    Default Drying in Bathroom - Humidity Question

    Space in limited, so it was decided to hang the buds on racks in the empty, unused bathroom, in the shower. There is solid space between the buds and there is an oscillating fan going on low all day. The shower door is kept open about a fist wide so that air can enter, but not really directly on the buds to allow for a slow dry.

    Immediately after hanging everything, the uptick in humidity was very noticeable! Unfortunately because there are animals around, we have to keep the door closed all day. Its opened once or twice a day, but really 5 minutes after closing the humidity is back to where it was. It is naturally humid where its located, but it definitely falls on sunny days.

    Would you guys have any worry about this natural uptick in humidity as long as the fan is on all day to help circulate the air?

    Do you have a way to check the Rh? If you can notice the humidity its probably too high.

    Ideally you'd want to be extracting the air (with a filter) and drawing fresh air in.

    Unfortunately no way to check the Rh, but I'm assuming its pretty high naturally and falling on sunny days and maybe rising a bit on rainy days... according to the internet its just north of 60%. Seems best option is to try to leave the door open as much as possible... which should naturally change the air being circulated. Seems to just hope for the best at this point! So far so good, smells pretty grassy at this point, but no off odor by any means. Thanks for the advice, always helpful.

    Does mold become easier to spot as the plant dries?

    As long as you have air circling the RH can be as high as 70% with no problem of getting mold. good luck and happy growing.
