So I’m probably about 2 weeks out from harvest and I’ve got no where to dry my buds I’ve seen a couple posts of people doing it in a cardboard box with a carbon filter extracting air and a little fan would this work effectively cause I can’t just dry the buds in my room will smell up my house plus it’s a small house and my neighbors arnt very nice so if anyone has tried that method before please let me know or if you have any other better methods would be much appreciated cheers

So you didn't put any thought into this problem before you started growing?

You could put a carbon filter in the room, recirculating air as a "scrubber"

Thats what I do and I harvest 50 - 55 pounds at once.

What do you mean by recirculating air? How would it filter the air in my whole room?

In the long run you want another tent OP, that you can set up at harvest time. Personally I like to still do the same thing, so it gets double filtered.
I wont even answer the door on harvest day.
Wear gloves , a hat, a dust mask.

I look like a weed ninja on harvest day. Only my eyes are not covered.

You either need a secondary carbon filter, or you need to dry in your tent, if your concerned with the smell.

As far as HOW to setup the carbon filter, it really doesnt matter. As others have said, you dont need to exhaust the carbon filter.. in a closed environment (be it a tent, closet, room, etc), a carbon filter will scrub the air continuously. The key is to just minimize air exchange in/out of the closed environment.

So assuming your not drying in your tent, and you do get a second carbon filter/fan combo... you can use a cardboard box, yes. You could also hang the buds in a closet with the filter/fan combo running, or just about anywhere else that you can minimize air exchange in/out of the room, while also keeping control over light and rH within reason.

How's this for any idea, get a Box any box cut a round hole to connect some ducting, then connect that ducting to the box and your intake of your grow tent, that way your grow tent will pull air from the box into the tent then into the scrubber ( can use an old grow tent and connect that to the intake side of the main tent)

DrZiggy's Low And Slow Drying: Maximizing Your Harvest

Since beginning this thread we've had a member show up who'd spent the years since 1993 refining this very process. He's already worked out what we were trying to discover - the most favorable atmospheric conditions, how to adjust humidity levels when it's time to jar it up, and for that matter...
