Will this be sufficient to dry some small buds, the box is positioned at the top of my tent, temps in the tent is 26c and humidity between 50 and 60%, everytime I hang buds up it the tent with no box it gets that stinking hay taste,

i use a box like that but I put the buds in paper lunch bags to dry. No hay taste or smell.. I think there is a big post around here somewhere talking about the paper bag method.

My last ww plant that I harvested I hung to dry at top of tent and then into a brown chipshop paper bag, it was stinking to smoke,,, a waste of 79 days work, but I learned a lot from that plant. Hopefully the lemonberry drys right so I didn't waste all my time, it smells beautiful,
u see the hole in corner of the box,, I originally had a computer fan on thier but took it off as it was the ideal temperature inside the box, u think it would better with it on??
wish me luck

I have 2 cutouts in mine with a computer fan blowing on one side and exhausting through another in the opposite corner of the box. I wet trim all my bud and put about 5 grams worth of nugs strait into each lunch bag. After a few days I'll go through the bags and fluff them up a bit and make sure no buds are clumped together. Lots of guys are successful with various paper bag methods, I have to wonder if maybe it was just strain selection that didn't work for you on your last run ?

Was it one of those waxed paper bags? It needs to be pure paper so it can absorb the moisture. St Tom uses the paper bag method, ask him about it. He did a post recently in the UK growers thread.
