Simple project: DIY drying screen

Found almost all of my material @ the Dollar store.
$5 bucks
Walmart $ 1.10

Tools
Scissors
Drill with bits

Material
3 - cheap wooden picture frames
1- Roll of string
1- White Glue
1- 1 yard Tulle ( it's a nylon material that looks like window screen) or you can ask a girl what Tulle is.) - found @Walmart

Simple instruction on how I made my 3 layer screen dryer.

-Take the picture frames an remove the glass/plastic and that fake photo.
- Apply glue around the 4 flat surfaces
- Let glue tack up (dry a little bit ,till sticky)
- Lay Nylon Tulle over the frame. (stretch out those winkles)
- After glue completely drys.
- Trim excess Tulle
- Drill a hole in each corner of the frame.
- String the 3 frames together through the 4 corner holes.
- Tie a knot in string @ each level for screens.

and there you go. Simple and CHEAP

Just thought I would share:peace:

Thanks
Would have added 2 more levels. But, I bought all the largest frames the Dollar store had.
I did leave some extra length of string for future screens.:weed:

Here's mine, I tweaked Ringsixty plans a little by using snap together shelving. Each individual square measures 12"x12". Each level has 4 squares snaped together and measures 24"x24". It's currently 3 levels with enough cotton clothes line rope to add a fourth level. I picked up the tulle at Michaels Arts and Crafts $9.75 plus tax.It measures 1yd x 5yd. Everything else I had laying around. I not going to glue the tulle to the frame. I plan on changing it with a fresh sheet when it gets sticky with resin. Believe me it will get sticky!

So do you just trim all your buds right off the plant then lay them on this screen and keep it in a dark place for how long?

Someone press the "Easy" button!

Hydro stores, man, 30-40 bucks for a fancy nylon thing.

I love cheap effective solutions!

I trim my girls after harvest. Then hang for a few days. Then remove the buds leaving a little stem for snap test.
Place on drying rack for final drying in the dark. ( Yes in the dark)
Always check the smaller buds that will dry out quicker.
When done drying, put into air tight container for curing.

That's what how I do it.

Some people don't hang. The just go straight to drying on the rack.
It's up to the grower which way they would like to do it.
