It’s all dried and in jars now for storage, paroled from trim jail.
I trimmed it all because I knew it would be close to my best harvest (1.1lbs) from my 3x3 space, and I wanted an accurate trimmed weight.
I came up just short at 433 grams or 15.46 ounces between the four plants.
Plus 2-3 ounces of larf, popcorn, and trim for hash, and a couple grams of dry sift from the Trimbin.
Very happy with this grow in general. Probably the happiest plants I’ve grown. Nice yield, good looking bud, just needs to cure for 30 days before a sample.
I dried at 60F/60% for 12-14 days using an Ac and dehumidifier

Love it. 433 is a very good number. Well done.
I like the DIY dryer. I'm trying to figure that out. I've wondered if a small Ac would work. I can't work out the box or drying area. The retail dryers I have looked at are overpriced and too small IMHO. Could you help a brother out and share your setup?

Thanks guys
At this point I’m lucky to have a small spare bedroom as my dry space. In that room I have a window AC and a full sized dehumidifier. If you have those three things it becomes easy to hold 60/60 as long as he outside temps are above 16-18c (60-65f) so it’s warm enough for the AC to operate.
Normally I try to dry before the weather warms up so I swap the AC for a 4†in-line fan with temp controller mounted to a piece of Styrofom SM which I stick in the window and that brings in cool air for the dehumidifier to dry out.
When I have a bit more time I’ll post some pics and my older setup which would work if you don’t have a whole room to dedicate to drying of 1-2 weeks

golfnrl this is my old setup.
It’s basically a 3x3 tent with a dividing wall from the 4x3 tent I grow in now to keep the blowing air from hitting the plants directly. Attached to that is a styrofoam “lung roomâ€.
I went through a number of configurations with this basic setup.
I settled on having the deHum in the tent behind the “wall†and a small clip fan in that part as well so air moves even if the deHum is not running
I try to plan my grows and hash making/drying when it’s cold enough outside to not need AC to dry, but it can certainly be part of the set up. Otherwise, as I said above a piece of Styrofoam SM(it’s more rigid than the white foam board), or even plywood provides a place to run ducting from a 4 or 6†in-line fan to bring in cool air and/or out
It worked pretty well I used it a number of years. The whole room is better mind you
A lot of people have good success using their main grow tent, but I don’t want to give up that space as typically I have plants or at least pots of soil in there.

I like it. Thx for sharing. I've been thinking about that foam board and wondering if it would work. I'm with you on giving up grow space to dry. Last winter I set up a small tent in the garage where I have a heater. It was easy to keep the temp at 60 F and the RH was not much a problem either but the setup was in the way and wouldn't work long term. I wish I could draw fresh air into my lung room, but that's not possible, wrong type of windows.

The foam board is very easy to work with(although it pains me to put more foam into the world).I used long bamboo skewers to pin it together in the corners and then tapped the corners with sheathing tape. Worked quite well and if you need to disassemble, just knife down the seams through the tape and use pliers to pull the skewers and take it apart.
