will someone please tell me about the brown paper bag method for drying? Im looking into that or if you guys think my growing box would work with the light taken out and fans running. Any help would be very much appreciated!

I've done the bag before, it works really well. Now I just put it behind my fan and let the air pull over it for 4 to 5 days, and then put it in a Jar, and burp for a week or two, until the outside of the weed feels dry to the touch, and the bud fells sticky when squezze, That is all the time it takes to cure, than it is just a matter of drying for months or years, the longer the better. It will dry faster in the brown paper bag though.

I have used the paperbag method to cure my buds this is how I go about it hang to buds to dry 7 to 14 days then when the stalks snap between thumb and finger cut the buds of the stalks then put in the bags the buds that is not the stalks put them in a dry cool place you may want to hang them or just tuck them in a draw or something (NEVER shake the bags ) this will make all the resin glands fall off or become damaged but every few day gently move the buds from the bottom to the top of the bag I like to leave them in the bags from anywhere from a month to 3 months then I will put them in a plastic bag or a glass jar (sorry to disagree with you here hotshot) but the worst thing you can do is use the fan to draw air over the buds you will dry them out to quick and they will still have a green taste and the thc will degrade if I could give you one tip it would be to try and dry your buds out slowly but not to slow or you may get mold the longer you take to dry the buds the better they will taste and the stronger they will be just think you spent 12/13/14 weeks to grow that great bud so spend the time to dry it properly because if not then in my eyes you have just waisted x amount of weeks growing that bud

You don't have to shake the bag so much, just put your hand in and mix them up, because if you don't the outside ones will over dry. JMO, and every thing I have ever read about. If you want to PM me with an address, I will send you some I have cured and dried, then you can judge my buds, but not before. Sorry buddy, never had a problem with fan drying or shaking my bag.
