Drying advice

[moley27]

Hi,

 

My plants are ready to hang out and dry. Unfortunately there is nowhere for me to hang them. Is it right I can put them into brown paper bags? I'm sure I read this somewhere as an alternative to hanging them up in my damp and cold dark shed. 

Thanks

That is a way that people do it/have done it yeah, I remember people using shoe boxes as well. Are you an indoor grower? Can you not dry in the tent/grow room? 

 

Wherever/however you dry it it's going to absolutely stink, so that space should really be under negative pressure and being exhausted through a carbon filter for security reasons. Would probably be better off to get a small tent, fan and filter wherever you where planning to put the boxes.

A drying box can sometimes help

 

The same idea as drying in a tent,

instead duct it to a tent input to use it's extraction to deal with the smell

I'm growing outside and bringing the girlz into a glass /plastic ceiling room at night. They are in large pots, earth. I've lost a handful of buds to rot. I live alone and quite rural so smell isn't a problem . Drying the bud out in brown paper bags are OK ?

What I’ve done in the past when I’ve ran out of room,

was to use cardboard boxes and layer the buds with newspaper.

 

I’d change the newspaper for fresh dry stuff every couple of days until they were ready to be jarred up

I would personally find a space indoors if stealth is not an issue. However, you don't tell us your exact Country of residence so it's difficult to know what the humidity is at your current location?

Glass/plastic room at night is asking for trouble. You really don't want to fuck things up, especially at the most crucial stage as drying
