hi, so i started drying my plant yesterday in my tent i wet trimmed and then hung in tent i have a fan above my herb and a fan below it neither pointed directly at the bud and both on lowest setting my rh ranges from 40% to just over 45% the temps on the night are 22c to 23c but in the daytime they go as high as 26c are these good drying conditions and if not what can i do to avoid a quick dry??
thanks in advance

You don’t need that much air moving. Just a gentle exchange. You’ll dry too quickly. Best combination is 60F and 50% humidity. Maybe 45%. I’d rather overdry slightly than jar damp and grow mold. A 62% Boveda pack can spruce up slightly overdried buds c

You’re way too hot for optimal drying. Fans don’t cool air at all. They just move air around. The sensation of cooling on your skin is because you’re a warm blooded mammal. Promise on the multiple fans. Just enough fan to keep air from being stagnant. If you are going to grow a cool mist humidifier is a good investment. Size depends on if you grow in a room or a tent. Same with a dehumidifier if you are trying to flower or dry during high humidity.

I don't use either of my circulation fans for drying, only have my intake/exhaust fans set to their lowest. I aim for 60%RH & 60-65f degrees. The goal is to dry it in something like 10ish days not 3 days.

DIY humidifier, I've used a cat litter box with 2-3" perlite and 1/2-2/3 that depth of water(splash of hydrogen peroxide optional). Place on seedling mat and rh will increase. This worked better the an ultrasonic humidifier in a 2x2.
