Drying cuttings in AC vents?

So I've been thinking about a place I can dry my cuttings when I harvest my first grow. I was going to put them on a tray in the seat of a car in my garage, surrounded by anti-humidity balls, but I think all the heat in the garage (Houston, 90s all day) will hurt the THC. But I have to dry them some place my girl won't see them or smell them.

What about the AC air intake vent? Right on top of the filter. Then I would surround them with anti-humidity balls and activated carbon.

Thoughts?

Thanks!!!

Bump!!!

Where were you growing it? Maybe this would be a good spot

if you put it in the vents you would just be reeking your entire house up via the duct work more than likely

You have bigger issues to address before a place to dry your harvest is a problem..
"some place my girl won't see them or smell them."

Where will you let it cure? lol

I dont think its a good idea. Besides it generally being a nasty area and smelling up your house, besides all that your going to have humidity problems. Too low when unit is running , too high when off.

She smoke all your weed? lol

So what if I put them in a closet she very rarely goes. AC, so cool enough. In some box. On a tray, surrounded by trays of activated carbon and water-absorbing beads. Any problems with that?

How long does it take for them to dry enough to bag them up and seal it off? And you mentioned "curing" them - is that different than letting them dry? How long does THAT take lol?

Thanks!!!

If they are of any quality they would have a smell that would become noticeable to any nose. It sounds like you want a quick fast dry and quality is not in mind. In that case you could just drive out to the desert and have a fan and blow the really hot air on it. Also bring a microwave to nuke them for 15 seconds at a time. This will quickly dry them. You could even grind and chop it all up first and then lay it all out on a big tray and do everything mentioned. To increase surface area

Hang them in a closet with a fan blowing in the closet not at the buds. If you have the means buy a 4" inline fan and a 4" filter.

Drying 10 days
Cure 3 weeks avg.

If u dry fast it wil turn to straw taste.

U need them the think they have not noot been chopped. Slow drying.

Hang 19degrees 65 humid avg dont worry about that better more than less.. i have to wrap mine in plastic 5 days to reduce the evap. Then syart to dry em

U need minimal air flow first 4 days just small movement around em
.
After day 5 i move em all to a tub together again to help increase humidity among em....

Day 8 bown bags
Day 10 cardboardboard box for 2 week

Then jar.

5 yrs and trust me any less and ur weed wil turn to fart.
Jar em before 2 weeks even when dry and ull kill the cure n get fart weed

Get a large paper bag and dry them somewhere hidden.
