Dehumidifier in drying tent

So I have a 1.5x3m tent that I have just finished and am planning on chopping Tomorrow, I was hoping On leaving my dehumidifier running while I harvested, without it the rh goes upto 75-85% as where I put the dehumidifier in now it drops to a perfect 50-60%rh inside the tent, I leave a aircon on outside the tent also to keep the room at about 19-21 degrees Celsius.. if anyone can weigh in what I should do please let me know! I just don’t want to dry them to quick but I was trying to achieve the perfect 60/60 drying method.. let me know whether or not use the dehumidifier inside of the tent the last thing I want to do is dry them out to quickly and lose all that beautiful smell but I don’t want to see them rot either. Anyone else had this experience?

I run a dehumidifier while flowering but have never felt it necessary to run it during drying even though I dry in a bathroom where humidity is usually high....The higher rh, as long as air is moving past the buds, will aid in a desired slow dry....so I would not run a dehumidifier during dry as long as you have air movement.

I use a dehum set at 45% for about 5 days. Been doing it that way 16 years and it’s perfect :)
