What are you using for intake?

Cardboard box attached to intake would do the job. I've dried above my lights or under canopy in the past but not ideal.

4'' black orchid axial-flo fan for intake mate

I havent got the room to put a box behind tent mate as tent is close to wall and intake comes straight from vent in wall to bottom of tent ๐Ÿ™ˆ

What Keeno says... ^^^

Get a big box with a few holes punched in it or a small propagation tent and stick a bit of duct from that to your intake on the main tent. Put the holes opposite the duct hole and it'll be sveet.

Double check that no light gets from the box into the duct end in your tent or you'll be wondering why you got re-vegging plants and plants that don't want to flower... like someone I know who had his propagation tent light shining down the shiny ducting and illuminating his flowering girls at lights off.

(shhh, it was me but don;t tell anyone. :oik!: )
Guna try make something up mate as I havent really got the room behind tent to facilitate a box๐Ÿ™ˆ

Lights not a problem. Mate there autos ๐Ÿ‘

The paper bags do allow air in and out, i found them a excellent way to dry bud in a tent down by the pots what is about 20-24 c on average under the canopy. They also take up no room in the tent and can spread about and turned as you need. It actually works really well just need a little more patience as it takes a little longer. Just remember not to fill the bags to much about 1/2oz per bag when using 10 x 10 bags.

Have you got any room above the tent?

I now it sounds silly but... a few boxes sellotaped together with airflow holes and grab a few meters of duct off the amazon for fleabay to stick into one of you tent's other intakes (if it's got them, if not... make one! ) and whack it on top of your tent with the dope hanging in there. :idn:

Get stoned and get creative!

Just don;t fall off any ladders. :oik!:
Will I need an extra intake fan then mate?

No, your extract fan will just pull the air in.

I've done brown bag drying too like Kbag suggests... Biggest problem is finding some decent bags in the 1st place.

I used sandwich or lunch bags I forget what they were called, from a kitchen gadget shop, they were small so I had to use loads with pegs hanging them off string I'd lashed all over the top of the tent.

Give em a shake daily and you should be all good.

I also used shoe boxes on top of the fridge. :oik!:
Ahh I see ok mate soundโœŒ๐Ÿ‘

seems like I got a few ways to try and see what works best for me, top man mate
