Was thinking of putting a fan near the box so air inside gets refreshed.

>Do you think this will work properly???
>Think it needs more holes/vents???
>Think it needs any changes?
>Any better just as cheap ideas welcome?
>put in as single buds or leave on branch???

Any advice welcome thanks for looking

its upto you really, plus your using a fan which will move the air around the bud and dry them out abit quicker, give it a go man what can go wrong?

I think thats a good design. I might add an exhaust pc fan in there just to pull some light air through. I would definitely keep them in darkness. Also I prefer to trim it to smaller nugs, wet stems may invite mold.

I would just hang them up... I tried something similar and the buds stuck to the material and i lost a lot of trichomes on it.
I didn't want to put the material in my bubble bags either so i just tossed them.

Thanks to for the advice il take it in to consideration

I know what damage light can do to THC so the lids always on. The fan is oscillating round near the box so the bud don't dry to fast (want a smooth smoke). Il also cut all buds of the branches as for the material beening sticky il see how it go's this time.

Remember I said the bud is crap well I had smoked some this morning and its half strength of good bud' So prob just make some cannabutter I saved the good trimmings because I read they got lots of cannabinoids that work better when extacted for eating.

Gonna make me a big weed_cake1.jpg lol maybe some brownies

24th
It took 55 hrs to dry evenly (2 and abit days) bare in mind the buds were thin and not very thick. Now Im thinking the buds of my good plant are 3 and and 4 times thicker and larger so it SHOULD take 3 to 4 times longer about a week and thats what i was hoping for.

Whats anybody think????

Ended up hanging em in a dark space temps are around 75f though day and around 65f at night. I have a small extractor fan to pull fresh air in and is keeping the smell under control too' thier is also a 9" fan but that is at the bottom of the cupboard (not blowing on the buds) guessing and hoping that they'l be dry in about 7 days some of the buds are proper thick like 1.5 inch and more thick so prob longer?????

I have no hydrometer so just to make sure its about right I'v put a bowl of salt to obsord some of the moisture in the air.

ty for advice buddy What dew think to what Iv done and temps their in ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
