Drying / Curing with limited resources questions

[IWubMarijuana]

Hi Guys.

I've potentially got some bud I need to dry, but I don't have a closet I can hang it in, and I'm not sure about the importance of air circulation.

I live in California, so the humidity is between 20-60% (Redondo beach, if that helps..)

I have these plastic boxes that are like 3 feet wide, by 2 feet long, and maybe half a foot deep. I'm wondering if there's some material that absorbs moisture, that I could put in there along with the buds (on a screen, like those things you put vegetables on to keep them from getting bruised?) that would absorb the moisture (helping dry the bud) and I could just put the plastic "drying" box under my bed (dark place, 60-70*F all the time)

Would this produce acceptable results for drying / curing? Is there such a product? How important is fresh air, and how often should I open the box and wave fresh air in / out / turn the buds?

Thanks much guys.

If they are still "fresh", I'd recommend just going and getting some brown paper bags from the grocery store and start the drying in that for a few days. It will help absorb extra moisture at a much better rate than just the plastic.

Be sure to place the buds in loosely, and turn every few hours..or at least once a day. Leaving the bag open when you can will help regulate.

Then, after they get a little crispy you can finish in the under bed boxes.

May be possible to leave them in a room with a ceiling fan and the open brown bags so you get some circ.

Be aware of odor also...could get stinky!

So, just place the buds on a "drying" type rack, on the inside of a brown paper bag, fold over the top of the bag, or leave it open?

Is there anything I can put in the bag (or the boxes) to help augment the moisture, and really absorb it? I heard putting pieces of regular paper in your storage jar can help keep your bud dry; (and an orange peel can increase moisture, on the flip side)

Should I put a few pieces of paper in with the bud on the drying racks, and fold over the top of the bag?

Naa, no need for racks, or extra paper as the bag has plenty of paper I never stack bud in the brown bags, just a nice layer across the bottom, flip daily.

You can fold over the top and leave be, then when you do your flipping each day, if you can leave it open for a while to let the air circ it will help.

Thats why I mentioned if by chance you can leave the bags open, with a ceiling fan or something going it will be less effort for you.

If this is your first time drying, I recommend trying a couple different ways...even some crazy idea you think up, and learn what works best.

I'm over in FL, so pretty similar humidity and such.
