I have a little issue. My plants are just about ready to chop but I have to go home for the holidays to visit family who dont smoke pot so I was wondering. . .

Is there any techniuque of drying that would allow me to be able to leave it alone for uo to two weeks and ensure that it would just be dry enough to jar when I come back? thanks

get a cardboard box big enough to put your plants in...

tie a string across the top from one side to another and jus use the branch to hang it up side down on the string...thats what i did

n put it in a dark, cool place..
i put mine in a cabinet

and this will not overdry the buds after 2 weeks and leave them ready to jar cure and smoke : )?
i dont think it is possible to overdry buds lol...i do no that if it is in a really dark cool place while its dryin it produces mroe crystals.. plus most plants take 1 -2 weeks to dry..it will be fine..

OK, Im in the same situation. I was wondering, do you have to seal the box air tight? Or do you leave it open?

If it is "AIR TIGHT" They will not dry and may grow mold... But cardboard can not be air tight... Cardboard will absorb the moisture and can breath unlike a sealed jar...

Any hoo air tight... NO... Thats why you dry them before putting them in sealed jars to cure...

If you are worried about them getting too dry you could get a tiny (humidor) humidifier that will keep your drying area at a specific humidity level that way you have control on how fast and how much it dries...

If any of this sounds off base let me know it is all theory and no practice... =\

No man, it makes sense. So i guess, i just leave the box cracked open a bit, so that they can breathe. I just dont want my entire harvest to be full of mold when i come back home. And about the humidifier, i would buy one but i dont have money. I'm kinda on a tight budget. Thanks for the advice though. I'm working on pics. I just need to find my charger for my camera

Almost forgot if you can afford a DEhumidifier/food dryer from wallmart and you have 7-8 days you can do a water cure... Read about it in the grow faq...
