As harvest time approaches one thing had been on my mind heavy and that is I hav no where to hang and dry them not a closet or nothing is available

I thought about getting a small tent to dry...if im not worried about smell do I need a carbon filter to vent air or can I just use a dehu and a fan on the floor moving air ?

A tent would be perfect, some people even use those u haul closet boxes. No need for carbon filter if you don’t care about smell. Do your best to keep it 60F/60rH and aim for the slowest dry possible without getting bud rot to save the most terpene profiles. Obviously we live in reality and we can always keep a perfect 60/60 so if you can only get tent/box to 65F try upping the rH to 65, but I wouldn’t go much past 65%rH. And remember we’re aiming for the slowest dry possible to get best terpene profiles.

I used a 2x2 tent, ac infinity exhaust fan, and kept it all zipped shut.
I put my light timer on a fan, set to run 15 min per hr.

My temps were too high, because my a/c couldn't beat the 100 heat outside, Had some 75 -76f inside temps at times. Stuff turned out fine. Then the humidity was low in the building because the a/c running all out..... I put open water containers all over the bottom of my tent to keep it at least 50rh.
Stuff still took a week to dry:)

Grab a cheap 2x2 tent start seedlings in it and start vegging in it while you use you main tent for drying. After you dry, move the vegging plants to the main. A 2x2 is great for starting few plants for taking clones from. You can start the clones in there too. A Decent 2x2 should be about $50-60 and will pay for itself. I bought this one from Maxsisun and couldn't be happier, it's built good and has a very good zipper, has pull cord sleeves to secure ducting. Hands down beats my Agromax!

Get creative, all you need is these things:
Humidity between 45-65 although anywhere around 55 is good
Airflow, enough to move air in room, keep air movement indirect on buds
Temps around 70f is good

Now you can play around with everything about 10 degrees or so, but I go by this rule. If the temp increase, so does the humidity to counteract over drying, and vice versa! I see nothing wrong with flucuations throughout the day as well, it's keeps any baddies from getting comfortable haha

In your situation with basically nothing available, a cardboard box is fantastic and do-able! The size is your choice, but a tent is even better! Good luck
