I’ve never used an oil filled radiator but I would wager it would be okay so long as it didn’t too close to any bud. If you’re able to run it outside of the tent I would try that first.

Aw deffo not mate, the colder the better, just keep the humidity around 60 if possible, the colder temp is your friend. Trust me on this. Can go into a lot more detail if you like

That’s fine as long as you can control humidity so when said drop happens your rh doesn’t hit 90 and go un noticed

and you’re more than welcome

Expect it to take longer to dry, when I hang dry it’s at 16 and it takes around 3 weeks at around 60rh until it’s ready, but the extra time is worth it imo, I find that there’s simply no need for curing after this point, it’s as good as it’s gonna get

3 weeks on the stems hanging? Or 3 weeks in total of drying like 2 weeks on stems 1 week in and out of brown paper bag till perfect?

3 weeks hanging and it’s ready to smoke, I hang whole plants so there’s a lot more stem and leaf which also serves to drag it out longer. I find a 21 day cool dry to be perfect for giving me the best the plant has to offer. Turbulence plays a big part too, or rather the lack of it, the more air that rushes past the hanging material the more terps are lost, I try and move as little air as possible when hang drying.
