70/40? And plants are wet? Do you have good air circulation?

I’m sure it will be fine, get them dry fast and I wouldn’t let it happen twice.

Any technique? You recommend

I would try to increase temperature and air circulation but be careful with lighting while the plant is wet, cause other issues like burning.

I still don’t understand how they could have gotten wet at 70-40…
off the top of my head the dew point at 70 degrees would be like 65-70% humidity?

70 degrees 40% is like around a 1.5 VPD, guessing… are you sure the hydrometer is working correctly? Can you test it against another one?

I used a pure humidifier and that cools the air and I didn’t know that till this afternoon

Your humidifier is probably vaporizing water and leaving behind water droplets.

Is it an ultrasonic type?

Oh man! I didn’t realize you were drying!! Disregard my previous advice!!
I was thinking finish line was late flower.

Keep temps lower like you have them.
Try using a wet towel and a bucket of water as a wick humidifier, add some hydrogen peroxide to the water to keep bacteria from growing and have a fan pointing towards it.

Don’t point fans at drying buds.

The doors closed the fans on to suck out the humidity

I have committed this a few times. A lot of the drug store mist type humidifiers should not be placed inside a smaller tent. They put out a fine mist, but most are not an ultra fine mist. The larger mist particles they put out require a dry air to quickly evaporate into the air. If you are trying to push the humidity above 50% the mist will not completely evaporate, and will start to collect on the plants first. Then next other surfaces will become wet as well.

If low humidity is a common problem for you, leaving the fan leaves will help slow the dry, giving the process enough time to get rid of the chlorophyll and move to curing.

Sorry I guess I misunderstood also.
I hope you get it dried up and on track.
FYI, when I was drying in small tent that was in a dry lung room. I set the tent’s exhaust fan to run 15 minutes each hour. This gave a good slow 10 day dry time.

65 degrees and 60% humidity is ideal for drying Growmie :love_you_gesture:
