    Default Drying buds advice.

    Hi guys. I'm currently growing two plants . It looks like one is gonna finish a week or so before the other.
    I normally dry the buds in a net I hang up in the tent. Obviously I won't be able too do that this time cause the other plant will still be in there.
    Any ideas for otherways I could dry.
    What about in a cardboard box.?

    A cardboard box should do it, Id get a large box for plenty of air movement... But won’t smell be an issue?

    Yeah was thinking that but kinnda got no choice. Would you put the buds directly on cardboard or kitchen towel or something.

    I would leave some stem on the buds. Stand the box on its end and thread string into the box from each side to create hangers to hang the stems onto

    Stick it a card board box, and have the intake to your big tent pulling air from it, that’ll keep the smell down as it’ll all go through the filter

    Another option is to place your drying bud in brown paper bags. These can be hung in your grow tent. There are some good threads here on THCtalk that explains how and the benefits of drying in this manner. I use this way to dry and would not go back to drying by hanging.

    Is this just matter of tying brown paper bag to the bud so not in contact with the light? Then hanging it I’m in same situation, but would like keep it in same area for filter

    I've used both methods and both worked equally well, i've placed bud in large robust brown paper bags maybe 1 third full and kind of like blow the bag up and tie it at the top so there is room to keep rotating the bag gently to move the bud around inside the bag then hang it back up and keep repeating every couple of days, still got some bud stored and cured in jars using this method and it's fucking gorgeous man, good luck brother, G'.
