DRYING BUD OUTSIDE

[vanislgrower]

hey i was wondering if anybody has tried harvesting there crop and leaving it to dry outside. i have a makeship greenhouse thats actaully just a huge bag i used and indeed works like a greenhouse that i used when the plants were young. i figure if i hang them inside the mini greenhouse and get soem airflow through there (poke a few descent holes, not too big) it should keep the heat in for drying. But i see the potential for overdrying them too fast.Can i just dry them in the open let the sun dry them? i think maybe mold may get in there. If anyone has tried please let me know.

In a greenhouse, mold is your worst enemy. Even poking a few holes won't do a thing. You'd need a proper blower to keep a constant breeze through there.
If you have NO choice but to dry outdoors, a tarp tied between 4 trees over the lines your buds are hanging from would be less mold risk, but of course it looks kinda obvious.
Do you have a spare room or even a spare closet in a room that can be air conditioned or fit a dehumidifier in there?

nothing as of right now(closet etc). for the greenhouse idea even if i cut a BIG hole on each side to get a flow through there think it would work? i may try this anyhow and post pictures of the setup. Harvest time is not close so its not asap so i have time to prepare. Any ideas are appreciated. i will get pictures of the mini greenhouse next time i water.thanks
