    Hey guys ive got some bubba kush i harvested and put in this box i found. its 20x22 and about 28" tall.

    I cut a hole at the bottom on 2 sides of the box, and cut 1 hole center of the top where i placed a PC fan.

    I cant decide if it would be better to have the fan
    blowing in from the top , pushing air out the bottom,
    or pull air out of the top pulling in from the bottom
    ?¿?¿

    Also, what humidity should i aim for?

    Its about 62% inside the box, i have a couple hygrometers dangling in there too.

    The only thing i dont like is the fan blowing in, right on some of the buds.

  2. Everything I've read about drying says not to put a fan on it. That being said I'm in the middle of my first harvest so all my knowledge is theoretically But from what I get out of it we want to go as slow as possible without getting mold . I have to use a box for my first plant as their closest isn't ready I'm just opening it a couple times a day .
    Seems to be staying around 50%-60%rh
     
  3. Mine keeps going to around 70% fan off down to 40-45% fan on...

    I now have the fan timed, off for 3 hours on for 30 mins - repeat.
     
  4. I would say better to pull air out of the box. You will want the fan on because it is in a small space and the humidity could spike without it.

  6. So seems to spike into the 70s when off and drop to the high 40s when on

    Changed timer to run 1 hour on 30 mins off
