I have to keep this cannabis stealth guys, so I have buds inside a box wraped in newspaper that I have just harvested in the trunk of a parked car.
It's hot in the daytime here and cool at night. It's about a pound give or take an extra quarter. Will I lose any T.H.C. crystals or potency in my buds?

that won't dry it , that will mold it..

it needs to be hung really, or layed out with fresh air.. in a warmish dark area.. usually a closet is the ideal choice... for some anyway..

i don't think it's a good idea though to leave it in that trunk for more than 2 days

when you dry it can you just lay it out in a warmish dark area or do you have to put it in something?

Hello Fireant...................Like BobBong has said is the best way, hung in a warm, dark, dry area with ventilation is the absolute best way of drying and retaining potency.

I have forced dried small amounts before, by layering a liitle out in a cardboard box and placing the box on top of the transformer that runs my grow lamp, then I gently turned the buds every 6 hours or so. It dried out in 2-3 days and it did I think lose a little potency, but it worked.

However hanging and drying naturally is by far the best way I have found.
How you describe the conditions you have it in now will mould it.

Good luck love.................love mand xxx
