Will high humidity cause plants to stop drying? I can't get it below 65% consistently.

I have been drying this one Zkittlez for 17 days and it seems like it stopped drying. Nothing has changed in days. The bend feels the same. The buds are still really loose and airy. They also don't snap off at all. Any ideas? Or is it obvious? Thanks!

High humidity does not stop the drying it just makes it slower, for me to dry slowly is better and more efficient but I will say watch out for the mold If you see any sign of mold then you can remove the mold and rest rush them and place them in the jar and burp, that need to be last option, I will still say wait for it or you can cut the big branches just hight with the small branches that hold the buds or you can just dry the buds without the branches 💪🍻

Thanks for all the help so far everyone! But the one question still stands. Will the high humidity stop the drying process? Unfortunately, the buds haven't snapped off the branches yet and the branches are still really bendy. I'm worried that it won't fully dry. If that's the case, should I trim and put them in curing jars? And burp like 5 times a day for a week?

If you hang large branches, these will take longer to dry than smaller branches or individual buds. Finally, the temperature, humidity, and airflow in your drying space will also have a big impact on the time it takes for your weed to dry. The drying process takes 7-14 days. Larger buds and whole plant drying methods may take longer, up to 21 days The good drying room temperature is between 60-70F--15-21C humidity 55-65 % Btw on the pic, they look ready, Try to pull the bud away from the steam, and if it snaps off then is ready 🤯

Pienso que tu tienda esta muy húmeda por eso tarda el secado. Si no tienes extracción de aire puedes poner 1.

Puedes usar gel silica para mantener una humedad relativa menor en el espacio de secado. Hay que tener en cuenta que la humedad del ambiente estará en balance con la humedad de los cogollos, mantener en 58% sería algo óptimo para obtener un buen resultado luego de 7 a 9 días de secado 💪🌿🍁🌬️

Should only need one good dehumidifier. Like enough to do like 1000 square feet- I find in summer and humidity high I strip from main stems (wet trim) and put on drying racks- this helps a lot...if you leave main stems and leaves the buds will wick the moisture from the stems first

I have air flow at the bottom of the tent with a couple fans and my exhaust constantly pulls air from the tent straight to the outdoors. I have both vents open on the bottom as well. With 2 dehumidifiers in there as well.

Are you removing air out of the tent ?

Humidity should definitely stay under 65%. Of course out of the tend the AC is useless, maybe you should ventilate and change the air more to contrast humidity

More info: I have a dehumidifier in the tent, an AC out of the tent which doubles as a dehumidifier. I've basically taken every action I can afford to take. Outside, it's 80% humidity and this has been going on for a month now. I'm not sure if I missed any details, but if it did, ask and I shall answer. Thanks again. Really hope I can get some insight here.
