Indoor Drying in a garden shed?

[Think]

Hey growers my Autox's have 2 weeks left and I'm hoping to dry it in my garden shed (which is water proof)
inside a cardboard box it's summer here atm as well.

What do you guy's think?

Cheers Mr TD "AFN smoke out"

As long as the temps don't get over 80F* daily then you should be fine ... I use a box w/ an open top to assure fresh air w/o a breeze ... you should get a quality hygrometer so you can know your rh at all times ... Western Caliber II is a good reasonable hygrometer. As with any instrument, cheap ones can't be trusted ...

Okay man cool thanks! well what can happen if it does get to 80F ? I'll be away one weekend while it's drying so I won't be able to do anything, shall I get a fan blowing into the box for 15 mins every hour?

yeah ya need a hygro.I just dried mine for 4 days and threw in a jar last night and guess what this morning.son of a bitch if that fuker wasn't at 58%.damn screwed up the cure.oh well still real potent

No fan ... just leave the top off the box ... a lot depends on the rh in the space whether you can cure slow or have to cure a little faster ... a little extra heat (not a lot) shouldn't hurt it ...

Okay man cheers! I don't want to keep the top of it open as light might get in was thinking of cutting holes in the side of the box for fresh air?

Done this many times in shed. Just choose a fortnight where it is less than 28c every day during the initial dry. If the plant drys to quickly the chlorophyll can not dissipate and makes the weed taste really crap.
A slow dry at room temps is best. In your shed make sure the weed is in a cool place(18-22c) if possible. Then the remainder dry can be elsewhere if preferred.
Same can be done in your attic to dry weed but if it is your peak summer, shed and attic may be far too hot and dry too quick.
Some parts of Europe/Cannada may only have mild summers, then this is possible on almost any summer week. Also too cold and moist weather may produce mold whilst drying...that's worse yet to weed!
