Time to make a few things clear.
How to understand the appearance of mold and how is it related to:
1) temperature
2) and RH
If the goal is to dry slowly, then how can I make sure to stay at optimal temp and RH?
Most popular answer would probably be to stay at 65-75F (18-24C) and 45-65%.
Considering that, I came up with few different examples which should help to find the way:
Most average: 70F (21C) and 55% - probably a 7 day dry?
Faster extreme: 75F (24C) and 45% - probably a 3 day dry?
Slower extreme: 70F (18C) and 60% - probably a 2 week dry?
But what if we get out of the popular limit of 65-75F (18-24C) and 45-65%?
Is there a reason why it's not recommended to go over 75F (24C) except the reason that it dries too fast?
What if RH is high enough - in my opinion then it doesn't dry too fast.
That leads to the biggest question - how exactly is temperature and RH related to eachother? Is it all about the point of saturation?
For example: what if RH is very high, like 70%, but temperature is 90F (32C) ? Is it possible to dry buds in these conditions?
Can you show me some kind of chart to understand it?
