What is the best method to maintain humidity in a tent.
Ad a really small humidifier is my best guess. My tent has been about 50% humidity for 2ish days due to an unexpected heat wave.
Before that the first 2 or 3 days were high 60s. And pretty stable.
Just trying to slow down the dry a bit more. Harvested on this past Monday.

Any tips are welcome!

You can humidify, but if instead you can limit the airflow to almost zero the plants should maintain a good humidity. Once they are dry they go to the next stage (usually). Curing, processing etc.

Commercial facilities will use climate controlled rooms to dry and cure (if they cure). So it is OK to do so but be careful adding moisture. Keep the water and humidifier clean.

Get an inkbird humidity control. Then use a warm mist humidifier. Cut or drill holes in the humidifier then set it in a large container filled to the same level as the humidifier will hold. Then you won't have to refill it as often.
Good luck friend

Ok thanks!
Currently the plant is still pretty good. The top of one of the buds is pretty dry. But the res of the plan seems good. I'd like to shoot for 10 days drying minimum. But if I cant I can start trimming for the jar and hit 62% in the jar.

Thank you. Thats a great idea!
I may not need that much water. But I really just need a 10% humidity boost.

When you can pull off a smaller bud, drop it in a bowl and smoke it easily without having to light it constantly...its ready to come down. Dont get too caught up in the number of days.

Fill a few jars or a bucket with water, and drape towels or wash cloths into the water, and over the rim to hang out. This will raise your humidity in a drying environment to a nice range if you are hovering around 50% now

i never realised how lucky i am with humidity, never had a problem, just hang the light up and it keeps them warm. dont keep the plants growth too tight, ie give them 18/6 and not 24/0 and the leaves have some space in there,
plus opening the side and putting a fan in the open doorway
