I didnt know what to do when i chop my girls tonight or tomorrow....so after thinking for a bit, i thought i would induldge my creative side and build myself a very simple drying box... the idea is to draw air through 2 boxes into my tent and then the smelly air is scrubbed by my CF in the tent and dumped in the loft. I have an ambient temp in the room with my tent in it of 17-18°C and humidity at 40%.... so about right. Ive got to keep the light on in my tent as i have a photo plant vegging that will be trained a little and put into 12/12 in a couple of weeks. So i dont want to dry my bud in the tent as its too warm, even in a cardboard box.
I thought i would share with ppl..So here goes..
What i used...
2 cardboard boxes (mine were different sizes but they can be whatever size you want).
2 lengths of 4" ducting.
Gaffer Tape..i ran out and had to use clear parcel tape halfway through😔.
String.
Drill to make holes, but anything can be used....pencil, chop stick, screwdriver etc.
Stanley knife.
Newspaper to line the boxes.
I took the larger box and strung two layers with sting so i can utilise all of the box...
Then i sealed the box up with gaffer tape... i ran out just when i finished it so not too bad, just had to use sellotape after that.
I then cut a door in the end so i have access into the box...
I also drilled holes in the door as this is where i want fresh air to enter my drying box.
This is the view into bottom box.
This is the view with door closed and the smaller box on top.
I then taped the small box on top of bigger box and joined them with a length of 4" ducting, then cut a 4" hole in the side of the small box on top, as far away from entry from bottom box so air passes through whole of top box...
Cat took an interest...🐯
Then the cat took much more of an intested...LOL.. dont you just love them.
So then i attached it to my tent with another length of ducting... so basically its a passive intake that runs over my buds first and the smell is scrubbed by my CF so rule No.1....sorted. (no smell).
This is what its like....i will sort out some sort of door for top box asap.
Front of the bottom box in situ. With door open.
Picture from a different percpective...
Its not perfect but it works.
I did a smoke test with the door on the bottom box open and it draws air very gently through the boxes into the tent so i think it might work...im seeing very slight negative pressure from both boxes..🖒🖒🖒😀😀😀🖒🖒🖒.
Will keep you updated on how it works and plz let me know if anybody has any ideas on how i can improve it.
