Harvest & Curing Drying in my tent. Need advice. DR60

[SouFou]

Hello,
The tent is a DR60, the size is 60x60x140

So the plan initially was to buy cardboard boxes and some computer fans and dry each plant individually as they were ready. It seems they're only about 2 weeks out of each other and now I'm considering drying in my tent. I have only ever dried one plant in a tent so 4 is a bit intimidating. I have an RVK with a fan controller and I'm going to bump that down to minimum and 2 passive intakes at the bottom which will hopefully bring fresh air through the buds. On paper this seems fine and I see no problems but I thought best to ask more experienced users how to go about this. I have included crudely drawn diagram (lol) to try and explain a bit more.

Would there be a problem with the 2 plants being hung lower than the other 2? The above two will be closest to extraction and the bottom 2 closest to passive intake. Don't think there's really much I can do about this. It would be great to hear anybody's thoughts about this or if anyone has ever been in a similar situation

You'll be fine, as long as you have negative pressure in the tent, and the plants do not rest on each other. A clip fan, pointed towards the tent wall to create a little airflow. Watch your humidity, depending on your location.

As niceneasy says, keep the air in there moving, and control your humidity and you will be good. If the tent gets too dry, reduce air extraction by partially blocking passive intakes. If too high, more extraction. If the humidity in the room outside the tent is >~50%, you will not be able to get the air in the tent dry enough without a dehumidifier in the room. Do you have a hygrometer to measure RH in the tent? They are cheap if you don't, and a good idea throughout a grow not just when drying.

I have a clip on fan, but is that really needed when the extraction is on 24:7? Wouldn't an extra fan just speed up the drying process? Yes I have a hygrometer.
