It is draped in plastic with many little vents it’s a flat piece I draped over and clip together. I open it up and let it air out every day for a bit then bundle it back up. I sort of made a drying tent in the closet. The other one is in a tent. I like to get 8 days on my dry so the nice slow drying allows the chlorophyl time to convert to sugar and improves the flavour and reduces coughing. I make edibles to do that help heaps with flavour.
No harm in asking questions lol
Sorry I didn’t respond sooner, lol I have a valid excuse I was making this for the first time

Ok just so it’s said you must take GREAT CARE when doing this!!
Do it outside away from the house!
first I take my trimmings that it I used no buds!
I smoke buds
I turn my small larfy buds into butter for edibles. So this was just an experiment to see what I would get from the scrap.
I use an electric hot plate a big not too tall pot that is larger than the burner I will be using. Boiling water with a stainless steel bowl on top to cook it down
I used two gallons isopropyl alcohol 99+%
A 2 gallon glass juice dispenser and stainless pot scrubby goes inside per the tap hole to prevent clogging and through a stainless screen coffee filter and a second glass jar to pre filter
I did the actual pouring outside at the patio table so you are not breathing in fumes which are also noxious and flammable so be aware !!!
I take my trim and freeze it then fill the jar. Slowly pour over frozen weed. Let flow out tsp into coffee filter into second jar.
Then filter again with paper filters
Then slowly gradually add a little at a time evaporate the alcohol away on the double boiler make sure the water does Not Go Dry when Alcohol is all gone you get honey oil
Oops the green goo goes before the golden goo lol

Guttation and Transpiration
The truth is it all comes down to the process of guttation, wherein sap exudates from the cannabis leaf axils. This is not to be confused with morning dew however, which is H2O condensed from the atmosphere onto the plants’ surface. It is also not sap-like or varying in colour like the substance created through guttation.

All plants require water however it is not commonly known that only a small amount of water that is taken up by the roots of a plant is used for growth and metabolism. In fact, about 97 – 99.5% of water intake is lost through the processes of transpiration and guttation.
Transpiration is the process of water movement through the plant and its subsequent evaporation through the leaves, stems and flowers. This takes place during the day and usually does not take place at night. The reason for this is because at night, the stomata of the plant (which are pores in the epidermis of plant leaves, stems and other parts that facilitates gas and water evaporation) close.

With these chambers closed at night, the process of guttation takes over. If the soil the cannabis plant resides in is high in moisture content over night, this water will enter through the plant roots which then cause pressure in the roots. This pressure then forces some of the water to exude through the leaf axil, leaf tips, edge structures and hydathodes (modified pores) in the form of sticky drops. So, rather than water evaporation, a sap will form.

This sap can vary in colour from clear, to tan to a dark red. It contains organic and inorganic compounds such as sugars, potassium and mineral nutrients. It is completely harmless and has a sweet aroma and taste to it.
If sap is accumulating on outdoor cannabis plants, be mindful that this sweet sap is a tasty treat to unwanted visitors such as insects and pests.
