Drying in a card board box

Grow Cycle Harvesting
1

I harvested 2 plants yesterday and then realized that I cannot find my hanging drying rack. So, I ordered a new one. But while I’m waiting for that to come in I had a small problem of a lot of flower to dry…

So, what I did was this. I got 3 big cardboad boxes and put packing paper in the bottom. I then tossed all of my buds in them. I give them a good mixing every few hours. So far they are doing great. They seem to be drying out really good and evenly… actually better than the hanging rack.

I was thinking about getting a refridgerator box and building a nice drying cabinet.

What do you think?
Anyone else done this?

I do not hang limbs to dry. I harvest the bud and remove all of the limbs. I then wet trim and then dry. I’m not concerned with looks, just quality.

Thanks

I’ve dried in a fridge box before but hung the branches versus buds, slows the drying process down. I use a WeDryer as well but leave as many leaves to help with a slow dry :love_you_gesture:

So, the cardboard box slowed down the dry?
That’s a good thing.
The buds really feel like they are drying much more evenly in the box.

The box didn’t slow the process down, I kept the environmental conditions around 60% RH and 65 degrees. I strung wire across the top and hung the branches from the wire :love_you_gesture:

I’m all for doing anything that puts you in the position you need to be in.

The cardboard idea is similar to sweating in paper bags.

Thanks for clarifying. :blush:

I’m going to go with and see how it turns out. This is about right for my grow, with all of the crazy I’ve done with it. Lol

I guess I’ll never know until i try it.

I’ve been trying to slow down the drying process. Last tme I wet trimmed and hung buds to dry. This time I rmoved only dead leaves and hung the whole plants and large limbs to dry wth fan blowing indirect air, dehumidifier set at 60%. Check humidity and begin deleaf as leaves dry out…trim when stems snap into turkey bags with 62% packs …about a p. in ea…open agitate burp daily…Happy Growing
