I have 2 strains in 1 tent that will finish at different times, how do I dry them?

[jillxjilly]

Can I immediately put them into mason jars with 62% humidity packs to dry+cure as soon as I harvest?

Anyone have experience with this? I basically grew an indica and a sativa together in a tent, not sure how to dry the indicas when I harvest them first... oops....

Do what most people do and dry them in a seperate tent or area? A cupboard maybe?

 

[jillxjilly]

Could I directly jar it in with 62% humidity packs?

you will more then likely get moldy buds if you do that. I dry for at least three days then put my buds in brown paper bags for three days then jar them.

Is this a trick question? Pull each plant when it's ready and let it dry on its own schedule. The best part is that you only need to deal with one plant at any given time, half the workload.

And that.

If it's not too much volume, you can dry in tall, thin moving boxes with wire strung inside them. Otherwise, dry wherever you normally would (besides the tent with the live plants.

I'm assuming you're worried about smell.... you could setup another tent that connects to your main tent via one peice of ducting so that air is pulled thru that tent and into your main tent then out thru the carbon scrubber.

So drying tent connects to growing tent and then your growing tent will vent both tents out providing you have negative pressure.

What I want to do is get a large tent like a 4x8 and put like two 2x4 tents inside it along the back wall so you can walk inside and zip it up and still have a 2x8 area to walk around in and then you can safely open the tents inside to do maintenance/Defoliation/harvesting/drying /manicuring ECT.... Without risk of smell

Whilst having both inside tents being vented into the larger tent then scrubbed on the way out of the big tent if that makes any sense..

Makes sense to me. It's a tent based breather room and corridor. A little pricey, but it could be effective. You might want to thing about a 5x9 tent, though. That extra foot perimeter will make it easier to move around and vent the 2x4 tents that tend to have in/out ports on the sides rather than the front. Fun design idea, though.

No. Those are for maintenance, not drying. Hang them in the biggest cardboard box you can reasonably find with a fan inside and a couple big holes to let it breathe.

Really my only issue is containing smell I have a tent (w/ carbon filter) inside a room... not sure if the smell would leak everywhere, or if it the tent would suck it in...
