Yeah man I'm mid terraced so that crossed my mind, I plant to hookup a carbon filter in my tent when it goes in the loft
Yeah but when your opening closing tent to water, if you learn to LST, tent doors will be open for a while and if you get a mutant stinking mofo could b tricky. I can’t tell you where I work but I hear this a lot dude.
summer time is tough to grow in which is why I stop then restart in Aug so by time flowering comes temps are on my side. I grew in heatwave weeks where it was 37degrees outside, night time temps were 27, but still managed it just.

Hey guys,

Sorry to ask another drying question as seen loads and loads of different post, forums etc about this but I need some direct advice please!
I am growing two autos in a tent, one auto seems to be weeks ahead of the other which makes me think that will be harvested first. Now I read drying needs to be around 15-20c (nearer 15c) and about 60% humidity with complete darkness.
My idea before starting the grow would be to harvest both plants at the same time so can use the tent as a drying room. I need to ensure smell is kept under control and have limited space. As one plant is further ahead, I don't think my plan will work anymore... does it need to be in complete darkness?

I can get a portable AC to keep the room temp between 15-20c but if I hang the further along plant in the tent, obviously the light will still be on for the other plant! I have a controller humidifier so this won't be a problem to keep at 60%.
The other problem I see with this is keeping the tent at 60% humidity to dry 1 plant but then would be problematic for the other plant which would still be flowing!

What do you guys think I can do in this situation?

P.s I do have a home made kiln out of insulation which can be sealed with complete darkness. Do drying nugs need airflow because air doesn't flow in the kiln..

Thanks!
Any latest pics dude ?

Yeahh pics are of more mature girly, as it gets low low temps at night right now in my loft, I needed to make space for my radiator so the slower one had to go!
Yeah it took 6 days to dry the bits I had of the other one and is in jars now at 62%. Not expecting much from it but worth trying to keep that binning haha

Yeah loft seems to keep at 55-65% all times. I actually chopped the slower girl into stems and hung with the leaves still on, 3 days later trimmed them up and another 3/4 days later the stems we just about snapping. Jar seems to be increasing to 67% so burping twice a day until I stable at 62 ish... this is beneficial for me as ive never done it so good practice before my other girl comes down!.
When my other girl comes down, ill be hanging in my tent, ac unit on at all times on low also in the tent and extracting hot air out of it. Hoping to aim for 60/60.
