Re: Drying tent
Dark. Light will damage them.

Re: Drying tent
It is fun to see everyones drying solutions! My best drying has been hanging in the GQ60 prop tent but basically all you need is darkness and air movement

Re: Drying tent
I use a dry-box - any plastic tote will do. Has a 2" PVC pipe running through the middle, then fishing lines/string from L-R. 4" booster fan spliced to reducers and then the pipe. This dumps the air into the tent (for later carbon filter extraction).

Re: Drying tent
I hang the whole 4 or 5 plants upside down in the tent they grew in. If you do a scrog and cable tie the branches to the net you should be able to just cut them at the stalks and turn the net upside down, really easy as long as your net has a frame.
Reason I prefer the tent is the control of humidity. Can keep it around 55 rh for the majority and have a nice 8-10 day dry. Light is your enemy. Also if you have a fan blasting on the buds for more than 24/48 hours they'll dry too quick. I use a little fan to circulate air for the first 24 then just the carbon filter is constantly moving and changing the air.

The other day when I was high I solved one of the world's greatest problems.
Unfortunately five minutes later I forgot what I was doing.

Re: Drying tent

alsoRe: Drying tent
As has been mentioned already you can use a cardboard box. A 60x60cm tent will take most drying nets as they are 60cm aIso. You can hook up 100mm ducting from the 60 cm drying tent to your main tent. The fan in the big tent will draw air through that ducting causing negative pressure inn the 60x60 so no smell leak and air flow to aid drying.
