In full disclosure, nailgunned together, I did rough plane (not flat straight or true), table saw (contractor saw hoping to be a table saw one day) for all but cutting to length. I love building stuff free form, the dimensions werent critical but both boxes are identical because building 2 was the same as building 1. Figure i'll do a nice dovetail one when I find the right wood.

Yeah, not really a fan of blunts. They have their moments though.

I like blunts for car rides cause they are inconspicuous lol for the most part .

fresh harvested was my first grow

its 68f and 55-60% humidity

.. sweet looking first grow!

My humidifier died yesterday but I'm not pissed off because it was the same humidifier I used in my grow at least in the 90s and probably in the eighties, which I packed away with all my grow stuff when I quit in 95. I've been using it the last 3 years so no complaints

Got a couple Zips Hangin now unfortunately, and my RH is now 56 with no way to adjust it so I'm jarring early and I had more to harvest last night (dead ripe) but I'm harvesting it tonight because my new humidifier coming via Amazon Prime tomorrow so it should be okay hanging with no humidity control for maybe 12 to 18 hours

But now that I'm controlling the humidity in my drying area I don't ever want to go back to the old way, it's such a huge difference in finished product!

Every October/November the coastal air in California is dry (5-25% RH), which is also harvest time. My drying box is a 50" x50" x 79"h grow tent. I hang 2x4 wire from the ceiling, and use Home Depot clips (35¢ ea.) to hang the bud-sticks. For humidity, I soak a large beach towel and wring it out, then hang it by clothes pins inside the tent and zip the front of it up 3/4 of the way closed. Then I aim a clip fan at the opening from 6ft. away to keep air just moving. I like to see the bud-stems sway slightly in the breeze. The outside RH may be 10%, but inside the tent it's 50%, which is a fine drying RH. I'll need to remove and re-soak and squeeze the towel every day, but the wet towel beats a humidifier attempting to re-humidify the entire San Diego county on a daily basis.
And the fellow with the moniker "cold smoke" has the right approach. Every morning I load-up a tall insulated mug with ice. I break that ice up with the wooden end of a screwdriver and pack my double-percolating bong every time before I light the pipe with a beeswax wick. Never, ever, inhale "hot" anything, especially smoke. Cold smoke is the only healthy smoke, and it cuts congestion by 80%, at least.

Came across this while researching drying methods. Has anyone used one of these? It would be very easy to DIY with an inkbird humidity controller which can be found for like 30 bucks.

This would only work if the humidity outside the box was lower than inside. Otherwise you’ll just pull in more humid air and the thing will run non stop.

Mine is laughable. It's basic recycled twine running across the studs in the basement. Hang the stems on there 3 days or maybe 4 and then trim the buds down and into the jars they go.

Yes that's what a dehumidifier is for if that time of year is present. Add a humidifier if dry in winter and a dehuey in the summer if RH Is too high. This thread is about setups not basics. Let's see what you got.

Lol ok guy. Why tf would you want the box if you have a dehumidifier and humidifier etc? check my grow journal guy. You’ll see my setup. If your environment is in check then all you need is string or wire and a place to hang it across and you’re done. I simply pointed out that the linked video was a worthless design as it was a give in that you’d need humid and dehumid units at which point this box would be pointless.

12 days flower. Will dry in the same room.

I Use these with a fan blowing over the top, not directly on them , then open and turn every day.
