Drying questions

So this is my first harvest.

I built a bud box a few weeks back when bored.
It measures 52x49x24cm.
In the top corner there is a 90mm 12v PC fan working as an EXHAUST.
At the bottom of the box are 4 intake holes.
Inside are 4 rows of string to hang buds on.
Whether the fan is on or off humidity stays around 45-55% and temps 65-75oF.
The fan has 3 settings: 12v, 6v and OFF.

How often should I have the fan on for? I have no idea how much air it displaces but it only creates a gentle circulation inside the box.

Here are a few photos

I would say leave it on the whole time. Im not sure which setting i would use. Have you checked the grow faq for AL B. Fuct's bud dryer? Anyways hes the man to ask on this one. U can ask him in the Hyrdo forum, look the AL B. Fact thread.

That'll work! Run the fans constantly. It will dry in about 6-8 days under ordinary room temp & humidity conds. High RH will slow it way down without any sort of an air heater.

Very nice Staro, I'm impressed I won't offer any advice as I never dried buds in my life (yet) so I'll leave that for those who know. But it looks the business mate, good job. Wishing you all the very best for your upcoming drying season

I run a fuct dryer under 75F and 30% RH and with my 2 120MM fans my buds are literally ready for curing in about 48 hours.

I'm in no hurry to dry the buds.

Quality is the name of the game.

Cheers for the advice

You need not sacrifice any quality to dry as quickly as 3 days, if you add a very small amount of heat to the airflow and control it to 29C.
