Drying in high humidity

I have a couple plants hanging since almost exactly 3 weeks ago…
Hanging inside a tent, exhaust running full time, 2 smaller fans inside for air movement.
Humidity at flower hanging level stays around 80%RH.
Right on the lower air intakes it’s about 70%RH.

Temps range from 65 to 75°F

I have already smoked a few flowers from there, but feels not dry enough.

I have no dehumidifier yet, working on getting one soon…

So the question is:

Jar it all with some Boveda packs? (58 or 62 RH)?
Leave it hanging until eventually the weather gets dryer for a couple of days and jar it at minimum RH?

Appreciate any tips or ideas,
:muscle::muscle::muscle::muscle:
Thanks in advance

3 weeks WHAT!?!?!?!?!? I say jar it or grove bag it an burp when needed til it’s where it needs to be

Do you have (or can you get) a wood moisture meter? Something like this:

If so, shoot for 11-12% moisture, and you will jar/bag them at around 62% rH,

So far, my plan is getting some 58% boveda packs and jar them this weekend…
Tomorrow it’s 3 weeks exactly since they got chopped and hanged…
Humidity is just naturally crazy high around my house

I do not have access to that, but always wondered if there was a tool to measure that, thanks for the info :muscle:

Get a decent dehumidifier you’re running a huge risk of getting mold if you bag it that wet

Good morning @Newt on the moisture meter, do you set it for soft wood when you take the readings? Thank you in advance :blush::v:

I use mine on the default setting. (And that is soft wood)

But I don’t think it really matters much for this application. I just make sure I use the same setting and the same target result every time.

One more question while your around plz sir :metal:
Seems I keep reading more and more people have moved from probing the bud to probing the stem.
What’s your thoughts?

I don’t smoke the stems. So I don’t measure them. Find what works for you, and do that. :smile_cat:
