Hello again for what seems like the 100th time but please bear with me for a bit more. The problem seems to be with too high humidity, it gets about 70% RH where i am growing and drying and that's too high .. Should i put few bags of rice in the paper bags to pull the moisture?

You need to keep your mouth quiet and mind your own comments douche. We are not growing outside. This is enclosed space. Nope. When everything else is the same, humid air is less dense than dry air. This is because each H2O molecule displaces a N2 molecule, which is heavier than H2O.. That is counterintuitive, but true. No matter if your name is 1010100010101 Molecular weight of water, H2O = (2*1)+16 = 18.0 g/mole. Molecular weight of dry air; = N2 + O2 + Ar ; = (14*2)*0.78 + (16*2)*0.21 + 40*0.01 = 28.96g/mole. For any fixed gas volume, pressure and temperature, the number of molecules is fixed. Water molecules replace the average air. The answer depends on the source of heat and the uniformty of temperature across a given space. It's easy to confuse cause and effect - starting with the simple case of a room and moving on to the situation of a column of air in the atmosphere

Your previous 2 questions gave you the answer already. You've ignored all suggestions so far. Your other diaries show a damn desert, lol... i think this is some bullshit account at this point or just someone so obstinate they are simply not receptive to instruction. take the buds out of the bag and let them dry properly. go re-read what others already told you to do. LOL, and humidity does not rise... i can't beleive they are saying it, again. Dude, @ultraviolet, humidity does not rise. you've now told at least 2 people this erroneous thing. Haven't you seen fog before? does it rise? Also, this is a known factoid. It is beyond argument in 2024, lol. Also shows why anecdotal knowledge should be received with extreme skepticism.

70rh at what temperature? Isn't the idea 60F60RH%? You are honestly on rh 70%?? At what temperature 60-63F. Where are you growing, in the rainforest? Humidity rises, humidity at top of any enclosed space is always 20,30,40% higher than bottom. If your rh 70 at top of your tent what's it at the bottom? Control your temps, this will control your rh% Better to be slightly higher than lower, the metabolic processes within the plant to remove the chloryphyll can only happen so long as there is still moisture to be excreted. Once moisture is removed it cannot be replenished. Well it can but the process of getting rid of the chloryphyll will cease. This is why consistency is key with no spikes.

I dont see any mold. During first week of drying or if conditions were bad smells dissappear, but it returns in some cases ( aka cooked terpines, drying is important not to loose ) Thc will still be there, just put them into that carboard box that you made, better on some wired mesh for air circulation and install it in the middle of box, lay your nugs and leave them alone in stable temps and dark place for a week.

IMO you need to solve these kinds of problems before you run into them. Having wet flower in a bag and in high humidity for a few days has ruined it. Cut your losses. Trying weird tricks is not the way. It's like buying an oven bake meal to make at home, but you don't have an oven and want to do it on the iron or toaster. There is a ton of info online about what kind of conditions you need to end up with clean, tasty and potent medicine. If you can't create that environment for the 2 weeks you need to dry your flower, there is no point growing the plant for flower. Rather look into making hash or rosin in future. Don't play with what you put in your lungs. Trying to save this bit could end up costing you a lot more in health down the line. It's just not worth it.
