For many years now I have thought about designing something like this so that I can slow dry my harvest, which always dries too fast (3 to 5 days) because of my environment.
I would like to dry my buds in a climate controlled box that is automated to maintain specific humidity and temperature. I know such drying boxes must already exist, and I would like to see some ideas. I would love to be able to make the drying process take 7 to 10 days like everyone recommends.
What I'm thinking is I would like to build a sealed box that has constant but very minimal air circulation, like a computer fan blowing against the ceiling of the box or something like that. Then, there would be another small fan hooked to a humidistat that would turn on when the humidity got too high, while shutting off as soon as it goes back to the desired setting. This exhaust fan could even blow through a carbon filter, if necessary, although, I plan on just keeping my drying box in the grow room where the air is being scrubbed already.
Has anyone done anything like this? Show me please! Maybe if I work this out, I could also design an automated curing chamber too! Finally stop using all those glass jars...
