you want low light, it doesn't have to be dark, but no direct sunlight. you want a light breeze in the general area, like a fan blowing into a corner, not directly onto your rack. if the humidity is very high, like over 70%, you might want to look into a small peltier dehumidifier, if your rack is in an enclosed area like a closet. if its in a larger area, it will just take longer, and you'll have to turn them over a couple of times a day to stop mold. if you want it to dry right, you want to give it 5 to 7 days at 65 to 75F, and about 60% rh, turning it daily if its on a rack. when it starts to feel crunchy outside but still marshmallowy inside, I like to put it in a paper bag and close it up till they soften up again, then open it till they start to feel dry again, back and forth for 2 or 3 days, then into jars

yeah, i used to use pissed off Clint Eastwood from gran torino (which, coincidentally, looks a lot more like me than Lewis does)

i wouldn't go that low on rh, they dry fast enough with it around 60. temps anywhere from 65 to 75 ought to be fine. mine usually dry in 3 to 5 days at 60 rh and 72-3 degree temps...i've found if i drop the rh and dry faster its harsher and you're more likely to get that cut grass smell

I heard temperatures above 70 can burn the terps in your flowers as they are drying. I was always 65-68 degrees with atleast 60 percent humidity. 8-10 days to dry if you can make it 2 weeks even better. I dry in 68-70 about 55 RH and normally dry in 8 days. I put into jar 75% full with a hydro meter. Let sit for 24 hours sealed slowly rises to about 67, one jar went to 68. I open the jars about 2 times a day aftwr the first 24 hours to allow fresh air in and the chlorophyll out.
