Finished the 14 day dry today, set to 60 today and box is at 60.3 RH, I'm at 58 deg the entire time, I'm thinking about possibly acclimatizing....
Tell me if I'm pushing Risk:
thinking of keeping the inkbird at 60 rh, and clicking up the temp daily 1.0 to reach around 68 or 70

I don’t think you’d be pushing risk of mold or anything, although some terps start to evaporate at 70f so I wouldn’t go much higher than that.

I think I'm gonna do it to stabilize, thanks HD
I swear, my best cure I ever got was in an apartment sliding door closet that was in socal by the beach, it was May-June, around 15 days and fluctuating 68-76 deg, might of been the coastal humidity that saved the hangers, but it dried beautifully and cured with a lot of flavor, but I will run it to 68 here. And then grove bag these suckers outside the box

I have a feeling Acclimatizing is a good way to prevent directly inserting into a Grove Bag. I've done the process up to the 14th day 60 % humidity before and the buds eventually come out smelling well after around a few weeks to a month or so, but I feel bumping the temp up in the box and keeping humidity stable at 60 is a good way to dry the internal Humidity of the bud thoroughly before bagging up. bumped up 1 deg to 59 % today, and humidity went from RH% 60 in the box to RH% 62.6 when I checked this morning. So that change def brought out the internal I'm guessing.
We shall see, I'll monitor the bumps/RH% to see if there's a Temp SweetSpot that will keep at 60% RH stable and take out then.

You can dry in a compressor based fridge, it’s called the “lotus cure method”, but works differently than using the thermoelectric cooler. Here’s one link, or google lotus cure:
Hey Bud, I am late to the party. What unit did you retrofit with Cannatrol shelves...exactly? My shelves measurements are 13 7/16 x 11 3/8. My unit is Koolatron 48L, 28 Bottle, WC20. Thank you Brother. I am on page 33 of 81, so just reading through the thread.
