Re: hang drying in a box.. outdoors?

I doubt it is ever going to get 65 Celsius since that is around 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Drying outside is fine, in fact most of the commercial stuff in N. CA is dried for a few days outside. As long as it is dry and not raining. One trick you might try is "girdling". A week before they are done wrap a wire or zip tie around the stem and slowly strangle the plant. That stops the sugars from flowing to the roots and they move instead to the the buds. It will eventually kill the roots and the plants will die but in the meantime you will get bigger buds with a higher thc content, less harshness from Chlorophyll and a way shorter drying time. Originally that was how Acapulco Gold was done. It's a little bit tricky so if you want follow along on my journal. We should start the process in about 40 days.
