    Drying without a drying rack?

    So I just found out we're moving soon (as in Dec 3rd) and I need to chop and dry one of my plants. Problem is, I can't find my drying racks and there isn't a good place to hang them anyway (anyplace with good airflow isn't dark, and anyplace dark has little to no airflow). Anyone have suggestions for a 'stealth' dry, or at least a compact, easy-to-transport way that I can start the process? This yield will be pretty low and I plan to use it more for tincture/cannabutter than smoke.

    CoM Stonington Blend soil, distilled water; Liquid Squid amendment if needed, molasses for flowering

    Someone I know uses banker boxes strung inside with fishing line and he lays the branches across and puts a lid on it. He does live in an arid climate and it works for him. You could poke holes in the top like you caught a lizard and then tell everyone whatever you have in there bites.

      Not necessarily 'not so great'; the strain is good (Silver Surfer), but this one spent her entire life in a windowsill (prob got way less light than she needs); I was out of town when she started flowering and my mom didn't know what to do so we missed at least one round of soil amending.

    We actually do have paper grocery bags up the yin-yang...up until about 2 months ago reusable bags were banned statewide and most towns here have banned plastic bags. I like the banker box idea and we definitely have those.

    My banker boxes. Here you go. Easy to stack, transport etc. Cut the colas at about 7-9 inches and hang on the lines. When no longer wet and not too dry, trim and jar up. Burping till cured. $2. per box, cheap! Good luck, and enjoy!

      Try the fridge in paper bags, works well.
      Learned a lot this year. pH and whiteflies are issues that need controlling. Maybe an auto over January.....hmmmm...
