I agree with you lilmafia, BUT, we do have to keep in mind that not everyone is mechanically inclined or not very good with handy work or making stuff on their own. Absolutely no offense to anyone not wanting to or not able to make their own, just stating the facts of life is all.

Oh yea, thanks for the +rep on my dryer Lilmafia. +rep back at ya bro. :peace:

isnt it better for the buds to dry longer tho without speeding it up. Something with the THC or something doing chemical stuff.

Panhead outlined how this dryer can be used and have no signs of error in drying the buds. This is a 4 day slow dry box. The only way you degrade THC on buds is if you try to quick dry them(oven,microwave,top of tv).

I used the box that my reflector hood came in, ran strings inside through holes punched through the box, and hang buds on the string. Mine can be dry in about 4-5 days this way, but pans idea is still awesome. I will be building one of these one day.

I believe pan also once stated that he has a few of these dryers going on a regular basis, and has no complaints from anyone about difference in taste, smell, or burn.

The curing process is what brings out the taste,smell, and great high. If you dont cure you will be smoking partially wet bud, and it will taste like a plant.

After the buds feel crisp, like there is a thin crusty shield around the bud, you are ready to cure.
Put the buds in mason jars loosely, and put the lid on. Every day for one week open the jars and inspect the buds for mold or any other issues. If you find moldy weed throw it out. The inspecting process should last about 20-30 minutes to allow the air to move around the buds.
The nest week open the jars every other day.
The nest week open the jars two or three times throughout the week. After this point they arte ready, but you can let them cure longer for better results.

should cut a mirror or piece of glass for the bottom to catch all of the resin glands that fall off. Much easier to collect them than on the bare plastic bottom.

Hooking up the exhaust fan you have several options,option number one is the most flexible,a standard inline fan from Home depot has 3 wires comming out of it,White = Hot,Black = Ground & Blue or Green = Neutral.


I want to clarify what you said. Black is always (Hot or load) Red is the second (hot or load) White is always Neutral, and Green is always (earth or ground). load 1 to neutral = 120V load 1 + load 2 to neutral = 220V. Neutral and ground are connected back at the main box. so they are kind of the same thing. (not safe to use ground as a neutral lead but can be done).

couple ideas I can see right off to add heat to it would be :

1. Using an Infrared lamp as marijuana doesn't respond to >700nm wavelength I believe.

2. Using a peltier device with an aluminum heat sink to warm the air.


That is all
