Drying temps and humidity

[Raspberrykiwi]

Hey guys. Cut my beloved Gelato 41 today and she’s hanging to dry. My tent is currently around 60-65F and humidity is around 50-60. I want to have a long dry time, prob around 14 days. Should I raise my humidity any? And is my temp maybe a bit too low?

It all depends on bud density. Please provide pics.

Here ya go. Buds are pretty fat

Don't take this the wrong way, they look great, but aren't that dense.
And really, buds like that will dry in 7 to 10 days. Increasing humidity may not be a good idea.
Besides, it's the cure that makes good smoke, not the drying time.
Good luck!

Don’t let humidity exceed 50%. Your temperatures are fine. Dry in the total darkness as much as possible.

On the contrary, drying time does make good smoke. If the chlorophyll isn’t gone by the time the bud goes into jars, it will have harsh smoke. No my buds aren’t the most dense BUT it is my 4th grow and this grow way way better than my last. If I have low temps and decent humidity I can extend my dry 14-21 days. I’m just wondering if 60 degrees is too low and if I should maybe raise my humidity to 60%

I think your parameters are perfect just make sure there's some air circulation and they should be fine.

I have my exhaust set on low!

I have my exhaust set on low!

My drying room is generally set to 68 degrees and 50% That gives me around 14ish days of good slow drying.

Cool that’s what I like to hear

60 degrees is as low as you wanna get. So you're good. I dried at 63F with 60RH and still took me 14 days with buds less dense than yours. Make sure they get enough air circulation and no light. It should take you 14 days minimum I reckon. Good luck.
