What is the best room for dying?

I want to dry buds in cardboard boxes. I have winter cold balcony, where it's -5-+5C, and 60%RH, living room is +21-24C and 30-40%RH, and bedroom with AC and humidifier, +24-27C and 50-65% RH. Neither is perfect, but I rather pick balcony. Should I be afraid of mildue there?

Yes, balcony will not work, far too cold. This would lead to many problems, with the flowers more or less turning into compost rather than drying. And unless you want all your clothes to smell like cannabis, the living room is your best option. Remember, you will need good air circulation for proper drying to occur and putting your flowers in a cardboard box may not be ideal. I don't know how much you have to dry, but I find hanging the branches on wire clothes hangers works well, allowing for excellent air circulation. It is also relatively simple to construct some poles or ropes across the room to hang your wire coat hangers on. Another good option is an indoor clothes drying rack, either to hang the coat hangers on or the branches themselves. Also, try to dry your flowers in dark conditions or away from direct light, as direct light on your flowers when drying or even after they have dried, will cause massive breakdown of the THC. Hope this helps,... Organoman.

The living room in cardboard boxes seems like a better option if it's possible, lower temps are good to a point, too cold and it may harm your buds by freezing the trichomes and causing them to fall off (pretty much like the way dry ice hash is produced) and then losing potency! Keep it in dark cool place 18-24C with indirect ventilation, humidity should be at about 50-60% (try keeping it at around 40% if you can't increase it more) for about 10-14 days depending on drying and trimming methods. Good luck and happy harvesting!
