    Help makeing a dry box

    Alright so iv seen people drying in a card board box but half them say put holes in it with a fan blowing through and half say dont use the fan. So just trying to see if anyone drys this way and seeing if you could tell me how. So i could steal your method and dry these buds out when i harvest and get good potent buds to cure

    This here is the dry box I used for my very first grow a while back. It measures 31" x 21" x 12' deep. I first used it to quickly hide my plant (which was in early veg and was during the dark cycle) from an unexpected guest lol. I just wanted to quickly place it over the plant without disturbing it. Worked like a charm. Anyway, after removing the box, I decided to just use it as a dry box as well. I made the holes, slid some thin rope across the inside top twice, made a tight knot, burned the tip of the knot a bit and did the same for the one middle rope. Since I was growing just one plant, that’s all I basically needed. Then I placed the box in a very dark corner of the room I had prepared for it. Now I just hang them to dry in the same room I grow them in. No box needed.

    As far as fans go, I didn’t want my buds to dry too quickly, so I had a very small fan hitting the walls, which then just barely reached the buds. You have to feel them every day to make sure they’re not drying too fast though. If they are, then either move the fan away, turn down the setting, or turn it off altogether. I guess it also depends on how many buds you're trying to dry. A couple of plants I guess a small fan to no fan will do. If you have good air circulation in the room you're drying them in, then you may not even need a fan. Large quantities of buds I'm guessing may require a fan or two.

    Morning Graff420, the box your talking about might be alot alot better, but i have always mostly just hung mine in dark closet with a little air from a fan blowing against the wall, but not directly on those killer buds. Good Luck with box though.

      Hey Graff, I'm just about to chop and one plant may beat the other two be a few days. I bought a uhaul wardrobe box for about $12. This box is the size of a refrigerator and comes with a bar to hang from. My plan is to put the box right next to my tent. Cut a 4" hole and use a short piece of flexible ducting from the box to a tent intake port. that way the smell should go into the tent and out the exhaust. For intake I'm cutting a rectangle at the bottom front of the box. I was thinking of using the cut out piece of cardboard as a valve to try to regulate the airflow into the box. But, I may be chopping all 3 at once and not use the box. I should know within a few days. If I use it, I'll take some pictures and post it with my results.

        Sheesh, that's an awesome idea. I saw a 6 tier clothing hanger at Walmart for $6. That inside the box should work great for me in the future. Thanks for sharing.

          So should i use a fan or no fan iv got them in a box in my grow tent with a few breathing holes its at 50% RH got it to stableize finally and room temp is 75°. Iv got the light running to keep my auto growing too thats why i needed the box here is one box in the picture the more packed one. My question is would any of you use a fan in this situation or no?

            Dude I would not have them so close together, think swinging free, if they touch each other they will sweat where the moisture is leaving them, then they will mould up dude.

            Iv been watching and rotateing them every 6 hours like a game of musical chairs with my buds to prevent them from getting mold where they do touch for short time they are sittin there
