Thanks dman and the rest ... Need to figure out if the 200€ investment in another tent is worthy or perhaps i dry in the room where i have the tent, but i have a little clarity there.

What do you guys would do ? Buy a new tent just for drying where you need to use a dry net or hang them in the room with a little clarity but no direct light ?

I also love the trim hash ... Almost remember me Nepalese Temple Balls :rolleyes:
 
I just hang mine in a dark room with a blackout curtain in the window
 
And it is totally dark ? Do you guys hang in totally dark places ? Mine is dark for most part of time with like 10% clarity for 5 hours. Should this be a good place to dry ? I'm thinking it is good. What do you think ?
 
Even with my blackout curtains it still leaks around the edges a little bit. I have not experienced any difference in my buds.
 
My curtains are like that. Thanks pcduck. That was exactly what i was looking for a answer. Hit it man you deserve it ;).

I never have problems using a net to dry. What i do is trim the plant down completely while its still standing in soil and then cut off the buds, nugs and lay them in a shelved box (Shelves are made from cotton threaded back an forth) with a small extractor fan pulling air through the box. 4-5 days later i transfer to jars to cure and extract the last of the moister.

I find it much harder to manicure/ trim dry bud because it retracts into the bud, means you have to disturb it much more to get a clean bud.

Hanging upside down is only done so the bud doesn't touch anything while drying. If you use a fine net then i dont see it making much difference.

Tc :)

No, my room is nowhere near completely dark...well, at night it is! :) I see great results though...would I see better in total darkness?
 
The reason for drying, curing and storing in the dark is because light damages the trichs. I do not know to what degree but it does not help to keep them at there best.
 
Hmmmm, would be interesting to see how much difference a touch of light can make, but I have absolutely no space at this time I could even try to make into a darkroom! Well, the bedroom, but it's not heated and not used in winter months, so not good for drying either. Maybe in the spring!

Thanks bro :) Works great, has square plastic mesh(like guttergard)zip tied to the piping....lots of airflow, minimal surface contact...so no molding issues at all. Because of the design, very strong structurally.
