What do you guys think?

The fan blows at only 30cfm or so - not enough to overdry too much. There are holes drilled in the bottom for air uptake...


What do we have here? A storage box?


What? With a power cord?



Those arent for filing!



Total cost, $50.

Nice! May even want to consider removing those trays and hanging a line in there to hang the buds from, better air circulation.

nothing wrong with the trays though

Well, we'll see how it works in about a week. I have a sample nug in there now just to see.....

If it werent for the holes in the bottom, I could dump dessicant in there to help dry as well.... Instead I might just put a tupperware with some in it on one of the racks...

Oh no, I'm not saying I see a problem, just offering a suggestion With those holes I'm sure you'll get great airflow. just offering a different method, some people swear by hang drying.

I will probably still hang for the first 1-3 days until they crisp enough that I know Im not laying a wet side down.

They are actually just stackable file holders for desk usage.
