Got my harvest hanging in tent from twine and aircon on 25 c which is actually showing at 19 c in lower half of tent. Have ceiling fan and clip fan circulating air throughout room and tent. My rh is on 51% as now after 3 hrs hanging. If it stays like this in this environment, is it around target conditions?

I am also curious about temp for drying because I was thinking of drying in a dark container in my flowering cabinet, but I'm concerned it may be a bad idea drying at 80°F.

I like 51-52% RH

Temp? I don't monitor it, as long as its not a meat locker or a Sauna I don't think it matters. My room is a lil warmer in summer and cooler in winter and not much difference IMO ..

How many days? I just tried a 12 day dry at 50% RH and at 70 degrees. This has been the longest I have let them dry and I have to say the smell is alot stronger than letting them dry at lower RH levels and 5-7 days.

Wouldnt dry my pot in a box under lights bro, i have the method of drying on screens down pat, and it works well in a much smaller area than the tent i am now forced to dry in. Its pissing down rain for the next 5 days and ive had hanging for 2 and is 100% humidity inside and out.
I have an aircon blowing cold air at 22 c around room and two fans circulating air around room and tent also have a small dehumidifier in other corner of room with air veing extracted from tent straight into dehumidifier. This is working well with humidity floating up and down between 51% and 66% while temp is 20.4.

On my outdoors its like 12-20 days..indoor 5-8 ish .. I'm lazy as fuck when it comes to trimming..I hate it ...I'd rather go dig holes in frozen ground for next years crop than trim..


I like to trim dry never wet and that slow dry on the vine is best imo . the denser the bud the longer you can dry..the airy strains gotta get jarred quickly.

Thanks for the reply. My flower room (cabinet) has a space that is above the lights where my exhaust fan is housed. It is separated from light and remains dark, but is subjected to the ambient heat of the room (80-82°F with lights on, 70°F lights off). That's where I was thinking I'd dry. I don't want to make a separate space to dry, but will make something if I have to. Don't want my whole place smelling like dank, so if 80 degrees isn't too hot, having it in the cabinet would keep the odor under control. If that's too hot, I'll make a storage bin drying cabinet with a carbon filter and exhaust fan.
