Drying room/ RH temps harvesting

Hey everyone, so thanks to the great people here at ILGM my ladies are absolute monsters!! I received so much information and I’m super excited to chop em down. So here on the east coast it got chilly quick and wet, my home ac isn’t running which cooled the tent pretty well. I had to get a portable ac and dehumidifier which is working good. My question is now that the weather has changed and two of the 4 ladies have been flushed they are almost ready for harvest. I don’t have a room that’s 60f and 60RH. Even in the lung room it’s 70f and 50ish RH. I have a pantry that’s almost 80rh and 71f. (Been wet and stagnant here from the hurricane) is there some other way to slow dry and is it written in stone 60/60? I get the idea but does everyone have a dark room that’s perfect? If not what do these people do? I apologize this post is long but I’m kinda nervous about it. Any input is appreciated.

Hung mine in an empty 2x4 tent with the exhaust set to kick on low at 60% RH. Temps are always low to mid 70’s in the lung room and not much I can do about it. Is it perfect? Nope, but it seems to be working so far.

Ok. I do have a spare in-line. Saw a cheap tent 2x2 I think on Amazon for like 55 bucks… may have to go with that. I appreciate the response!

If it’s so ething that feels like it dries too fast jar it all at the point it feels dry and leave in jars or buckets to slow down the dry some. Open and burp the buckets daily til u reach desired rh in buckets. Saves buying another tent and having more fans run ect. One is illating fan in a bedroom facing away from the buds on low to have air movement in the room is all I use for drying. I hang dry from ceiling til. Uds feel crisp outside and still moist inside then I snip all buds off stems in a jars or buckets and cap check the buckets or jars daily and leave open for 10 to 20 mins a day for air exchange it helps slow down the dry alot preserves the terps some and makes for a lot better smoke
