Outdoor grow (Drying issue)

Hello! this is my first post on rollitup. This year I am participating in my first outdoor grow, I will have fifteen plants growing which I have already started in my indoor room. I have everything prepared and ready for the season except one critical element; the drying area. It is easy to dry my buds from an indoor grow, the most I've yielded from an indoor season was 1.5 pounds. Considering I am vegging my girls for about a month and a half, and using high quality soils and nutrients I think I should be able to produce a pound a plant. This brings my to my dilemma; where can I dry that much product? I have two options that I see, but I am very open to your ideas also.

My options.
1. Empty (medium sized) Silo. - My partner I am growing with has a silo which is separated from any form of electricity. However, it does have a large air hole on the top of the structure for some (not much) ventilation. I could hang wire and hang my buds and hope for the best.

2. Outdoor drying.... This isn't very appealing.

Thank you all for reading this, I look forward to your response.

yea your going to need fans and ventilation, it's a must if your planning on a big harvest. your going to wish you had a good trim area when the time comes with light as well.

If you average your weight per plant grow..which is very easily attainable. I had a 6 pounds last year and it was a BITCH to trim!!
As far as drying..I dry in a outdoor storage area attached to my barn. October can produce some warm days and if your room gets too warm your bud will dry too fast and smell like hay. Sorry to say...Fans are pretty much a must.

How about pull 1.5lbs early, flip it and rent a house for drying remainder?
You could put up a carport, propane heater, fan connected to a car battery (solar trickle charged?)

To cut noise..You could use a car battery, ac/dc car converter with a couple of plug ins...Less noise than a generator. You'll just need to recharge once or twice..maybe.
