well if the chest is large enough for adequate air flow is go for it add a fan if there is room. you wont over dry. but i wouldn't put wet buds in there i would wait a week. i think the moist buds might absorb the flavor of cedar. i do finish hanging in a cedar closet that is 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide. then they go into jars when the stems crack. but the first week i leave in the grow room behind black poly.
