is it possible to dry/cure outside?

[jsn9333]

I'm thinking of doing a small personal guerrilla grow. Is it possible to build a box to dry/cure in outside? I don't want cultivation related stuff anywhere near my personal property so I don't get it confiscated if I get busted.

I would think any thing were possible. It's done with tabacco so why not cannabis. I would say that the problem would be space, you will need plenty of hieght so that you can keep your buds well off the ground so you don't have to worry about moisture from the ground and you will need plenty of free air movement around your buds to lessen the chance of mold. Last you will need ventilation, ridge vent, gable vent, slatted walls or some thing so the air moves.

U can dry anywhere, as long as its dark and has a relitivly low humidity level. and you have the space, u dont need alot of space, but the buds shouldnt touch anything. Pests might be a problem. Curing is completly different.

well curing i was going to do underground :P like dig a hole make a coffin style box put in the jars filled with bud and close the lid (the lid would be pretty airtight like bugs wouldnt be able to get in and than dig up the box.

Anyone think that would work?

Sorry bout hijacking the thread but i thout htis would help us both as i am sort of giving you an idea but chekcing if it works at the same time lol :P

wonderful. before u decide to hijack a thread.... read up on curiing, if u put bud in jars and burry them in the ground, your going to dig up mold. the point to curing is to open the jar once to twice a day. curing is a process its not just putting bud in a jar for months.

like jack said, if you were going to burry your bud that your curing you would have to dig it up each day to 'burp' the jar(s). I would stay away from that

makes sense, thanks. I'm thinking of building a box maybe 3-4 feet tall at my grow site and hanging only the buds (not the entire plants) in there with a bunch of newspaper or other absorbent paper I could change regularly.

Yeah, I would definitely cure indoors. The main thing about drying is the smell. But the more I think about it, if I'm gonna build a box to dry in I might as well just build one for indoors and just get a good fan/carbon filter on it and an ionizer for the smell. That should work I would think... since I'm not planning on a huge yield.

somebody help me out, there is a type of wood that soaks up moisture....just cant think of the wood. anyway you could put a bunch of these wood chips at the bottom of your box to dry a little faster

dry it and smoke it.

building boxes for drying? get a job.
