I bet if you close the door the "wet" buds will bring up the rh to a comfortable level. I like to keep it at around 60rh
I have a humidifier, a personal sized one and a decent one with a big tank. I have clothes in the closet so I was hoping to avoid putting them in there, but the sponge and pan option is doable. Thank you.
If you're going to harvest then don't worry about. I've grown and harvested in 20% humidity for years.
How long do you leave them to dry?
Due to my low humidity I use cardboard boxes with string/dental floss strung inside to keep them separated. I put a dial hygrometer in the box to check that it's around 40-60% RH with the lid of the box slightly closed. I do this until the RH drops to under 40% and buds get a crispy feel then put them in a paper sack for 12-24 hours then jar and monitor with a hygrometer until I hit about 63% RH +/- 1%. It takes 4-6 days to get to crispy.
you said you were on a budget, if you can afford it, one of these would work great
I didn't know this was a thing, thank you. It's within my budget.
I was a bit more concerned about getting the clothes in the closet saturated with the odor, but it's inevitable. This is interesting too, thanks for showing me this.Top USB Mini Water Bottle Caps Humidifier on ebay'

With the bud in the closest it's around 35% so I'm happy enough leaving it there. Excited to be able to leave it alone now. Thanks for the help.
