Gonna chop and hang, got a qestion about my drying spot.

hey guys this is the first time i got a closet with no real ventilation in it. no extractor fan and nothing blowing air in. Its a really dark spot and it goes up to about 80 degrees. Its the only spot i got. Im gonna set the dehumidifier to 40% and aim a fan at the drying buds. Ill open the door about once a day to let new air in. does this sound like its gonna prevent mold? any tips from anyone in this situation?

thanks.

ty twistyman!! ill get some fresh air in daily or twice a day and rotate the branches +rep for your help bro!!

Line the walls in clean cardboard. Great for sucking up moisture! Fan blowing directly on drying buds...Not good. Dries them to fast and loss of potency results. Make sure nothing is touching, put a small fan under the plants to keep the air moving around in there.IMO Much Love.

thx for the heads up on the fan trailertrash +rep for your help. do you think 75-85 is too hot?? i dont have a thermometer but it feels cooler than the usual outdoor temp that ran from 80-95

I don't know how big your harvest is, but I know an awesome method for drying. Its what I do. Get a clean cardboard box, cut a 10x10" window on each side, put some kind of mesh screen to prevent bugs (my apartment has german roachs), use hemp twin to make a line or two going across. Hang them in the box, have a fan outside moving air, wait 5-12 days until dry, then cure. Keep the box in a dark, dry, 70-80 degree area and you should be fine.

This pic is some small clones inside my box. Due to the annoying bug problem (reason why were moving next month), I had placed strong double stick tape around twine and box entrances to prevent any pests from attacking.

pretty good idea using double sided tape, have you had any bugs caught in it?

3 baby german cockroaches. I really hate this apartment. But for some reason they never go in my grow box, even now that its dormant. I think it may have the same effect as mint plants.
