Hey guys I have a problem. My house HR is about 30% at Tue most right now. I need to dry my buds and thinking my house HR is too low and will dry my buds out too fast. I have them in my tent in a paper bag but my temps run in bewtween 77-84 which is too hot for drying but the HR is right where I need it to be. Anyone got any suggestions?
 
If you are drying in paper sacks it shouldn't matter if the RH is low IDS. The RH in the sack is going to be pretty high. What you are worried about is the RH surrounding the bud, if it is too low it will dry very fast on the outside of the bud will the inside will stay very moist and won't give them a chance to gas off the stored chlorophyll. But inside your paper bag, the RH is probably near 80% so you should be good inside the house. If you are still worried about it, throw a couple of 65% Boveda packs in the bag. You can get them online or at any cigar shop.

I have the same situation. I have to dry in my grow room and it is low humidity. What I did on my last run was to dry them hanging for a 2 days. Then I put them into cardboard boxes closed laying in balls of paper for several days until the stems snapped fairly easily but not dry. Then I put them into the jars with the Boveda 62% packs. As they were still a bit damp, I would burp them and lay them out for a few hours. I did that for about a week. After than.. in the closet. And it came out wonderful! Nice hard smelly buds. Yummy.
