take 3-10 days to dry. if you bend a part of the stem while its drying and it just bends and doesnt snap, then its still too wet.

carbon can filter. inline duct fan. duct tape. flexible ducting, preferably in the same diameter as your filter, and your fan.. (6"-250cfm / 8"=500cfm...)
you can make the can filter by having separated, sleeved and perforated (drilled pvc, metal screening, something like that.) tubes that will nest one in the other, with some small space between them . fill that gap with the carbon/charcoal. seal ends. place some filter material on the outside of the filter. either hang or stand the filter in your grow. attach the fan, duct tape to seal it. attach the ducting to the fan. duct tape to seal. route the ducting somewhere inconspicuous, i wouldn't go smaller than the 6" fan unless you're in a bedroom closet or something else tiny.
i have noticed the inline ducting fans can generate some weird, and potentially LOUD HARMONICS. you will have to play around with the distance from the filter end to your fan, the diameter of the fan housing being squeezed or stretched can alter the noise levels dramatically. using padded ducting, and avoiding resting any of the ducting/fan on anything structural, it will turn wall studs into tuning forks..

I'm using a herb dryer i built using a 10 gallon tube and PC fan.... it does dry quick but also loses its flavor..... what works well is leaving the dryer on for 2-3 days straight untill outside of nugs are slightly crispy, then putting the nugs in airtight mason jars for 6-8 hours (airing out every 2 hours), then put back in the herbdryer for 2 more days but set the fan on a timer... turning the fan on every 20mins... check the nugs every day to make sure they dont have mold and not too dry in order to preserve taste... -gt

couldnt you just put in a bunch of desicant to soak up the moisture coming from the drying herb? i mean, wouldnt that make sense? make sure its sealed and put the weed and desicant in the same tub and it shuld suck out the moisture. worth a shot. works for mushrooms

Default Plagiarism: Is it Real or is it Memorex

Excuse me but it so irritates me someone can take a post from elswhere including pics and call it there own. Now if "InjectTruth" is the same person I appologize but it doesn't appear to be. I just found this link dated January 17th of 05; click here to see -> GROWFAQ It's over 1 yr 4 months earlier then this post from Hempgrower, same pics, details, better layout, same thing. "Hempgrower" is probably well down the road, but if not, if you can't be original why even participate. If this is plagiarism, it would lend credibility to this board if those that controlled such a board monitored and took out things like this.

May your crops always flourish
