Thanks @MeEasy. I did not have the thread set to Watching so a direct tag is the only way I would know additional posts were entered.
Using a cardboard box is quite straight forward. I push the stems through holes punched in the top and secure them with binder clips. Any thing will work to hold the stems I just have a lot of binder clips.
This is what I am talking about

To slow the dry I cover the open side of the box. Paper, cardboard, towel - whatever. I also put a hygrometer in the box (best if hung like it is a bud) to monitor the rH. If low I will even put a bowl of water in there. If high I have a fan blow across the face of the box. Not directly on the buds. If the environment cooperates a good dry time is 7 or more days. Tag me @beardless if I can be of further help. Have a great harvest

I made one out of a Lowe’s wardrobe box
I installed a usb powered pc fan
I also used carbon filtering from Lowe’s that you cut I used it on the passive intakes as well to make sure any home odors or anything could interfere
I got a WiFi plug so I could turn the fan on and off whenever
I also got a govee WiFi hydrometer to monitor the temp and Rh in the box
It worked great cost less than $40 if you don’t want to buy the hydrometer and WiFi plug

I am going to try the cardboard box dry since my tent will still be occupied. The box will be in my basement with temps in the mid to low 60’s and RH around 35%. Should I have a fan blowing across the front?
Thanks
