These are the things we made the plastic one is still being used for testers
Thanks P5! That is very cool. Did the cardboard one work decently enough?
Yea ut worked fine. Took a bit longer than drying in the tent, probably a 12 day dry but was fine.

Thanks mate, not worried about the time it takes, just that it does a decent job and I don't ruin the bud or stink out the street mostly. 👍🏻

We used a carbon filter pad thing and a fan.

Is hanging them from the roof of the tent above your light not an option?

Just cut the branches from the main stem and leave all the leaves on, they'll slow the dry down somewhat.

I dry mine on the branches anyway, they only come off when they go into jars, then I pull any excess leafage off at the same time.

I did consider this but my lights have inbuilt fans so they would have constant air being blown on them, not to mention as heat rises I'm assuming it would be even hotter than my tent which is at 26c? Not to mention wouldn't the light reflection off the mylar also affect it?

Thank you bro, did you notice any smell even without the ONA? Or did you always use that?
I think I'm going to try run it through the tent if possible, as neighbours are nosey and can't risk having door kicked in.
Any idea where I might be able to get a big cardboard box? Haha.
Defo have to look into an air ironizer when I'm back on my feet and have a bit of money though.

My first grows was in one of there StorePAK Wardrobe Boxs........lol

Smell may be a bit with out the gel

best idea hang it in your tent with extract on slow to pull any smelly air away but not to dry the weed out to quick
