Drying Your Buds

[Fear the Reefer]

I have a grow that is not far away from harvest and just the other day i realised that drying my buds out is goin to be a real headache as my roomates dont mind me smoking but ovbouisly would mind if i was drying buds out and there was an overpowering smell all the time. So my first q is is there any way to dry out buds indoors while keeping the smell to a minimum if not nil? i Was think about on of those plastic toy box type containers but im not sure. Also is it possible to dry outdoors say the same idea just outdoors? i thought the temperature might cause problems but i wanted a second opionion just now b4 i get to harvest and am left with major probs lol

get a little cab or a big rubbermaid box and put a diy carbon filter on the bottom sucking air through the filter out the cab and also put some passive intake holes on the opposite side.
can use like a window screen snd layer them to keep the buds seperated
good luck

buds in a paper bag inside a ziplock inside an old bar fridge?

trying to be creative....

You want airflow, not an extremely high amount, but you need some or you will probably run into trouble.

I would use a beer fridge. Its simple, Clean and it can keep yer beer private in your room rather than the communal fridge.:thumbsup:

i dry my bud in the fridge cuz its so muggy and hot here right now.

Are you growing indoors?

PC :smokin:

yeh im growing outdoors, and thanks for all your suggestions guys but i dont know about the carbon filter things mainly due to i spent most of my budget getting them this far and therefore i thought the 1 or 2 weeks drying wud be free haha could i not just keep them in like an airtight box ? would that keep the smell away? and would they still dry out?

No, if the box is airtight, then no moisture can escape, and they can go mouldy. I'd suggest hanging them in a cardboard box, and using air fresheners or insence to conceal the smell...

Mold/fungi is my headache and always has been. I wouldn't risk my whole harvest, fridge seems like your best bet.
