So this is my first post. Just wanted to see if anyone knows about drying inside without an odor? Im staying at my girlfriends house and need to be able to dry my crop without smell! I cut my plant today and trimmed off the leaves, i bought a large storage bin, pretty flat but really long and the buds fit nice. I wanted to use silica gel but couldnt find it anywhere!!! All i could get was damprid. Is there anything to worry about while im using this? any suggestiongs would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Are you saying you are planning on putting the buds in a storage bin after trimming?

i put them in there afterwards yea i put down some fiberglass screen thinkin it would allow the moisture to come off of the buds a little more evenly.

i dont want to quick dry them but i cant have the house smellin like green and it sure would!! i planed on opening the lid and rotating them everyday alomst like im sweating them, but i dont want mold and i need to check on them.

Probably a good bet you'll end up with some mold. You should really either hang them (if on stems) or set them out on a drying screen where there is plenty fresh air circulating. Do you have a closet that you can hang them in and set up a fan nearby (not blowing right on them, that will make them crispy and harsh to smoke)?

Once they are dry enough to go into the bins for curing toss a slice of lemon or orange in the bin a week before finish. This will offset the possibility of a plasticy taste from curing in the bins.

and then into glass jars for cure . you cannot have the smell for a few days ?? if not buy one of those carbon filter drying machines off of ebay

I guess that your girlfriends mother/father must be ok with the idea. Otherwise if he or she is helping you out by letting you stay in their house and you are planning on bringing a substance into their home, in some states that would be cause for seizure of the property. Do the right thing... or the pot gods will fuck you.

haha i no i wasnt with her when i started growing my plant. And i harvested yesterday because hunting season is in and i didnt want someone walking thru where i put my plant and stumble apon it!!! but i cant have any! smell As of right now they dont know its here. I planed on just drying it in the bin and then curing it in mason jars. i just cant hang it anywhere

I built this dryer and have put a sheet of fabric softener over the exhaust, no smell whatsoever.
