Drying in my tent. Need advice. DR60

[SouFou]

Hello,
The tent is a DR60, the size is 60x60x170

So the plan initially was to buy cardboard boxes and some computer fans and dry each plant individually as they were ready. It seems they're only about 2 weeks out of each other and now I'm considering drying in my tent. I have only ever dried one plant in a tent so 4 is a bit intimidating. I have an RVK with a fan controller and I'm going to bump that down to minimum and 2 passive intakes at the bottom which will hopefully bring fresh air through the buds. On paper this seems fine and I see no problems but I thought best to ask more experienced users how to go about this. I have included crudely drawn diagram (lol) to try and explain a bit more.

Would there be a problem with the 2 plants being hung lower than the other 2? The above two will be closest to extraction and the bottom 2 closest to passive intake. Don't think there's really much I can do about this. It would be great to hear anybody's thoughts about this or if anyone has ever been in a similar situation

As long as you got good airflow and humidity doesn't get to high in there. anything over 65% and not too low anything below 55 or 52% and you've trimmed off most of the leaves and you can hang it by the branch or you can hang them by the bud or you can hang the whole damn thing if you care to everybody's got different preferences... I've done them all it really doesn't matter to me. I use a screen and dry them that way myself anymore it's easier for me. But really it's not that difficult when your humidity reaches the 60% mark and it stays constant pretty good and you can snap a branch of a twig about the size the inside of a pen barrel that's usually where I call it good and start jarring at that point and burping and the curing process begins. You can use a paper bag if you care to I've tried in cardboard boxes paper bags not a lot of different. they all come out pretty good. My favorite way of drying these days is sundry believe it or not. Good luck man looks good

Thanks for your response, really helpful
Do you think I will need a clip on fan pointed away from the buds to create movement? Or will the air being sucked in through the passives via negative pressure, will that be enough air movement for them do you reckon?

It wouldn't hurt to have another fan in there not at all. It all just depends on you know your moisture content. When you put them in there and you put your moisture meter in there you know if you got really high moisture content its way up there in the seventies eighties or nineties yeah it probably good idea

Thanks for the response, I think I may include a fan in there. I was drying one plant and I saw the humidity reach the 70's, so 4 should be fun..
I just don't want to fast dry them which is why I'm reluctant.

Yes you don't want to be too fast.

I just cut the buds put them one later deep and hang the bag in the tent and make sure the fan hits it. Dries perfect. There is a better thread on this form Tang somewhere but I cannot find it.
