    Default D.I.Y Drying box!

    What's up all! I was wondering if anyone has made any dry boxes out of things lying around the house or off the old Amazon, I've made something temporary. But it's a little ghetto!
    I was thinking of some sort of opaque box and putting in some ventilation. Any photos of any builds or ideas on making a controlled environment for drying would be massively appreciated.

    Not sure I'd want that little humidifier near the buds. The ones over here normally have some fragrance to them and stink. A little pc fan with some carbon would sort the smell out and keep the air moving.

    Use a cardboard box, poke 2-3 holes at the bottom on one side with a pencil. On the opposite side at the top cut a hole in it for your size venting and run some duct between it and your tent. This allows you to use ya main carbon filter for the smells and will provide more than enough airflow thru the box for drying as it sucks the air in.

    I wouldn't have the dehumidifier in there tho, you want them to dry slow

    NO SELL, NO SMELL, NO TELL!!!

    Sounds like mold just waiting to happen. If your basement is damp, like most are. JMO

    Aghh sound! Yeah That's a good idea to be fair man! I'll see what I can muster up! Might sod off the cardboard though and get something abit more durable! Around 55% humidity is correct for drying yeah?

    I would use a large storage box, take the lid off and drill holes every 4-5" along each end, in a line, so you can make a horizontal set lines over the top of the box to hang the weed on

    in the center ends of the box cut a square 120mm x 120mm and use a pc fan(these a great guide on here) to extract the air out of the box (cause a vacuum to reduce humidity)

    hang the weed and put the lid on (could even add a small carbon filter to the fan to control the Oder)
