Dry tent humidity compared to lung room

If you can not get it that cold leave the plant whole. That way it slows it down some.

I was planning on chopping it whole regardless, unless I end up seeing a clear reason for leaving the lower half to keep maturing.

I had that same tent but had to scrap it after the zipper failed within a month. Got a refund fortunately.

This is a cheaply made tent, for sure. It has worked well enough for me so far, though. I think I've been using it for two or three years.

Do you have an exhaust hooked up to that tent? I don’t see one.

Yes. It's a 120mm computer fan with a speed controller that doesn't show in the picture. For a while I used the humidity controller with it, but eventually decided it didn't need a controller. It runs continuously.

I ended up getting a 6’ tall tent for drying. Overkill but I figure it may get used for another flowering tent someday. Maybe sooner rather than later ;)

That's a much better height. This 3-foot-tall tent is too short. I'll probably upgrade eventually. I had to clip up the bottom rack because there wasn't enough room for it. I'd like to add a hanging scale to record the weight as the buds dry, but there also isn't enough room for that. So, a taller drying tent is probably in my future.

I think it will be most important to slow the drying. I wouldn’t wait for the other to mature. Just pick a good happy medium of ripe, over ripe and under ripe. If it is done sooner than two weeks it went to fast. If it takes longer than two weeks it’s fine. Just next time leave less of the plant so it drys slightly faster.

I dry in my tent. First day I’m at 60 degrees and the tent may hit 68% humidity on day one.

I just set my floor fans to minimum, but my exhaust is set to max.

I will continue to run this until I hit 62%, which is usually 24 hours later.

I will decrease my exhaust down to 1-3.

At that point it will slowly decrease to 60-60. At that point if it gets below 58% my humidifier will kick on. It will kick back off once humidity reaches 62%.

I will keep this process going try to stay as close to 60/60 as I can for 10-14 days!

Do you have any particular reason for moving the air via the exhaust as opposed to the intake?

Does you humidify live inside your tent during drying or in the lung room?

I’ve got my temperatures worked out. I think I can stay pretty close to 60. Humidity wants to be 50% most of the time. A humidifier somewhere in the chain will be in order..
