Don't use a dehumidifier!
Dry em slow and steady only vent out if you get above 60-65%.

I can't not use a dehumidifier it's 80% rh without it, it's maintaining a nice 55/58% at 19/20c.
The crop has already had two weeks of the dehumidifier it won't flash dry it.

55% is pretty dry they may be done sooner then you think, try to take a few tops if you can and jar with a meter , if they rise over 70 you know they gotta stay hanging

55% isn't dry enough when it's 80% without the dehuey....im telllin ya, i live in the wet northwest, you need to bring it down to at least 50%

I think you are right enough, I thought after 2wks they'd be about ready, I'll check them out tomorrow and maybe lower it a bit more.

Sounds like you need to dry it more. You can get the hay smell if you jar it too early. What humidity are you getting in your baggie? It its more that 62 you need to dry it more. The smell will return when its cured

I rolled down the sides of bags and stacked them into the bucket this morning I've just checked the bucket and it's 22.3c 55 rh%


I'll give it another 24hrs and check it again.

There's a big difference in it now, when I open the bucket I'm getting a nice aroma from it.
It's been 6hrs and it's still 55% at 22c, I expected the humidity to raise a few points once the humidity in the bags below got to work its way out but no?
