Drying outdoors

[Lickalotapus]

Has anyone had any success drying buds outdoors ? If mother nature permIts i may have a fair amount of bud to dry at harvest next year and dont really want to bring that sort of quantity around my place.

I plan on drying and sealing up the goods in food vacume and storing out there until required .

Possible ? Or am i asking for trouble with mould?

 

Cheers guys looking forward to some ideas

Hey u probably could dry outside if the weather was good but if ur in melb i wouldnt count on it

If its warm and dry, outside in the shade till ready, then if ya can, curing would be best before packing it away. Burping removes moisture from buds before packing away in Vac bags.

Yeah i guess it will come down to weather , maybe better buy a dehumidifier and a few carbon filters and fans encase i have to dry it at home.

Get yourself a good quality heavy duty army green canvas , some quality rope , few pegs .

 

Rope between two trees ,throw canvas over ,peg the ends to the ground , there u go .

 

Chuck bit of scrub over it and your set mobile drying room .

 

Or take yourself camping one tent for u one tent for your pot if your in a secluded area

Like D.R.S.D said canvas or hanging it in heshen? heshan?hescian sac, how ever the fuck its spelt (I'm baked potato right now so probably none of them),, A plant per bag or two, a vent hole, hung in a shady tree here and there works well if weather permits. Drying indoors does stink so carbon filters will take away a good deal of paranoia. Best of luck come harvest time.

Cheers thats a top idea , would work out much cheaper than fans and carbon filters , harvest ime last year it pissed down rain for two months on the east coast due to those consequative cyclones up north , hopefully we dont get a repeat this year , stupid mothernature drowned most of my crop last year

[Lickalotapus]

Well this year technically but "last crop"

Basically what everyones said,

- Tarp/canopy hung up in a sheltered area

- Wires running underneath to hang the (trimmed!) buds from,

- Not too much vegetation underneath the canopy (want to avoid bugs and humidity)

- The smaller you cut down the colas, the better and quicker they will dry (avoid mold)

 

Dont give them too much more than a week or so, after that spiders just move in as does mold,

If its been windy they should be nice and crisp, if not give them some time in a container with rice and paper towel as a desiccant.

And yep good luck, used this technique a few times with good results!
