If you are limited on available places to dry you can try the following (mate of mine did it with no ill effect)
Cut wet & split branches away from main stem.
Hang buds above your light (he used LED so heat wasnt high)
Make an opened ended 'cocoon' of black paper and clip loosely around your buds for some light-proofing.
Point a fan in direction of the open end of the dark zone for some airflow but don't give the drying buds gale-force winds.
Weed dries in a good environment, plenty of air flow, heat and light won't damage your THC, if RH isn't too high you shouldn't have an issue, keep your extractor running as it will deaden off the smell.

Trim them as heavy or light (personal preferance here) as you want and hang them somewhere dark for a week. watch for ventliation.

I have a closed herb dryer. It has 5 shelves in it and a small pc style fan and a carbon filter at the top. Cost about £60. I trim wet and place the buds Inside, zip it up and just turn the buds over every couple of days. It's quite cool. Hangs from the ceiling when in use and folds away and goes in a draw when finished with.

You will need to hang dry for 5-7 days min then jar them. I don't use packs when i jar. I just burp them for the first few weeks. Never had a problem with my cure. I always do a quick trim before i hang my branches.

I could possibly get it colder in the closet if I attach a hose too push the cold air in the closet if that would help ?

You need to dry for at least a week before jarring. Otherwise, you're almost guaranteed to end up with mold.
60 is a good RH to dry at, while 70 would be a little risky. You would need to make sure that there's really good airflow to mitigate those risks. Also, at 70, you're probably looking at 12 days or so of hanging before you can clip and jar.

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.

I'm still worried because the temperatures still haven't dropped this afternoon, it rose to 33 degrees and I tried, as you see in the videos, putting two fans or one big one and nothing.
Do you recommend turning on the light at night in the morning and how would it be to change t

High humidityHello. Even with a dehumidifier and a 24-hour extractor, the humidity is still above 70% and one of the plants is almost in the flowering period. Can I add expanded clay on top of the vase to see if it lowers the humidity or putting more perlite will solve this? Thanks.Other. General questions
