Hey guys, so I am currently in the process of my first grow but I am coming to think about harvesting and drying. I can't really bring it home to dry so I want to dry on location. But I wondered if this is possible? I have tried to see as much as I can about the whole process but a little help would be appreciated, If I were to trim on location and then dry there how would I do this and how long would it take? and after that could I place the bud in mason jars to come home? Thanks in advance
(Im in the U.K btw if you need to know that)

I would hand strip all of the big fan leaves off & then hang the entire plant up in a tree. In a week it will be dry enough to strip the buds off the branches & take the buds home & trim them.......good luck....

You can defiantly dry outside you just don't want light hktting the buds as they dry because the light will degrade the thc, I dried mine outside last year and thought it was a little too fast of a process (about 4-5 days if I remember correct) so it came out a little "airy". But yes it can be done!!!!

Thanks, I had seen that you should dry them then jar them then re dry them and continue this until the buds are dry enough. I think I should be fine to jar it and then bring it home like that. But how would you go ahead drying it each time I take it out the jar?

O.k I am actually growing near-ish a few trees as to provide camouflauge I think I will strip them and hang them in these trees.

How much are you talking about ? If they been grow`n and stink`n there so far you can risk dry`n there too !i Or move a bit over there if you think maybe someone knows. But how much ?

three plants, I'm not too sure what the yeild will be. It is pretty far off the path in a forrest/park think through marshes with metre high plants so it is pretty hidden but I'm tempted to go down first light to put up in the trees so no one sees.

you could potentially do outside. the intial hanging only has to be like 3days-a week.
until everything drys a bit. than u can jar it and bring it home and the smell shouldnt be to crazy.

but while drying outside ull prolly need a cover for possible rain and like a clip on fan maybe to help it dry quicker.

I'm using a big ass carport you park cars in with camo netting over the top along with side windows open and big propane tanks with propane heater tops along with a few battery fans I'm drying 70 plants though should be fun!

you won't need a cover unless it's raining heavy, the tree will shed light rain....good luck....I've seen a lot of weed dried in trees.....
