I agree, it's a solid tutorial and will probably use it but I give credit where credits due GROWFAQ to "InjectTruth" so far lol. Yes, now 2 whole posts! hehe guess that makes me a newbie in your eyes, just trying to help. Habits are hard to kick! Just an old hippie...

If hempgrower didn't credit InjectTruth for the images, yep, it's plagiarism.
The post originally appeared on Overgrow.com and still contains (now very dead) links to files on OG. OG's GrowFAQ was rescued (more or less completely) from caches shortly after the big bust which took OG offline in 2006 and lives on, hosted on various cannabis forums.
When you use someone else's work as though it was your own, that is, without notice to the reader that the cited work was done by someone else, it's literary theft aka plagiarism.
...and you ought not to need 1000 posts to raise a valid point, which Stitch has done.

add a small pc fan on one side and some holes in the other to pull the air accross the buds would help and wouldnt be much more, I dont see the carbon filter as needed if your already scrubbing the room your drying in, as with any dryer just make sure to keep an eye on them so they dont dry too fast.

Fabulous Idea!!!After a bit of contemplating on how to dry my buds in my condo, I figured out how to make my own version of Quickgrow's Herb Dryer, now they sell this item for $365!! I made this one for about sixty bucks.
Step One :
All this is is just a rubbermaid tote with a filter (carbon) placed in the rubbermaid. A simple fan that pulls the air from inside the tote and sends it into the room.
Step 2 : The trip down to wallmart and a local grow shop
This should cost you no more the sixty bucks, if you are cheap you could probbly do it for about 3/4 of the price.
electrical cord from radio shack was five bucks
Rubbermaid container bought at wallmart was fifteen bucks.
Fan from home depot (inline) twentry two bucks
activated carbon- $10 ebay
scrubber - parts- $25,
mounts and shelving - dont remember but they were cheap from home depot
After I got all the gear together I smoked a nice small joint and got it all ready, the smoking the join is very important. Whats the sense of working if you can not enjoy the benifit.
Step Three : Putting it all together
I did not put the scrubber in the list because you should already have one, you can build one for about $50.
I took my inline fan set the fan in the rubbermaid container and then I traced a circle around the fan. Then using a butter knife and a torch/lighter i cute a hole to fit my fan.
I then pushed the fan through the hole, make sure you put your fan in the right way
No for the drying racks, I took some 3" screws and put the through the sides to act as hangers, on top of screws i put hardware cloth, this is kinda tricky just use a measuring tape and cut. I added three trays to this system. By spacing the shelves three inches apart vertically the rubbermaid will give me just about twelve cubic feed of drying space.
Now you need to make it so the marijuana dryer can breathe, to do this just grab a drill and pop a couple holes in the sides so you dont implode your new project. However if you drill to much there could be an odor leak and defeat this whole purpose, so go slow see how much your fan needs for intake.
My Friend said he there was a hint of odor at times in my front yard. Said it was not bad at all. I have a can fan AND an ozone generator going 24/7, and it still reeks. Sigh... I just harvested about 5 days ago(big yield), and well.. you know the rest. I never realized it before because I smoke... Glad he said sumthin' ... got kinda paranoid from his remark... so off to Walmart I go!!! I already order the air scrubber for 40.00 on ebay, now the rubbermaid, etc.. "Better being safe than sorry" Thanks Hemp grower! 
quick question.
i have had the worst luck with a good home made carbon scrubber. i cannot find a fan like the one you have in your pictures. what kind of fan is it? I know where to find all the duct work and carbon but the fan is where im stuck.
im a newb with my first plant bout an inch tall so i need all the help i can get!

For 150 I built a 3Deepx6Longx7High dry cabinet from 5/8" plywood and some 2x1s. It's lined with black sheeting, has a 180cfm inline fan/carbon filter combo at top, passive intake on bottom, some hinges, handles, some wood crack sealant and nails and screws. Took about 3 hours to build, it can dry large amounts properly(3-10 days) with fan speed control turned to low(about 50cfm) Large enough to dry decent amounts, small enough to move out of room if necessary and priced low enough to have something that actually works well.
