Indoor drying idea

Hello​:victory_hand: I have an idea…. I’m growing indoors for the first time, which also means I want to dry indoors…. The only problem is that my tent will still be occupied at that time… after long consideration, I came up with this setup to still use my activated carbon filter from the tent and not have any smell in the house… maybe you have some tips or ideas :victory_hand::flexed_biceps:

That looks good, should work like that. Ask @KilliczGe, if I’m not mistaken, he has already tried that.

Thanks for the link @herr_gruen

And first of all, yes. I’ve done it this way too.

I assume the “exhaust air to the growbox” arrow is pointing the wrong way. And the air should go into the tent.
Then I would perhaps place one of the two openings (passive intake air is best) in the drying box higher up.
So that the air has to flow diagonally through the carton.
If you have the inlet at the bottom and directly opposite into the tent, you’ll have a direct passage at the bottom, and the air at the top might remain static.

But otherwise, the idea is always a good low-budget solution.

I had it the other way around, where the exhaust air had to pass through the carton before flowing out.

However, I removed this carton today due to suspected mold :joy:
Don’t use it for longer than 2 years :face_blowing_a_kiss::victory_hand:t3:

Good luck, it’s sure to go well.

Always a pleasure

That’s exactly how I’ve been drying for about 1 year now, exhaust air into the cardboard box, which, however, is divided into compartments inside, and the exhaust air flows in a zigzag pattern from bottom to top through the box. Currently, I’m building a wooden setup with sieve inserts as a drying box that will be connected to the exhaust air exactly like the cardboard box… pictures to follow in the coming days.

Cool idea with the segments.
This is how you effectively guide the air where it should go.
Mine was also rather quickly thrown together :joy::victory_hand:t3:

Great

Thanks, the basic idea was to be able to carry out several stages of drying in the same box. Meaning, for example, 2 ladies harvested one after the other.

Each segment gets its own small flap for removal and filling. I also have in mind to place such a dehumidifier with salt at the very beginning, but I fear deposits on the dope from the salt… I haven’t researched that yet… I only know from the basement that this collected water from the salt is disgustingly slimy.

That’s how it is. One such container once leaked for me because I put the new salt bag on top of the old fleece bag.
Gross :face_vomiting:
