Hi,
I'm looking for a way to dry weed smell free (or close enough) indoors and I've read that some people use silica gel, but others discourage it. Reading about the reasons for advicing against it, I was thinking about modifying what I've read to something like this:
Big glass jar, say 4 liters.
Add food grade silica gel, perhaps around 1 liter at the bottom covered in meash to keep it from sticking to the buds.
Add buds to be dryed but a maximum of around 1 liter of volume, leaving plenty of space for air.
Insert a small moisture meter and a small battery powered fan to keep the air circulating.
Close it up, burp it occassionally, and if need be, replace silicca gel until prefered moisture level is reached.
I reckon I could have that in the basement without any smell other than when burping the jars.I realize that drying it slow is preferable but if one has no alternative would this method be doable, i.e. not creating mold and hopefully not producing hay? Any input on this would be appreciated.
