Drying question

Harvested today and my drying room is staying pretty stable at 42% humidity, which I believe is a bit low. Temperature is at a good range and there is a fan in the room for air flow (not pointed at the buds). Will it dry okay at that rh or do I need to add a humidifier?

Im doing a dry trim and the branches are pretty long. Hoping that helps slow down the process a bit.

Any info would be appreciated!

What’s the ambient temp? Hanging the whole plant will help slow down the dry as well.

Already chopped unfortunately, so can’t hang the whole plant. Temp is ranging from 67-71 degrees

Temps not too bad, I try and get as close to 60/60 as possible, if I used a controlled room, 2-3 weeks it’s good to smoke. The longer the dry the better, I just keep a fan under the hanging branches to circulate air around the room. There is a lot of different opinions on drying, some do it in 5-7 days and get ready to jar, some do the 3-4 weeks. I cure to store my smoke but it’s good to go after a 3 week hang. I would bring your RH up a bit, 50 plus at 70f. Keep good indirect air flow.

Thanks. So I’m pretty close to the right range, just may dry a tiny bit quicker than ideal. Removedbig fan leaves but left sugar leaves for dry trim as I read it helps with flavor even though it’s more tedious and does help slow down drying process.

Yup sounds like you have a plan best of luck to you as always thank you for your time and the best wishes to you and your family
