Best drying method

So I would say I have a week are so before I harvest two of my plants out the tent, but I still have a plant that is a couple weeks younger, so won't be ready to harvest, so due to this, I can't dry them in the tent like I hoped, is they another way which is just as effective, maybe with something I can buy from a local store? Help would be appreciated, don't fancy it going tits up.

Buy another tent. An ink bird humidity controller, 4" fan with duct, and a humidifier.

If you're serious about doing this. Buy the tools you need to do the best job you can.

I grow in a walk in closet. I have a 2'x4'x something tent. That's dedicated to drying. My harvest will be staggered also. About a week difference.

Not that easy, if I could I would, but my work has got me layed off for God knows how long, so money's tight

You can make a square frame. The square is hung and the plastic draped over it.

You want something that'll maintain a level of humidity. You want it dark so the THC doesn't degrade. Plus smell control.
I get you yes, well I can make a frame easy enough so I will probably do it this way

I've never used one but the big tall box from Uhaul. The box that people hang there clothes off a metal pipe that's on the lid of the box.

Wardrobe box(?) It'd work if your harvest will fit in it.

I used a large, heavy duty cardboard box that some furniture came in once. The cardboard smelled strongly “cardboard-y” and I felt like it made the buds taste a bit like it. Tossed the box and built a PVC frame. Easy to take apart between harvests. Cover with something dark, control environmental conditions and you’re good to go.

That's it, I've read so many things and it sounds like some people just over complicated it when it came down to it, of course I want it to be right but with money at the moment with this covid shit, it's pretty hard

I'm a bit short today. My bad. But my method is a controlled space as Bee suggested. The confines regulate the humidity as released by the plants. Cooler for larger spaces and warmer for smaller. Same with airflow. Higher for cooler. Lower for warmer. No fancy is involved. And jar curing can help compensate for less than ideal drying. That's where the magic happens.

Best wishes.

I've had a lot of info of you guys and I appreciate it, I did buy a book called the grow Bible, and that thing is wicked for info, but doesn't do any good for if you are on a tight budget

I only splurged on goodies over the last couple years. A closet, hangers, spring paper clips and a fan when indoors with staggered harvests. Bailing wire, clips and a fan in the garage in late fall. Nothing else besides a hygrometer and thermometer.

Is there a link you could post on this method?? I have all the tools, just need the concept.
