Hey Youtube. It's finally September so drying season is almost upon us. Today I wanted to go over some drying set up options for drying cannabis. I have 7 different options in today's video. This list is not completely exhaustive, but these are just a couple of options I found while quickly browsing Amazon. Depending what items, you have at home, you may not need to buy anything. I just wanted to throw some ideas out there for people who haven't decided on how they plan to dry their herb yet.

1. Paper bags - These are one option if you're really in a pinch, can't afford a better set up, or aren't interested in achieving the best dry you can. paper bags can be found for free or for cheap at grocery stores or restaurants. Stick with unbleached paper if you can and try to use large bags if you can find them.

2. DIY Cardboard Box - Cardboard Boxes are a good option for growers on a budget. They are cheap and can often be found for free. Larger boxes are preferred for more drying space. Height is important because it allows longer stems to be dried. Cardboard boxes scales very well and can be organized and stacked to keep order and save space. It may take 2-5 minutes to create each dry box, box they fold easily and can last for years if treated well.

3. Mesh Cannabis Rack - I personally hate these mesh drying racks. They usually end up compressing the cannabis, making fine trimming tough to achieve. If you don't pay regular attention to your buds, and turn them often, the buds can easily become flat on one side. They are an inexpensive option, but I advise against this method. Hang drying is always preferable to laying fresh cannabis on its side. The fewer points of contacts between the trichomes and a surface, the better. Trichomes can easily be disturbed and broken when placed on this mesh netting and constantly jostled and rolled around.

4. Covered Clothing Rack - This is an interesting option. I never would have thought to use this, but a year or two ago, I found this was the only thing I had on hand. I tried it and things worked out really well so now I'm a believer. These Covered Clothing Racks can be a nice alternative to cardboard boxes. If you want fewer containers to manage at once and prefer to work with larger quantities at once, this may be an good option fr you. You should place a small fan in this covered drying rack to maintain air movement. You can control humidity in the drying rack, but opening and closing the zippered door. If you plan on placing this outside, be preferred to cover it with a waterproof tarp and pin it secure it to something to prevent it from falling over.

5. Waterproof tent - Tents are an interesting option, I haven't had the chance to try yet. tents are usually waterproof and they can offer a space for both you can your drying buds to stay. These are more expensive than a covered drying rack for the utility they offer. Some tents can be secured to the ground. Others have have interesting an unique features. If you want a tent purely for your buds to dry in, be mindful of the shape of the tent in order to maximize space.

6.Waterproof Storage Cabinet - These cabinets are uniquely suited for the outdoors and provide an inconspicuous place to store your priced buds. These sheds do not draw much attention at all and can oftentimes be locked up quick easily for an added layer of security. These are about comparable to the previous option, but then to make better use of the available space. Typically the shelves can be moved or removed which offered extra versatility. check your local hardware or home improvement store for the best deals on these cabinets.

7. Outdoor Storage Shed - Outdoor Sheds are ideal places to dry your cannabis. While these are the most expensive things on our list, they offer a ton in return. Storage sheds offer the most protection and privacy for your drying buds. No one will be able to easily get into your shed. they can easily be locked and can often be affixed to the last to make theft, even more difficult. You may already have a shed on your property, so be sure to use it if you have one. With a nice shed, you can dry your entire harvest at once!
