Ideas for Drying Box

I need a non-stink box to dry my jerky in.

I was thinking cardboard, no air flow.

Will this do or mildew?

you need airflow....not a lot, but enough to get rid of the stale air in the box at least every 5 minutes....so at least a hole near the bottom for air intake, and a computer fan or small table fan up near the top to pull air through the box. Obviously not blowing directly on your drying buds, but enough to keep circulation around them. Mold/mildew will develop otherwise. And you need to have some kind of way to tell the humidity inside, so get yourself a hydrogemeter or something and try to keep humidity below 65%.

dry your jerky? lol


your idea is a for sure way to get moldy bud. there is no "smell free dry" short of buyinh another or DIYing a carbon filter and attaching a fan. i woudl use the good old paper bag method and stick it in with the plants so your buds stink will get filtered. pick a cool shaded area in the grow tent.
