Are these temps and humidity ok for drying big colas?

68f at 55% humidity is the best I can get. I don't want to dry them too fast. Ed Rosenthal claims myrcene starts to evaporate at 68f is one thing I'm worried about. Also I have some gnarly large colas I'm worried about. I had a small fan pointed at floor on low oscillating, have exhaust fan on low at all times with fresh air exhaust hose at bottom.

Plan is to try to make it a 10 day dry until the stems snap and then throw them in grove bags and keep an eye on the humidity inside bag.

I'd run with those numbers any day. Nice slow dry.

The boiling point of myrcene is 330f. You will not even come close to evaporating a significant amount of myrcene at temps below 80f.

What im referring to. Only reason I'm kind of skeptical of my room hitting 68f

"Terpenes evaporate at different temperatures, and some at slightly below room temperature. When the air is fragrant with flower odors, the buds are losing their terpenes. Improperly dried and cured buds lose terpenes due to evaporation.
For example, the terpene myrcene — found in mango fruit, hops, bay leaves, eucalyptus, lemongrass and cannabis — evaporates at just 68º F (20º C)"

This should say “STARTS to evaporate” which is not the same thing as completely evaporating.

They look just as sexy upside down. Nice harvest.

Thanks man, My best one yet. Hoping I pulled 2.5lbs or more. The sherbtang grew to be 6ft tall and the top bud is 2ft long. now that I know she is a yielder I'm going to run only sherbtang next run and scrog it

I always shoot for 60 degrees and 60% humidity. That will give you the best results.
