Hey everyone!

So I've got 7 autoflowers, 3x LSD by Barney's, 1x Glue Gelato by Barney's, 2x Jack Herer from Wietzaadjes (Dutch seedbank) and 1x Blueberry from Wietzaadjes, all of which have similar finishing times, but I forgot to take into account that not every plant will be ready for harvest at the same time. The 3 Wietzaadjes plants are finishing up their flowering, and as their pistils start browning and the trichomes start to develop some lovely amber colours, I've realised that I have one problem: I have nowhere to dry them. My tent will still be full, and with my first indoor grow I hung them up in the tent to dry while I still had ladies in my tent, which massively affected flavour/THC % in the end. I've learned my lesson, and won't be hanging them up to dry in the same tent, but I also don't have any space to hang them up. I rent a room, so I don't have enough space to set up a second tent for a drying space and I don't really know what to do!

I read things about drying in paper bags, but where I live (Belgium) they don't really exist and I'd have to spend at least €30 to get them in bulk. The pandemic's hit me quite hard financially, so €30 is quite a bit of money for me right now and I don't feel comfortable spending it on 100 paper bags that I'll maybe use 5-6 of. I've got some cardboard boxes laying around, both big and small, but no computer fans and I'm worried about bud rot/mould forming without a fan.

My question basically is: What are some good options of drying my weed with the limited space/funds I have at the moment? Smell isn't a problem, since the homeowners are aware of the fact that I smoke and grow and don't have an issue with it.
 
I actually lined a cardboard box with weed eater cable and just hunged my branches in there. Poked a couple holes and didnt really sealed the top so airs could get in but not light.. i dried close to 4 oz and no mold and flavour and potency weren't affected.

I do the same thing.. I use two big moving boxes.. Lined them with bamboo sticks instead of fishing line.. Used a pencil and poked some holes in the sides of the box.. I keep a hygrometer in each box, and even put a humidifier in the boxes.. I chop and hang.. Close the box, and move it to the coolest area of the house and check the temps regularly. Takes about 7-9 days at 55% rh and 70 degrees.
 
I experimented and did the box but i cut a hole on one side and stuck it right up againstone of my tent vents. It doesnt pull very much, but it does pull. And it takes care of a lot of the smell too. Brings it down to a mild fart strength. Youll smell it if youre right there, but shut a door and its fine.
