Hey I've been reading all of these great posts on bud dryers...however i have a question about the heat...is it really necessary? I mean theoretically if you have no humidity(not a lot) could you keep it in a cooler environment and still have good clean dry bud? and exactly what is too much humidity? i plan on drying in a box setup that will maintain about 65F with around 30% humidity very similar to your setup, though im using 2 small 400cfm intake fans and one 8000cfm exhaust, im hoping for the best without the heat element....I cant imagine it would be any slower if the temps were down, i would have thought the added heat would cause evaporations of the water in the bud and raise humidity....so cooler air would possibly dry it faster....

just my 2cents, but if you have any input i'd appreciate reading it, since it's obvious you know what you're doing and i just like experimenting. good job on the design though it looks super hightech, and efficient.
