Humidity whilst drying

Foxtrotoscar
Foxtrotoscarstarted grow question 5y ago
Hoping someone could help. I’ve got my buds up drying but my RH is 70% and will not come down. I have it in a growing tent so I has air intake and carbon filter with a osculating fan AND a dehumidifier. Although it’s at 70% RH will it be ok?

That does seem very high. Is the room it's in very humid? Can you open windows and doors to help? Put a fan or aircon in that room? I'm sure it will be OK will take a long time to dry though, maybe trim each stem off and hang it instead of the whole plant.

it's not ideal. Keep close eye on it. Can you grow in a larger area? leave lights off in a room or something? that way your buds don't impact the local environment so much. if you can fit the duhum in tent, close it up and it'll work better. slow down intake/exhaust a bit for it to keep up. you don't need as much air with dead plants, but a little in and out is needed.

For a next time, or if you can find it for now, there's a product that retain moisture, Calcium Chloride. You may find on dehumidifier in market, without chemical smell, find the neutral. Or buy the powder and make your own dehumidifier. Care not to dry too much with that!

70% is too high for drying. between 50-60 is ideal.

Hi! If you cant find any ways to lower the humidity then you might have to put some heat to the room so no mold or bud rot will come!! What is your temperature in there? Just keep the airflow as good as possible and I think that you might want to consider so other place to dry them? Im not 100% certain how bad 70%RH is but I think that as long as you have everything else set good you dont need to worry
