My humidity gets to about 20-30 percent right now even with humidifier i can barely keep it at 50. I normally wet trim but should I leave the leaves on for now to slow it?
How should I dry during winter?

I am following this for my knowledge as well.
But, Ive been in similar situations. In my case I just closely monitored it and ending up doing a final dried trim about 4 days sooner then my normal 7 dry time. It ended up ok, a little drier, but its all personal stash so in the end its whatever.
I do a heavy wet trim typically: Fans and try to get most of the non sugar off.

I have similar issues at times. I would just chop and hang and allow to dry for a couple days max. Then give a quick trim and toss the buds into a brown paper bags to slow down the drying process.

Yea that's what I do with an evaporative humidifier on an inkbord controller. Computer fan blowing air out (very slow) and vent open on bottom creating air flow.
But I usually use a 3x3 or 2x4

Same here. Ultra sonic humidifier, inkbird tied to exhaust, and air movement.
Way easier to control humidity in there than my actual grow tent

My humidity was about 50% and 60f while drying, i had to shorten my initial hang dry time due to this. I also broke up the drying into 2 phases, one fast hang dry to remove a bulk of the moisture, and a slower dry in paper bags in a sealed rack. It worked great.

Agreed. I much prefer the air to be dry then I add my own moisture to it and make it what I want it to be rather than dehumidifiers running and heating up the area. It'll vary from 58-65% which is pretty much perfect imo
Once you dial in your dry tent dense buds can take 14 days to dry proper, and the taste is unparalleled.

Dedicated drying area is my next upgrade, it’ll be real nice not having to slow my plants down for 2 weeks every time I harvest.

Ya. Control dry room is key. Why fluff the most crucial part. It's quite the diff in smoke slow cool dry vs fast.
I have always had the same problem until I started using large, heavy duty brown paper bags. I harvest, wet trim and break down the buds. Then into the bags in a single layer. Fold it over once and add a clip so I can hang the bags. Give it a quick shake every day. I don't even open the bags to check up until around the 6th or 7th day. Usually goes to around 10 days doing it this way and never have any issues.
