Getting ready to harvest in a couple weeks and been thinking of constructing a simple dry box that can be out in plain view and still be effective.

I was at Wallyworld w/ the wife and kids and saw plastic totes on sale and had to give this idea a shot.

I drilled vent/intake holes in the box, drilled smaller holes ner the top to run some string through and cut a hole to mount a computer fan that will be pulling air. Just have to setup a cheap DIY carbon filter and she's ready to go i think.

Seems like a good setup in theory, we'll see in a few weeks if it does in the real world.

Looks just like the one on Ebay I almost bought for $100!

Funny you posted that, i said to the ball and chain last night "know what baby, i bet there's someone selling these on Ebay or something for $75"

This is the one I was talking about. I think it might cost this much due to the carbon filter it comes with....still not worth 100 though! Market that and give em' some competition!

can i get some specs on that carbon filter? what pc fan rating? cheers

nice it should work just fine man

Am I missing something here ? It looks like the fan pulls air from one side of the outside of the box and pulls it through to the other side without ever pulling air from inside the box?

Mipbar, with a box that small, you don't need an intake fan. The holes drilled into the box are enough for intake, and the exhaust fan will create a vacuum to pull the air throughout the whole box. My 2'x4' grow tent only has an exhaust fan, no intake fan just yet (could only afford one at a time LOL); the vacuum is quite enough to keep everything moving.

I actually emailed the person who made it with the same question when I was thinking of buying it. The lid (not pictured) has little holes drilled all over, and like Kat said with a small enough box it creates a vacuum.

Update:

I ran it through a test run using a Male and a stunted female.
I switched the fan around to exhaust and it worked great....
Its now got some decent size colas in it that I harvested last night, so they seem to be drying nicely, not too fast not too slow.
