1st Grow

Kevled · Jan 21, 2019

Greetings, just coming to the end of my 1st grow. I started with a small tent kit, 2x2x4 and thought to keep my 4 plants small. 2 gorilla glue, 1 blueberry cookies, and 1 blackberry. I've been flushing by blackberry and will harvest this week but haven't thought of a suitable dark place to hang and dry them. With the other three plants with mostly cloudy tricomes, I need ideas for a makeshift drying space, any ideas?

Nice work especially for a first grow. Can you get a large cardboard box to hang them in? Maybe use some small clip fans to get some circulation?

Oh wow, thank you and good thinking. Problem solved!

The cardboard tends to wick the moisture a bit as well, just make sure you have a fan on bottom and top so you get flow

Yup some people actually go out of thier way to build these boxes with lines in em n all. Say they work great. You want to pull air in the bottom n out the top.
Also they make a net that hangs with tiers in it it works too. But it’s awkward finding area to hang it. It’s like 3 ft across n 6 ft tall.

If you don’t need your lights on you could use the tent as it’s already got a filtering system (I’m assuming). I dry in my grow space. I just have a small area sectioned off in the veg chamber. The humidity stays around 60% 24/7.

I made a quick box for this little blackberry with a box I had on hand. It's small plant but lots of thick hard packed nugs on it,
ut it’s awkward finding area to hang it. It’s like 3 ft across n 6 ft tall.

I just built a box with lines to hang the buds. This box was just for this little blackberry, it's small but has the hardest packed vuds OB ot. If this goes well I'll make a larger one here pretty soon. I have holes on all sides and on the top flap. I'll just use an isolating fan to move air. If it works well, I'll make a larger one for the rest of my plants.

Next time, I'll space my grow out a bit and do that. Right now, I have 4 new clones looking to move into a larger space.

Yeah that’s the type box I was talking about. And I never get the box empty to dry in. Always got babies waiting.
