My temperature is fine, between 17 and 19 degrees but my humidity levels keep bouncing from around 42 ( lowest ) to around 59 ( highest ). I'd prefer to try keep it at the later , I have a very very small humidifier and have placed a wet towel on the floor to try and raise it a little ? I have a small fresh air intake and a fan at minimum setting to circulate the air. Is there anything I could be doing differently to try get humidity up a little ? Cheers.
Humidity range ok?

Yeah, you definitely need a bigger humidifier. This is the one i have been using with an inkbird humididty controller in my 2x2 tent to dry. I also set my fan and filter on the floor and run the duct up out the top. That way as the humidifier puts the mist up in the tent, the fan pulls it back down before sucking it out of the tent.

I pretty much need to go with what I have at the moment and try make the best if it , will be investing in some more gear for my second go at it . I do have my extraction fan running full pelt , I've not actually tried turning that down , I'll give that a go see if I can get it up a little with a little less extraction. Can't believe that's just dawned on me !
Thanks , I'll give that a go

You're welcome.
Mind this liamm: It's just pulling out water of your plants.
Yes you can do too quick, then you'll miss the point where the water that's retained in the stems can spread evenly throughout your bud again.
But in general it's not ''bad'' drying your plants a little dryer or quicker, it's nothing to worry about in the back of your head.
Just check them regularly and cure them well afterwards.
Very much appreciated. Yeah I've read into how it protects the flavours and smell but like I've said before it's alot to take in lol. The room is not reeking and I've read that's a good sign to how it's drying , trying to just get everything as close to perfect as I can ...from what I've read but the proof is in the pudding , I'll try a few different techniques next time
For what it's worth, I like LA Confidential and I grow alot of it. The strain was bred and grown in the desert, so it likes humidity on the lower side of the spectrum, not high. Seems to do best at 45%, which for me is easy to maintain during the day. At night I increase RH to dial-in optimum VPD levels.
