Hehehe, i guess nobody has the sweetspot humidity or temp in his house for cannabis growing. You must be lucky to have a natural sweet spot . All the rest, we improvise . Hm... Don't quote me on that either but how about having a few glasses of water to where the fan hits, in order to raise the room humidity a bit. Play with the positioning of the glasses , either pointing directly to the fan ,or near it, or near your buds. I don't know. something to get the humidity just a bit higher. By the way, i was only suggesting pointing the fan directly at the buds, as a last resort. For the specific case that i'm on the 7th-10th day of drying with the existing humidity ( harvest time was this Monday) , and the buds still look more moist that normally should after so many days. I'd rather fast-dry the remaining water in the buds after plenty days of natural drying, rather than procrastinating and risking having moldy buds. But that's a theory of mine in case things go bad, and wanna seek opinions about that.
    Usually I try to keep the rh on the lower side, I grow hydroponic so the colas can be susceptible to mould. One time I went in to check my drying buds about 3 or 4 days after trimming and alot of my largest main colas had mould inside... I salvaged what i could but it had ruined about 40-50% of the crop i was mortified!

    oooh, that was nasty. half your yield is too much. I don't know how it works with hydroponics and what part plays in the drying process but i hope it was an one time thing

    Drying humidity is not as important ( within sensible limits obvs) as growing humidity when it comes to rot.

    Usually, you already have rot in the colas when you put them into dry, if you find your harvest rotten.
