Dehumidifier vs Fans vs Both

Currently harvesting my first crop, and I've found that though forums have provided me with a plethora of knowledge on the rewarding technique of cannabis growing , I tend to see differing opinions, and find myself stuck on what I should follow.

So! I currently have a dehumidifier and two decent sized fans inside of my makeshift drying room that's about 7x7.
I think two fans may be too much...
I also think a dehumidifier will be too much run @ 24H... But then I went to my local grow shop and he told me no fans and only dehumidifier!

What I'm thinking is the dehumidifier @ 12/12.
Fans on low at all times.

What do you guys think?!

Lot o popcorn. I try to dry as slow as possible without getting mold. I find it tastes/smokes/smells better. I use only fans but not directly on them. Just enough to get the air in the room moving . To each his own.

fans moving air allows more o2, you keed air exchange..that along with rh is necessary to cure. ive never used a dehumidifier.. with increased airflow the plants dry faster, not good, which is why a high rh is great besides holding open stomata.

i would probably stop taking advice from them

just my penny

I like using a strong exhaust fan, I want to pull the air across the material and away, rather than push air at it. Also I agree about needing some humidity for a good slow dry, I wouldn't use a dehum personally.

As of right now it's in a sealed, somewhat form of a bubble made of black tarp/plastic. Should I cut some holes in it to let it breathe better? I can run down the side of it with a box cutter...

And then just have a fan pulling air out of the room?
