How should my ventilation plan be during the drying period? First Harvest Please help :)
YezHazeEzstarted grow question 5 days ago
I just cut my plants and hung them upside down. My tent is currently at 22 degrees and 55% humidity. The input works at full power and the output at half power. Inside, there are 2 fans facing each other so that they do not blow directly on the plants.

1 small oscalating fan is great but don't have it too close.The air will get moved even if its not a strong breeze.You don't need intake outake.Keep your eye on those buds,open them up and llok at them through the drying period.I strip my buds off the plant.It make no difference whatsoever and will dry much easier.They say drying on the plant may make it dry more evenly.You'll not see any difference,I liek to get those thick stalks out of there as soon as poss.I strio hang for 10-14 days then put it in shoe boxes,paper bags are good for at least 1 month,sometimes several wks before putting it in air tight containers.Iv found this to be the best and easiest way after 30yrs of indoor growing.

Keep it siiple. Don't use a tent and you don't need a "ventillation plan"
Unless it helps you maintain an approrpriate RH, there is no reason for the tent. Early on it would cause an abnormaly elevated RH and not be helpful. In such a small space good luck getting any circulation fan to not cause excessive wind over the buds, too - it's not like the walls absorb it, lol.. still moving around way too much air relative to small volume of tent.
Use a small room. Take the canvas off or unzip the walls etc. Can still use it to hang things, if needed.
Circulation in the room is plenty, it does not need much to make the RH spread out evenly... it mostly does it by itself. Contol RH and temp for the room, which you'd have to do anyway if the tent is exchanging gases with it.
The other benefit - it's not wasting your tent unnecessarily and you can start your next grow cycle, if needed.

Sounds pretty decent to me. I can never get my temps much lower than that when drying and it turns out just fine. Usually stay somewhere between 55-60 on humidity as well. As long as the fans stay not blowing at the plants should be good there too. Seems like you’re all set.
Obviously most people say to try to be 60/60 but getting as close as you can is all you can do. Enjoy
