How important is steady flow of fresh air in drying room?

I have an issue here. My place is so frickin dry. In the 30s humidity wise. I like drying my buds between 50-60 humidity.

Say I have a bathroom setup for drying. If I use a humidifier to get my humidity up to 55. When I leave the bathroom fan on for air exchange it sucks all the humidity out and humidity drops back to low 40's.

How important is having a steady flow of air? What if I was just to suck air out of the room 2x a day for 15 mins to exchange air, and during the rest of the day just have the air circulating inside the room.

i dry in my basement .. with humidity levels like you have .. i do exactly what you were thinking at the end .. just circulate the air inside with the humidfier set at 55% , and exhast the room air every once in a while .. i dont use an exhaust fan .. i've found ovre the years just me opening up the door a few times a day while checking them was enough air exchange .. but you will know that by how fast the buds dry

helps to prevent mould/fungi attacking your hard grown Nuggs , for me , fresh air is crucial.

How do you control and measure the humidity temp in the dry room?

A large fan over a bucket of cold water is the cheapest and simplist way for me ,you can use misters etc but keeping down cost is good for me

I hear you. I agree that preventing mold is critical. Most people have high humidity in their climates so it is a huge issue.

However in my case it's such a dry climate that I need to add humidity into the drying room. It's a little backwards but I like to dry slowly.

Drying slowly is vital to a quality smoke. Clonex has the right idea, pretty much just keep some water in the room thats open to the air. The temp in the room will evaporate the water, and a fan will keep it circulating.
