i will be harvesting my one outdoor plant around oct. 15. i am building my own drying box, but was wondering about my air and heat source. would a blow dryer work or is that too hot? what about low setting? or removing the heating element altogether? please help!

Hi poke...

If you hang your plant on a a few clothes hangers in a dark, DRY, closet with a temperature of 75 degrees.... your plants will dry FINE..

this is the easiest way to dry...


If you use a blow dyer or lights or any outside assistance to speed the drying time you will severley effect the quality and WEIGHT of your NUGS...

I warn you... speedy drying has cost many a poor soul.. thousands and tens of thousands of $$$$ in high grade ganja...

good luck

love

I saw on a vid on youtube where Arjan from Green house took the whole plant and put them in large cardboard boxes and taped them up.

I was curious to see this.

Here is the link.
YouTube - Green House Amsterdam High Times Cannabis Cup Crop 2006

It shows him putting them in boxes at the end.
He said they will cure like that for 4 months for optimum potency.

I was thinking about using a smaller box with holes on the top for my next harvest.

I am just curious about the plant laying on the cardboard or would it be better to be suspended in air in a closet.

Also I usually manicure the plant before I hang for drying.

It looks as if he has combined drying and curing.
