Crops been drying 9 days now. It was hung as a whole plant for 6 days, then cut into branches for 2, then the buds were cut off and placed on screens yesterday. The problem is its rained about everyday since harvest and the humidity is well above 80% everyday. To combat this an air conditioner has been used to keep temps roughly 70F but humidity all day the lowest is 72%. They are enclosed in the grow closet with carbon scrubber and inline fan running and a small 6 inch clip on circulating air but no direct air flow on the buds.
A dehumidifier is not an option mine is a state away and one will not be bought just for this. Can damprid be used to lower humidity my thought was to place a couple trays of damprid in the closet and turn off the fans to see if that works. my concern is will the damprid flavor the herb in any way, the stuff has a slight smell and is suppost to absorb moisture but will it have an adverse affect on the smoke.
What other options do i have to lower humidity without a dehumidifier? Will these buds ever dry if the humidity stays at 70%?
Also note these are not the biggest buds, theres a bunch of em but were not talking huge colas here top colas are maybe 4 grams if they ever dried and popcorn buds.
