Default Drying Boxes??? Anyone have one??? Lacy:)
My hubby wants me to ask you guys and gals if any of you have a dry box of any kind and if so what you think of them?

What are the advantages?
Are they worth it?
Do they really work?

I could see a lot of advantages of a drying box especially if you have a lot of bud to dry. It would eliminate a lot of possible mold etc, save time, lessen the odour etc.

Whatcha think of them?

So far i have never had any probs with using a cardboard box to be honest.
If the buds are huge and you fear mould then add a packet of silica gel or a disposable dehumidifier.
I always let the soil dry right out before i chop them down so molds never an issue for me anyway.

The best reason i can see for a drying box is speed and the lack of smell.
All the ones i have seen on youtube and pot-tv look good though and i haven't heard anyone complain about them so far.

If you have a lot of weed to dry then they will definitely be useful

Thanks natmoon.

Yes normally I would let my plants dry right out thoroughly before cutting themn down but last year I had 3 weeks of rain before I chopped mine down. Not the best harvesting weather so some of my bud got bud rot and I had to throw it out.

Hubby is worried I am going to be doing the same thing but these are all indoor plants so it is completely different. I normally dry mine in a cardboard box as well shake the box up a few times a day for about 10 days.

Thanks Natmoon.
I'm not big on the idea but hubby thinks we need one.

Moocho gracious!!!!

Default Thanks
Thank you very much loudblunts.

Hubby was interested in building one if it was worth it.
It was more of his question but a good one all the same.

Hey dude, I haven't seen you around in a while.
Thanks for the info.
I think something like a drying box would be idea especially if you have different type of buds growing. I always manage to mix mine up while I have it either hanging or in boxes. And then i don't have a clue what is what.

I am learning so much here from all of you.

You guys are the best
