Fast drying by pointing a fan at your buds will "snap dry" them, locking away terpenes and cause a crappy hay smell. Once locked away, they are locked away forever. You certainly don't want any type of humidifier in the drying area, this can lead to mold. Temps are ok, but humidity around 40% is much more bud friendly. You just want a gentle breeze in the growing area to remove humid air, not some sort of cyclonic vortex causing accelerated drying. Drying usually takes 4-10 days, depending on branch size and bud density. A longer and slower drying process is far better than a quick "snap dry" which just closes all the bud pores almost immediately, trapping the terpenes forever. Drying in complete darkness is also important, any direct light on your buds after harvesting will cause cannabinoid breakdown rather quickly. Hope this helps, Organoman.

You want a very gentle breeze and not directly on the buds, you want them in a dark room. But your temperature and humidity are actually really close to perfect in my opinion.

Slow drying in the dark is very important. I made a Similar mistake when I first started and had a few ounces of hay smelling bud. Was years ago. I just made it into hash and edibles. Also slight moving air is ideal. About 70 degrees is best. I dry mine in a dark basement corner closed in. Good luck hopefully this helps🌱🌱🌱👍
