Drying in temps below 40

[Kryptmarly]

I set up a cardboard wardrobe box with a little computer fan for drying my cannabis. Seems to be going well but it has to be in the garage and temps will be below 40 tonight maybe as low as 34. I can't really get heat to or bring the box inside. Will they be fine if the temps drop that low and does anyone have any creative ways to raise the temps if need be?

Bring them inside.

I might have to override the wife's wishes and do just that.

Bring them inside.

Fart in box?

Should heat it up nicely and will add some nice human shit terps.

That would be a gas

Update, it worked out fine. Temps stayed an even 37 in the box and humidity held at 69. I've had them drying in my makeshift dry box for 10 days at temps as low as 36 degrees at night and at most 47 during the day. One plant is already in Grove Bags and the other should be ready by tonight or early tomorrow am. I'm interested in seeing how they come out given the conditions.

Ever seen a pot plant left outdoors until frost? You’ll be fine. In Mazar I Sharif they don’t touch the plants until after the first snows have fallen on them

You should check out the refrigerator drying threads-a lot of people like cold drying. The high RH would be a big concern for me.

Yeah, i had to dry about 2lbs of outdoor on the 2nd floor of a unheated barn recently. No walls up there so my soffit vents allowed the outside temps in. I was in the mid 40's with rh getting close to 80% some days/ nights when it rained. I did have a oil filled radiator on at night close to everything hanging. Also had a oscillating fan going 24hr. I don't have grove bags but everything i put in mason jars turned out great. I'll probably dry all my outdoor this way from now on.

Edit: Made a error, humidity held at 59*

I'm drying in similar conditions. 50-60 at night and about 55- 70% humidity. then during the day it's 80 degrees and 50% humidity. It's ok but takes forever to dry and cure. I think the end product/cure is better when going low and slow like that though.

Lower temp is better just have your humidity low60 and good air circulation.
