Is 35-40 percent humidity too low for drying? If so should I bring it up and what's an easy way to do that?

It's a little low for a slow dry. I like to dry inside a tent with a humidistat controlling the fan. One quick and easy way to raise humidity inside a tent is to fill a bucket with some water and hang some hand towels in there so the bottoms touch the water. You can also slow down the drying speed by leaving on the fan leaves while they dry, and then "dry trim" them. Lots of really good threads out there on drying, but the general idea is to dry them nice and slow. Good luck!

Hey! Here's what I stick by when drying & Curing, hope it helps: During the drying process the water content of the buds needs to be reduced from around 75% mark to 10-15% (approx). Usually this will take around 10 to 14 days. It's best to get rid of the biggest amount of moisture in the first 3 days. After these 3 days the drying process should be slowed down a bit you can then raise the humidity/temp slightly so this slows dow (I'll go into more detail below). When drying fresh cannabis buds the proper way the following circumstances are required: Temperature: In the first 3 days the best temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius. This way the buds will dry quick, but not too fast. After 3 days the temperature should be lowered to about 17-18 degrees Celsius to slow down the process. Humidity: In the first 3 days the relative humidity should be around 50%. After three days the relative humidity should rise to about 60%, again with the reason to slow down the drying process. Air circulation: It's very important there's enough air circulation in the room, so it's advisable to use an electric driven fan. A ventilation fan can also come in handy to control the temperature and humidity. Don't point the fan directly on the buds though, this will dry the cannabis buds unevenly. Darkness: The room should be relatively dark as light, especially direct sunlight, degrades THC.

That's low, but not too low if you hang the bud without trimming your sugar leaves. The leaves will provide extra moisture and lengthen the drying time. If it's too late for this, you can rig up a little swamp cooler. Fill a bucket with water and hang a rag half in, half out. Then aim a fan directly at the rag and make sure that no bud is catching the breeze. This will bring your humidity up a few points. As long as you can get your drying time to 7 days, you're good!

Personally I aim for 40% after adding vegetation to a small area like a drying area that creates alot of humidity without proper air flow this will cause mold to form though if you add good air flow not directly pointing at the fresh bud you can counteract this but as weezy says it can speed up drying which is not always a good thing depending on what your growing for. I try to take my bud out when the humidity in the drying area has reached around 60 or 50 and it is a rather large window of maybe 4-6 days so its not that much of a huge thing. though good air flow is the key just dont forget to hook up your carbon filter else youll be stinking out the whole street :P Best of luck 👊

Hi ! Een luchtvochtigheid van 50% zorgt voor een gelijkmatiger droogproces. Bij 35-40% kan het te snel dor worden. Zorg voor een goede luchtomloop in je droogruimte en voor een aangename temperatuur, 18 à 20 graden is ideaal. Deze moet ook donker zijn, in verband met afbraak THC door licht. De toppen zelf laat je ongeveer een week drogen, dit kan ook langer zijn. Ze zijn klaar om te curen in potten wanneer je een takje kan breken ipv buigen. Succes en een goede oogst!🤙🌱
