so there is no possible way for me to dry inside or with electricity. any good ideas to dry outside?
im thinking about hanging the buds up and letting them air dry, if it rains i'd put them in a tupperware tub with baking soda in it untill the humidity comes down.

also whats your opinions on paperbags? it seems like its easyer to do that then burp jars, that'd be hard for me to do since i'd have to walk to my grow site.

No way to cure inside huh? If your grow area is secure, I think I would set up some kind of tent, like a 4 man or 6 man sleeping tent. Throw a tarp over top so it stays nice and dry and have a good amount of air circulation. You could also rig up some kind of poor man's electricity set-up to be able to put a fan in there, like grab a fully charged car battery, get a standard power inverter (the kind you plug into a cigarette lighter in your car, and converts power to 120AC so you can plug in computers, or whatever), those things usually come with clips you can attach to a battery, plug the fan in and you got air. But I have no idea how much power that inverter draws, so it might kill the battery in a matter of hours. Never tried it, just seems like it might be an option, but then again I am pretty BLAZED right now.....you could also try to find a fan that is designed to be used on the 12v DC current of a car and just wire that straight to the car battery, bypassing the inverter all together, if it is a low watt fan, than it could run for a while on a single car battery.

ok the tent i dea is a pretty good one i'll prolly have to camo it up but thats np. i think i'll google to see how long a dc fan will work on a car battery. does it have to be an extreme amount of air fo them to dry?

no...just not stagnant air. If you use a tent and leave the windows open, you will probably be fine with the wind. I just know from camping experience that the ventilation of a standard tent typically sucks.

if the weathers good & your in a place with trees you could climb a tree & hang them if no critters get them youll be good no one looks up

I like Beardoz suggestion, put it in a tree like a bear bag! That would probably work though. 2121 there is no way to harvest then transport the bud out to another location to dry?

its not that i can't take it any where its just that i can't go indoors with it. i was thinking about hanging the bud in a tree and camo the paper bags up. but my luck it would rain. just wanyed to make sure that drying outside is ok. this spring will be my first grow. and im all about go big or go home, im tryin about 10-15 plants. hopefully that'll last me through the winter lol
