My RH in my drying area is 45%. How can I get it up a little bit?

I have been putting bowls of water on the floor of the wardrobe they are drying in.

Is this a good idea?

Hang a wet towel with fan blowing on it.
45% isn't bad though IMO.
Thats something else that works real well. When i did like that i would have towel hanging to where just the end was in a bucket of water so the towel acts like a wick.

I tried that but it didn't work for me.
However, I am in a tight space and could only get the towel 6" away from the fan. I would guess the type/thickness of towel would be another variable.
I ended up like you with a bucket underneath but would drop the towel down into the water twice a day then peg it back into place, using the bucket to catch any excess.
P.s. I should have mentioned (the obvious). Safety first. Always remember electricity and water don't mix. Well, they do, that's the problem!

I've cured in 30-45%rh, not the greatest but it worked well, I wouldn't stress it, just keep an eye on your ventilation and your good.

At that humidity just make sure your temps dont get too high, then it will dry way too fast. I'd say try to keep it around 65-70

RH went down to 30% today but I took measures to take it back up to 50% now. 3 days in I'm nervous. Don't want to lose the dry/cure.

I have some plants drying like 10% right now, I'm afraid they're going to crumble like a vampire in the sunlight at any second!

Nope Colorado but its probably just as dry and Sup just jar them early and make sure you dump them out for a few days to slow down the drying process

Damn thought I found a new growing buddy lol
