You are kind of screwed. Wherever you dry you need room for the air to circulate. I would suggest you do smaller amounts at a time. Start drying the big buds first and let the small ones keep growing till you get to them. You could dry in the greenhouse? In spain they wrap the whole plant in papper and hang upsidedown to dry. Good Luck!

could i build a little shack to dry them in becaue i live near a wooded area and the plants are there.. i don't want light to get at the buds when they are drying because that would compromise the THC levels.. i might be able to get some silver and black plastic that i could build a 4x4 room thing out of to dry them.. then i could tie them up on string.. i could leave small spaces near the roof for some air to get in.. do colder temps matter when drying? because here at harvest time it gets to about 8 degrees C in the night time.. and 16 in the day... i can put the weed in buckets with covers to cure anyway.. they are easyer to hide.. would a 4x4 shack that's about 6 foot be good enough to dry in?.. and would i have to put a floor in it?

Only thing you might wanna worry about at night if drying outside is and I dont know about you but where I am it gets cooler at night and when you get up the lower areas have alot of fog. That might be a problem when drying? Maybe pick somewhere on top of a hill. Y'd you plant so many with nowhere to go? Maybe you have a trusting friend that'd help? You'll be good tho! No worries lol!

that's basically my idea.. butt to build a 4x4 foot 6foot high tarp room in the woods.. i'll leave small spaces for air(that water can't get into)in the top of the walls.. and i'll have the roof on a slant so water doesn't build up... i'll hang the plants on the strings strung across it and let them dry and then pack them all up and cure the bud in buckets with covers that i can remove daily at my house

the temp here gets at about 10 degrees(night) around harvest time butthe temp is about 16 in the day.. will this hurt the drying bud any?

Sounds like a good idea and that you have thought it out! Go for it!! Its just gonna be for a week or so. Let us no how it goes!!! and good luck just check often for mold. Is hunting big there? You might wanna think about hiding it from people that may wonder in the woods
