Is 62 degrees too cold to dry?

I have no other options and the room it's in even with a space heater won't get above 63. It's around 62 with %50 rh. What's everyone thoughts? Get another space heater lol ;)

I believe, the cooler you keep the room, the longer it takes to completely dry, and but yet, the smellier it will be,.. remember, heat of any type destroys the terpinoids, thus lowering the smell of the buds..Terpiniods are attached to the trichromes, or, "Crystals'..and are prone to drying out and losing smell, especially with a fan going, blowing slight het..all the times i have used a fan, the buds suffer the loss of most smell..The best I ever dryed was in an old barn, dryed cold in 12 days, late October temps..leaves were bendable, didnt snap like they do when room temperature heat is present in a structure..I have ruined extremely good smelly bud over the years, drying different ways, when i have had lots of it to dry,..from baking it on a tarp in the hot sun, to laying it on a roof of a building, to drying it on a wooden floor with a faan blowing hard on it room temperature,..just seems to blow the smell right off..I recommend slow, cool area,..take a few extra days..but well worth the wait..

Sounds promising for me
Because of late harvest the temps inside my dryroom are way lower, normally it would be dry after 4-5 days, now its half way :)

62's fine I just finished drying mine in the garage and temps were around there even lower at night. Came out killer actually, best smelling outdoor I've had for a while. Opening the curing tins throws out a nice waft of dankness :)
