I highly recommend not foolin with 220v if you dont half to. you can die from 120v, but it is highly likely that 220v will kill you or come damn near close... if you dont feel comfortable with what you are doin with electricity.. DONT DO IT. Also, if the neutral has a load being pulled through it, it WILL be hot too.

alot less can kill you actually... its the Amps what get you.. not the voltage.

Hence why you can take 400,000 Volts from a stun gun and be ok as the ampre is low.

Still a valid point though... dont go messing around with electricity unless you are confident with what you are doing. If you are uncertain, then have asomeone who is a little more savvy look over your wiring prior to switching it all on ;)

Look into home theater equipment thei is a fan system that has temp control Thermostat, we use them with cabinets packed A/V equipment which run pretty dam hot and if you have a entertaintment system that cost $10.000 and up these fans the answer, their systems with come complete with 2" - 3" duct work.

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.

Option number one (used on my other bud dryer) is to buy a male plug from home depot & attach it to the wires comming out from the exhaust fan,this will leave you a very short lead to plug an extension cord into,it will be like plugging a power tool into an extension cord.

Option number two used on this dryer & included in the pics is to simply cut off the female end of the extension cord,match up the color coded wires one at a time,tape each one off seperately then continue on to the next wire,after wiring the fan you should take a few zip ties & secure the cord to the dryer so you cant trip & yank the cord.

More to come in a few minutes.

This idea was stolen by me from Al fuct & modified by me.

Holy crap! I'm an electrician from canada and our wiring is way different. ours is black=hot, white= neutral, green=ground.

Sorry for not answering the questions posed to me in my tutorials on tis site but i got extremely sickened by the children playing weed baron on this site derailing threads & tutorials & i gave up on sharing the things ive learned,i mostly only visit the site nowadays for research but occasionally ceck a thread or two.

Over the last year ive totally redsigned all of my dryers,the upgrades include jumping up in size to using 40 gallon holding bins that are able to hold 5 seperate shelves,ive also installed thermostrtats to every unit to automatically turn the heat on & off at desired drying temps.

The new dryers still dry in 3 or 4 days but are able to hold between a half lb up to 3/4 of a lb depending on bud size & density.


One of theese days i will post up some pics as well as instructions.

Take care all & be safe growing.

So do you do a final trim before putting the buds into the containers? Or do you leave them leafy still then do a final manicure after they are completely dry.
