Yes you can it’s best to use some kind of screen material so there’s airflow all around they have a bunch of different drying racks out there just Google herb dryers

But I do have a question that I keep researching but not getting a clear picture do buds fatten up while they are drying or do they get smaller

Buds will shrink as the moisture content drops.

U can use a fly screen from ur house as long as it isnt a fibreglass one ,what you do is put a milk crate at each end of the flyscreen to hold it flat put ur bud on it and place a fan in the room where ur doin it so it blows air around the buds but only have on low

After i do a bud wash and the water is drained. I put them in a drying rack with a fan pointing at it.

Jeez no need to complicate matters just tie a twine through a room cut, wash, hang, and run a fun underneath the plants so it just rotates the air

Depending on the amount and humidity levels, I often dry in a cardboard box

@Lacewing, can you help @Highlysmoking ?

Hi @Highlysmoking I’m sure the reason @beardless didn’t answer you was he didn’t see your asking him if when you talk to someone on a thread other than their own tag them with an @ in front of their name like I did above and it gives them a direct notification otherwise they could easily miss it and now that I tagged beardless he will probably come by and explain his method I kinda know but don’t want to miss something
