Looking to set up a tent specifically for drying/curing.

[Greengonja]

Would this order give me all I need for a good drying/curing setup? Or what else should I add to this order?

Havn't had a drying tent.
So can't help.
Looks like you're covered to me though.
You even got the jars and the loupe.
Maybe something to measure humidity?

That would be a good idea. I’ll order some hydrometers as well. The air ventilation system I’m ordering with this tent should be able to control temp and humidity. (HOPEFULLY)

How do you generally dry and cure your bud?

Oh i rather not answer that.
I mess up everything from first drying to burping.
Trying to do better this time though.
After around 3 years of growing i still don't have a good drying system.
Shame on me.

Are you planing on using boveda packs?

I was going to order some but the drying jars I am ordering actually can control humidity from outside the jar.

You got this man!

Looks pretty good but depending on the climate where you are you'll probably need a humidifier to keep RH close to 60%. I don't use the mesh rack, I just run some string or wire across the tent and hang buds on those. With the carbon filter you don't really need to exhaust out of a window. Good Luck.

How are you keeping the temperature down in the room while the drying is happening? Are you using any cooling like Air con or just letting it adjust naturally?

A perpetual grow can work really well with two tents. You simply stagger the stages—one tent dedicated to propagation and early veg, and the other to flowering. By timing it right, you always have a batch in each stage, so once one dries, another is ready to move in. This keeps your harvests continuous and efficient.

A drying tent is going to be a game changer for you, especially if you throw an inkbird in there with a humidifier/dehumidifier in there for 2 way control to keep it automatically dialed.

If you want to try something without spending a lot of money you can use a tote box with some holes drilled in, and you can get old school 2 way control with a cup of damp rid and a cup of water sitting in there at the bottom. For temperature control you can freeze 2 liter bottles of water and place them outside the tote making contact with the box and it will help keep it cooler without contributing condensation.

But with a tent and some controllers, you can set and forget. I'm semi retired now and if you're not, go with the automation.

I use a 2x2 tent with an exhaust fan and carbon filter in my drying tent. It has two round metal drying racks with clips that is attached to a rotating carousel motor at the top of the tent. As far as fans go all you need for drying is to keep some air moving without aiming fans directly on your plants. I use one small fan on the floor aimed so it keeps air moving but not on the plants. I’ve got a wired hygrometer with probe and a spare WiFi one if I need it. The room is a storage room and I can target the correct environment.

I dry mine around 14 days and keep humidity a bit on the lower side at around 55. The dried flower gets trimmed and gets put away in one ounce Grove Bags. I have no complaints about my drying and curing routine. After about 4-6 months it smells amazing. I can’t smoke or dry herb vape due to receiving a transplant of my own T-Cells in March but I should be able to test taste and smoothness again by the end of the year. Right now oncologist insists that I make gummies and oils until immunity builds up closer to normal. I grow in soil so taste and smoothness is an obsession.

Anyways, invest a couple hundred bucks on a drying tent rig and it’s a lot cheaper than a Canitrol drying cabinet. I’m all about work arounds and saving money.
