My current drying setup ,is above my Grow lights for roughly 8 to 10 days ,then into paper bags placed into a large tub, to slow the drying ,after 3 or 4 days I put all buds into jars ,after a final trim , after 4 wks I start to smoke it π. Biggest issue drying ,is that the surrounding air is too dry ,as I have to do all my drying in my bedroom in my apartment π. My next harvest will be in 6 weeks.

Hello, right now I donβt have a dedicated drying system. I normally dry in a small spare room/wardrobe setup with passive airflow, oscillating fan nearby (not directly on buds), and I monitor temp/RH manually with hygrometers. I try to stay around 60/60 but weather makes it difficult to keep stable conditions consistently.
Biggest drying problem is humidity swings and inconsistent drying speed. Sometimes the outside dries too quickly while the middle still holds moisture, especially during warmer days. Iβm also trying to avoid terpene loss and that from uneven drying. Space efficiency and smell control are also a challenge.
My next harvest should be in around 5-6 weeks (29/06/26).

Iβd genuinely love to test the DryRocket and properly document the whole process from harvest to cure with detailed updates, humidity readings, dry times, and final quality results for the community.

I use more alike the tent i grow to dry as well as it can keep or loose humidity as it opens.So i lack of a drying setup or so and this is my biggest problem.
my next harvest expected 3/6/26

As you can see inside my profile how i did dry up my AK47 and the Barney's Trio i use just whatever hanger i find to hold them up and leave it to dry out in a couple of days but evenly.
It would be nice to have a drying setup to see the differences of the bud when it comes out... So far i noticed to much air could be harmful to buds.
Probably a better humidity control to gain as well.

Iβve actually been curious about the @DryRocket since the previous contests, so Iβll try my luck once again.
My current drying setup is fairly simple and has worked well for me so far, although I mostly dry larger harvests in an 8x8 ft tent (roughly 2.4 x 2.4 m).
My usual process is to harvest the plants and spend the first day to day-and-a-half around 45% RH to help remove some of the initial surface moisture. After that, I stabilize the environment between 18-20Β°C (64-68Β°F) and around 60% RH for roughly 7-10 days depending on the cultivar, flower density, and overall conditions.
One reason Iβm interested in testing the DryRocket is because Iβm honestly not sure if it is designed for a drying environment as large as mine. Most of my harvests are dried in that dedicated 8x8 space, so I would be very interested in seeing how the DryRocket performs under those conditions and whether it can improve consistency across the entire drying cycle.
My biggest drying challenge is maintaining perfectly even conditions throughout larger harvests. While my current method works well, there is always room for improvement when it comes to consistency, predictability, and preserving quality.
My next harvest is expected within soon, and I document everything from seed to harvest through detailed grow diaries, including environmental data, drying observations, curing results, and final smoke reports.
If selected, I would be happy to provide honest feedback, whether the DryRocket becomes a game changer in my setup or whether I discover limitations in a larger drying environment. Either way, I believe real-world testing is what helps growers learn.
Good luck to everyone applying, Growers Love and thank you for the opportunity. π

Hi Dry Rocket team,
First of all Thank you kindly for hosting a contest on your amazing product.
Shortly ago i've started growing and my first plant is showing signs of flowering
(growdiaries.com/diaries/310155-grow-journal-by-tjaym)
i'd be a happy tester soon!
My grow situation:
Im Growing from inside my shed in a tent, living in a colder climate ( The netherlands.) my biggest issues are temprature and Humidity.
Using a HPS lamp to try and up the temp a little/ lights on over night.

1) Essicco i fiori all'interno della grow box appendendo le piante intere a testa in giΓΉ, oppure, se ho tempo, separo ogni singolo ramo e lo appendo a testa in giΓΉ. Occasionalmente utilizzo lo stendino con ripiani separati. Monitoro e mantengo costante l'umiditΓ utilizzando l'unitΓ di controllo e il deumidificatore. Per quanto riguarda la temperatura di essiccazione, posso mantenerla stabile solo in inverno perchΓ© il luogo in cui coltivo, non abitandoci, non ha riscaldamento, quindi posso stabilizzare il parametro senza problemi con una stufa elettrica e l'unitΓ di controllo. Tuttavia, se dovessi terminare la coltivazione nei mesi estivi, posso stabilizzare solo l'umiditΓ poichΓ© non ho l'aria condizionata.
2) Come accennato al punto 1, nei mesi piΓΉ caldi non riesco a stabilizzare la temperatura come dovrei e quindi sono costretto ad essiccare molto piΓΉ velocemente a causa del calore eccessivo, con il problema di perdere significativamente il profilo terapeutico.
3) Il prossimo raccolto avverrΓ nell'ultima settimana di giugno 2026. Purtroppo, sono spesso costretto a lavorare principalmente durante i mesi piΓΉ freddi dell'anno. Vivo nel nord Italia, dove il clima Γ¨ molto piΓΉ fresco rispetto al centro e al sud Italia. Ho vissuto nel sud Italia dal 2017 al 2022 e mi sono ritrovato a coltivare tutto l'anno, non per scelta ma per necessitΓ , e ho dovuto affrontare il problema delle temperature troppo elevate per l'essiccazione, da maggio a ottobre! Dove vivo ora, invece, i mesi piΓΉ problematici per l'essiccazione vanno dall'ultima settimana di giugno alla prima settimana di settembre...
E a questo punto, sono molto curioso di vedere come funziona il Dry Rocket durante tutto l'anno e se puΓ² fare un lavoro migliore del deumidificatore controllato dal controller.

Hi, i dry my plants in my growtent 70x70x160 after harvest with 2 carbon filters.
My biggest and only problem is the temperature in the summer cca 27Β°C, i dont have AC, humidity is no problem, have humifier and dehumifier.
Next harvest will be in next two weeks depends on trichomes.

well, i would love to have a space for drying as i only got my grow tent to dry in atm π.
could be a nice upgrade for my grow!
EDIT* ("I apparently cant read")
Your current drying setup (or lack of one)
My grow tent.
Your biggest drying problem
my biggest problem is that i cant really harvest seperatly, so i need to harvest the whole tent to propperly dry my herb.
When your next harvest is expected
around 31-05-2026 i expect my plants to be ready for harvest.

My current setup is a drying rack hanging from the door in a spare room. It works fine for my indoor grow, but I would like to have a good way to dry my outdoor harvest.
Outdoor cannabis is more susceptible to mould and good drying lowers the chance of losing my harvest to mould.
I expect my next outdoor harvest in September/october 2026.

My current drying setup is hanging plants in my tent followed by dry trimming and then curing in grove bags, Usually my biggest biggest drying problem is its too hot here in Spain. Next harvest expected no later than 2 weeks so probably too early for this comp unfortunately but good luck to everyone! growdiaries.com/diaries/306622-grow-journal-by-thomas86 πͺ

Using 2x4 tent and negative air pressure to maintain 60/60 for up to 10 days darkness. Depending on size annd density. sweat buds by monitoring textures and using brown paper bag or bucket to βburpβ if humidity or moisture is condensing. Next harvest is in 4 weeks. I harvest every 6 weeks with my veg: flower system. Biggest drying problem is the use of my grow tent where I would typical be starting on a future batch instead of having to use for drying purposes

JackJolla commented24d ago
HHello to all growers!
This contest comes at just the right time. This is my first indoor grow: in the past I have always grown outdoors with friends, but for the drying phase they always used food dehydrators, which made the final product way too dry.
This time, I was considering building a small DIY drying box to keep in the same room as my grow. I realized that I will have to harvest in multiple stages, so I wonβt be able to use the grow tent, as it will still be occupied by the final maturation of the last plant, which is behind in development.
My main concern is the high humidity: Iβm worried it could cause problems during drying, especially in terms of mold or uneven drying.
Do you have any advice on how to manage this stage properly, or how to design a simple but effective drying box?
I find the DryRocket option very interesting, also because I have never carried out these operations before and Iβm afraid of damaging what, so far, looks like it could turn into a good harvest. If everything goes as hoped, the harvest should take place around mid-June to early July.
Greetings to everyone!

@JackJolla, I think that drying with Dryrocket is fantastic, many people use it and the results seem excellent... certainly the ones I've seen are all in growboxes, so I can't tell you how it would work with something homemade.

Growzzbud commented23d ago
Heeeeeyyy!!! So my current drying setup is
a tiny bathroom smaller than my grow tent π Somehow it has the perfect drying climate. Iβve tried more βproβ setups before, but nothing dries my plants as evenly and smoothly as that tiny room. Stable humidity, slow dry, good airflowβ¦ it just works.
Definitely overthinking and trying to optimize too much is my biggest problem. One summer when I was still pretty new to growing, I completely overdried a harvest trying to avoid mold. The buds got so dry that just looking at them felt like they would turn into dust π Since then Iβve become obsessed with slow drying and stable humidity.
Next harvest expected:
Within the next 1β2 weeks. First up is a Sticky Broccoli pheno, followed by Red Hot Cookies reveg, and Gomu Gomu Mango.
