hey yall, this is my first year doing outdoor and I've come to a realization that I did not anticipate when I was caught up in the excitement of starting all this. where am I going to dry? I have a greenhouse, but I'm in a fairly humid area and I'm guessing that it would be too moist to dry them out there. where do most people with outdoor crops dry? garages? sealed barns? I'm considering buying a tent for inside just to have a sterile, sealed area for them. I don't have any closet, garage, basement, or really any clean and closed area that I could put them in currently. any ideas are much appreciated!

A tent or pod would work but you really need to be able to control temps and humidity. I dry in a 5x5 tent inside a room with the ac running full blast trying to cool the room to 60°. I try to maintain 60° and 60% but it isn't that easy with a window unit.
I dry in a dedicated room in my barn.
Fresh air in at floor level exhaust fan in the ceiling. Basic box fan on low at the floor to keep air moving. First 3-4 days after harvest I place a fluorescent shop light on the floor facing up at the buds to bring the cream to the top.
I hang full plant and only trim to order.
My best product occurs in march/April when the humidity and temps start to increase after a winter of cold storage.
