Maybe but yeild definitely suffers harvesting early.

You can, yes...but a cardboard box inside with a frozen water bottle and a clean damp/wet rag will do it better and take up minimal space.

If u have “”no”” choice but to dry outside, just cover the plants up at night (not wrapping, but
just cover the top from dew).
Do not cut the bud branches off, dry the whole plant & if possible shad from direct Sun.
When the Buds start to feel dry…remove a branch(or whole plant if small) —bring it inside & put it in a camping cooler (“”WITH a humidity gauge”” critical)
after several hrs check humidity if around 60-65% leave it alone & bring in the other tops keep them off the cooler floor using hanging screen material or anything along those lines
as a rack or several racks if cooler deep enough & CHECK humidity again… if humidity goes under 60% simply put 1 or 2 small pcs wet paper towel on cooler floor to re- humidify to 60-65%…now depending on humidity level of cooler you will open it several times a day for 10-20 min give or take.
DO this outside to keep odor out of house then shut the cooler & bring it back in. Keep target humidity at 60-65% roughly. I overlap the screen material outside of the cooler & tape it to hold it up off cooler floor. Just make sure lid closes tight no odor & no humidity loss…
(It takes trying it out to get the experience)
I vertical hang dry all my plants in my lower level back basement room, 69f avg 8-9 days
& then cut bud branches & place into large coolers for 3-4 wks curing/burping, I’ll also put a 10 pound Wgt on top to make sure sealed…then trim the Buds & into mason jars for 4 more weeks curing.
I prefer 60-63% bud humidity level while curing.
This is what I do & perfectly happy with the end product. Have friends that go right to mason jars for curing after drying the bud branches & trimming them…we all agree the profile is about the same either way.

It really wouldnt be considered pulling early. We learned here ''if it looks done go 2 more weeks'' if anything we are pulling too late, its why we see many reports of late nanners. Meanwhile speaking as if the breeder dosnt know what HE is doing. Time to rethink this like we found out feeding to the tips burn lowers quality.

Maybe you could try what this dude did?? Shit sounds wild but I think you can handle it.
Underground drying
Im in the process of digging a hole thats 7 feet tall, to fit a wooden box into to dry my plants. Its going to be standard wood with nothing sprayed or coated on it because I dont want any chemicals on my plants. I will have it completely sealed off and light proof, Ill have it simply ventilated...
