Drying room suggestions

I was planning to dry in the same tent I'm using for growing but it looks to me like the plants are going to finish at different times. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best idea for a drying space? I live in the desert so humidity is low.

I thought about buying another tent to dry in but I don't really need it reflective etc. Trying to find the most economical choice and happy to do a little DIY.

How far apart are they going to finish? A week or two? If so, leave the one you think will be done another week or two. The most economical choice :hump:

I'm pretty new to this so no idea how far apart they are but feels like a weekish based on where one was at a week ago vs now. If I leave one an extra couple of weeks does anything degrade? Any signs of you should harvest this now before bad things happen?

you should be just fine, as wattzzup says, some pix would be nice and a picture is worth a thousand words.
the worst that would happen is some extra CBN in your buds dependng on maturation

you can dry bud in quite cold condicions, i tryed it last year and it worked lovely, the bud was smooth and the smell was perfect and the taste was perfect too. it took 3 monthes almost to dry them compleatly. i was so paranoid that they were going to suffer from the delayed drying time, but i kept making sure they wernt touching or bunched up too much to avoid any mould forming, but i was worried about nothing. you can look up drying in a fridge or freezer

I don't think the plant that is labeled ahead in the pictures is done yet but it seems to be a decent amount ahead in terms of maturity than the behind one. Sorry about the slightly blurry scope picture its hard to snap a clear one but looks like only a few have turned amber

Often I dry my weed in the flower room or veg room.
For example you could use a large box in one end of the room where the cool air comes into the room, make a hole each end of the box to allow for air flow, top of the box blocks the light and you can stack some trays in the box
this will block the light and keep the buds cool, airflow will also keep the humidity low

I would give the ahead plant another 7-10 days

What kind of light are they under?

When did you flip to 12/12?

2x 240 watt qbs 6 weeks. I wasn't really worried about either being done just what I'm observing as the gap between the development time and getting a space prepared to dry if I can't use the tent

are you thinking of just useing the tent and air filter / blower to use to dry your bud? or were you going to use the lights to get some warmth? because theres no reason to use the lights, just the air flow and tent wiu;l be enough to dry your budz off. may sound stupid, but some growers are a tad uneducated when it comes to growing/drying cureing

I have a heater in the room so not worried about heat just airflow, humidity and darkness. I have an ACinfinity grow tent that has a controller for the fans to keep the humidity at a set level. I'm worried if I try to dry it in just a tent/closet/room I will struggle to keep the humidity as high as it needs to be. My house humidity is around 25-30% :(
