Hey gang hope you all are doing well!
I wanted to ask if cardboard box drying is okay and if a small fan oscillating will be sufficient? Also how long to keep them in the box as such? Please see last pic for reference...
Thanks again!

Hey Growmie,
Yes, drying in a cardboard box is perfectly fine, and if you are using the small fan make sure it doesn't blow directly on the buds, they'll dry too fast. With this set up it should take about 10-14 days for it to completely dry and be ready for jars. Congrats on your Harvest Also!

Should be fine to do that. Mine usually takes about a week. I know they are done when the stems break instead of bend.

At the comment of cardboard stealing odour. Most buds will loose 75% of there odour which you get back in the curing process

Hi! Yes it's ok but in my experience i noticed that cardbox exchange/steal a little odor with the weed, especially when it's dried, and thats the risk to have a weed with a slight scent of cardbox. For personal weed, usually i use a 100% oak bedside table, It mainteins the same rH during the year ahahaha anyway, with a fan only to exchange air (like pc fans, comment below) Is perfect :)

air movement directly on buds, could make them dry too quick or loose trichomes mechanically, no direct air on buds, you can put small computer fan to extract air from, but oscillating could make more harm if directed on buds.
Have in mind.

I'm living in a studio, and i wanted to dry them in my growingbox

Should i wait or cut 2 of them and hang it in my bathroom to finish the last one ?

I am coming to the end of my first grow and I am drying in a grow tent with a in-line fan and carbon filter, my question is, Do I need to add an additional fan to my tent for more airflow during the drying phase or will the inline fan have a sufficient amount of airflow?Other. Harvest - Drying

Harvest/flush time?My Special Kush#1 is today on day 32 of flowering. Today i checked the trichomes and apparently they are mostly white/milky colour. I read that this strain has a 7-8 weeks flowering time, so i was surprised to see them milky. I dont know if start to flush or wait another week.

Drying Techniques, Which One?...I have a question on drying, what are your opinions?
1)drying the whole plant fan leaves & all
2) drying the whole plant with only fan leaves removed
3) wet trim, cutting each branch off separately & then hang drying
I'm looking for best quality flower not the fastest.

Hi guys.
Planning for my drying
I’m thinking of uesing my loft space, it’s dark, temp sits between 14c and 20c and humidity between 45 and 50
I can add a fan to keep the air moving
What do u think is this ok or is it too dry and not warm enough?
Thanks 🤙
