    Default Just wondering if this DIY drying box would do?

    Hello all, made this yesterday while very stoned.. Would it work? Harvesting a small yielding plant today just before lights on at 4:20 and wanted to put it in this.

    Got a dehumidifier, a small silent fan just outside the box with an intake hole, and some string to hang branches from, and the plants would be in complete darkness. There are also small holes for air flow and a bigger hole in the top as an exit hole for the air. Temps running 21-24 Celsius and RH is 45-55%.

    Any advice or observations would be appreciated, thanks!

    For some reason, I cannot get the pictures to upload as they were taken, so sorry for all the painful necks!

    Hi milk man , I like the idea , although having the fan and dehumidifier so close may dry your buds to quickly, a slow dry would work best

    Mate I dunno how good an idea it is as im pretty new to all this but I used that exact box on my 1st harvest and what I did was cut a small slot outta it on one side and on the other side a circle. I then got a cardboard cylinder and hooked it up to the passive intake of my tent and draped a curtain over it. I'm drying my pepsi plant in it atm and as it's constantly getting airflow but now strong wind and in near total darkness I can't see why I wouldn't work. Atb and decent speakers m8 ain't they lol

    Have to agree with Wellblue here. fan OR dehumidifier, both i think will leave nothing in them.

    Dude your clothes are gonna stink too.
