Tent Drying?

I have heard it best to dry in a dark area, with light airflow like a closet. This doesn't work from me, as it would be odorous. Is a tent ok for drying, if the airflow is turned down? Would the constant 24-7 passive intake and outtake of 170 cfm, adversely effect drying, or dry too fast? Perhaps if I reduced fan speed down to fifty percent?

It depends on the RH of the tent. I like to do it in the tent as well to help control smell, I try to keep the RH around 60% and keep a small fan blowing in the tent, but not directly on the drying buds.

How big is your tent??

I personally try to keep my plants within 2-3 inches of each other with only about 2-3 inches from a ceiling, wall, or the ground. I use a cardboard box or whatever I need to to create this kind of space. Doing this allows rH to to stay a little higher (if your in a low rH area like me).

Then I use NO intake. I seal off all my intake because with my inline fan on its LOWEST speed, it circulates air in my tent 30-50 times a minitue. With all intake ports closed, smaller, more controlled amounts of air are pulled in the through actual fabric of the tent, allowing for a slower dry, while still moving enough air to keep rH stable around 40-50% with fans off. and set my small circulations fan (which only circulates air around my plants while my inline fan is on) right in the area where my MJ is to help make sure excess moisture in the air directly around the plant is moved and recycled.

I set my inline/circulation fan to 15 min an hour for the first day or two
Then 15 min every hour and a half for 2-3 more days after that

Then depending on how far rH goes down after 4-5 days I'll turn my fan down even further to 15 min every 2 hours for 3-4 more days or longer until dry enough to cure!

And the best part about all this is that by keeping your tent sealed, you can keep the smell in with the fan off, and make sure smelly air is filtered before breaking stealth once the fan is on

Hope that helps man!

My tent is a 2x2.5 with a 4" carbon filter mounted to the top roof support. I can kick it down to maybe 50 percent power. Will 24/7 scrubbing negatively effect my drying. Humidity is usually under 50 percent. I have one rectangular meshed passive intake at the bottom of the tent, and of course a 4" duct outake.

I dry in one of my tents all the time. I don't have a fan or anything going, just close it up. The RH stays about 60 which is great because the natural rh here this time of year is about 15, so If I don't use the tent, they dry out way too fast IMO. If you run a fan, it's basically going to equal the humidity on the outside of the tent.
