Some advice on My drying Box

I have always wondered if adding some sort of dessicant to the box would aid at all... at least if you are in a very humid area...

the aim of this box is to dry it as you want to experiment with it.

i like running on a timer for a couple of hours a day .in a few weeks when i harvest again i will be experimenting with running times.

Total time was around 14weeks from planting to smoking.

the idea of using the fans is to keep the air inside from becoming stagnant and to keep it circulating.

The drying box would work without the fans mounted on it but you would ideally need one inside to circulate the air inside the box.

to dry mine i was going to hang it all in the grow tent they are being grown in and just have an extractor fan going and maybe an inlet fan to? do you think this will be ok?

hi rsjay.

yes that should work out fine dont forget the oscilating fan.

i made this box because i couldn't use my closet as i was still growing.

what was your yeild?

Just checking out your thread and I had to laugh when I saw your box ... looks like mine!

The box is snugged up against my grow space, which is a wardrobe. There's a double-wide fan in the bottom of the box that draws air through the louvers in the sides of the box, then blows it into the grow space, and then it get sucked out by a bathroom exhaust fan.



There's one string that wraps all the way around the outside of the box, and the strings that run through the *inside* of the box are wrapped around that outer string. The whole thing's really sturdy, and the strings are very taut. There's just enough circulation to remove the moisture slowly, and the louvers keep the light from the buds, even though the whole contraption is in a dark basement.

That seems like it will work, I was going to suggest using a black garbage bag just like someone else suggested a few posts up. You're main focus should be making sure there's not a drop of light in there, and that its dry but not TO DRY in the box. As long as you focus on those 2 things, you will be fine. Post some pictures when you have everything set up, and when the final product is done with please, im pretty curious as to how it works out for you.

Nice Box design Bud Manstrong

jondamon thanks for the thread

seems like to much to go threw just to dry weed. just find a closet your not using and hang them in there. kinda dumb making a whole contraption, plus the fans will dry out your weed faster. so its not better at all
