SRH, it may be dry where you are, but its not even CLOSE to aus/africa (about the same humidity, at around 5% inland and 20-40% on the coast)
im in the middle of BC and the humidity is usually around 40-70%......upwards of 90 at night. aus/africa its basicly 3-30 feet os sand or dry clay, which dont hold moisture. with the amount of vegetation anywhere else (including some city's......) creates moisture over night, dissipating it in the morning.......the buds would just get wet every night and mold within 2-3 days.
the simple gr. 4 fact of:condensation.

hang upside down in a dark cool room till the stems snap then put them in a brown paper bag for a while opening and moving the buds around prevents mold and other nastys

I'm currently growing 35 plant outdoors but have no way of drying that much bud in my house is there anyway to dry them out doors all at once the spot i got is not that easy to get too all the time you know what i mean so im trying to harvest and dry them in the same location i can also check on them every day but im not sure i would bring them to my own hose but i live some bitch parent so cant dry that much bud in my house i would smell alot so im not trying to do that but if i can dry all of it outside how??????????????????????? :confused::weed:
I would try renting a storage unit for a month; you could visit the storage unit (a lot) to get some fresh air in there and to setup your ventilation/dehumidifier-humidifier.

I had a friend who did that years ago; of course, he did choose the unit himself; he made sure there was no mold/mildew in it, and he also picked one that didn't have a lot of Traffic if you know what I mean.

btw, that was some hard reading :)

when i was young and living with my parents i used to dry my harvest in a car with the windows closed, its more of a quick dry and it only takes a day or two. Not sure if 25 lbs would fit in a car tho...lol

if u don't live in a humid area and it's secluded find a canopy of trees that blocks out some sunlight (like an area u wouldn't grow ur plants) and leave it there after a couple of days bring ur paper bags and leave in for a week or 2 under somekind of shelter (under a portable maybe?
when dried and cured double bag and change ur clothes and hide ina closet,
only thing i can think of
peace

Just some brainstorming on an interesting problem...

-If you can get down in the storm drains in your neighborhood, some of them have VERY large tunnels beneath. Be very careful fucking around in there, but if you have a brain and it's obviously safe you could hang them underground in the cold and dark and dry storm drains, you are just fucked as can be if it rains 1" or more or if it isn't dry in there yet. When it is dry in there, it's like the Sahara. Only drier. If it rained at all you would have to rescue them or lose them.

-If you could find a place to park it in the shade you can rent very large box trucks, you just need a far out of the way place in the shady woods to park it. Set up a small air exchanger system with a hepa filter and you're set. This is a problem that enough duct tape and plastic can solve, and oh how we all love that.

-Forget hotel/motel, that's just fucking stupid. That's like at BEST 1/10 chance you get utterly fucking busted hugely and end up on the news looking like an idiot. Rent a cabin in some out of the way place for a week. Find the best deal closest to you. This is probably what I would do if I had a large amount to deal with. I mean, OUT OF THE WAY. And be so clean and tidy that you can eat the floor. Methodical crazy like.

what kind of advice is that.
go into a storm drain holy shit buddy.
Mmmmmmm sewer and piss pot, moisture and dissease. nice

in atruck were you going to get power to run the fans and stuff you say to use. run a cord out the door and plug into 7-11. that should smell good

yeah and the way he dryed the bud it really fucked the bud up. Also his curing method is way wrong and another thing is like bonz said he lives in Australia ..... and i don't there. Ive been thinking and what i am going do is just set up a tent and every night go and take all my boxes with the drying bud in them and simply place them outside of the tent it will get plant of air cirulation. Then every moring at like 7:00 put them back in the tent. Then i can cure at my house i think it will work still worried about humitity

cover the ground, keep as far away as you can less moisture. it would be nice to have some kind of prpane heater or camp heater if it was remote enough. if you use a tarp or tent use a dark colour for less heat during the day. i would put them under cover at night and out during the nice days. ther is more moisture out of the tent at night and less during the day

camp heaters or sheperds stove/ airtight heater.......there small wood heaters that you can get for fairly cheap, and wood heat=dry heat.

if your thinking of doing this multiple times in the future, i would sugest what i've actualy been thinking of for a "sellers crop", and that is to buy a jutlund style wall-tent and a 3x1x2 sheperds stove.....set it up and do all the drying there, out in the woods
