Freeze dried flower?

I have a dedicated space for drying and curing and I have full control over both temp and humidity. Would it be acceptable to let them rehydrate in an open air environment at say...62 degrees F and 58% Humidity? Or would they really need to be in a closed container to prevent excess oxidation?
You may want to ask @curious2garden..
I had a question myself.
Is that koolatron you use rigged up to keep the humidity at 60% humidity?
may you please give us details on your setup, id like to just copycat it.

I leave mine in an open cardboard box in my basement from 4-16hrs sometimes before jarring (depending on when I get them out of the dryer) They seem fine when I go to jar or throw excess amounts into mylar bags.

Yes my Koolatrons hold at 60 degrees and 60%. After they come out of my freeze dryer I let them sit in trays with a light lid loosely on, like @EhCndGrower stated for 24 hours, pack into a vacuum seal bag and into the Koolatron for a minimum of 24 hours then when I get time I vacuum and seal the bags and they are shelf stable. However I do keep them in my Koolatron while I have space.

I love this thing! For me, living in the Mojave it has saved me so much money as opposed to trying to support a large enough area for plants at 60/60 for 2 weeks!

I'd make it the Freeze Dryer JJ. Try a relatively inexpensive Harvest Right medium and test it.
Just DON’T get the “Medical” version. You want the food grade version, as the medical version shelves are tighter spaced. In case you go ahead with a purchase, which I think are $500 or something. Also I would highly suggest forking out the money for the oiless motor, and don’t need to worry about changing the oil.
