Just to be sure and yeah Im anal like that, I always double up my meters. I have my small digital hygrometers with magnets all over the place. I get them for $10 each from Lowes. That way if something is way off i will see if its accurate or not. I use those vs my other components.
I have 24 mini hydrometers in there on the shelf, ones not in jars, they all read within 1%, surprisingly, bought 4 dozen of the little things, surprised they are accurate. Everything’s referenced to a good hydrometer and everything including the ink bird are within 1%, anything out more then 2 I pitched, was maybe 6 of them. They are just cheap things.

Yeah its completely worth it for me too. You seem to have the same way of thinking there 8-)

Cant hurt to double check for so cheap.

Well we put a lot of effort into our stash right, I did my time doing things the wrong way in the past, Early cuts fast drys, better off to just buy grey market qps for $350-400 at times lol. This time late flower light stress and or heat tried to foil me, it definitely took yield unfortunately, was a new setup and my first back in over 4 years. But I came out blazing lol.

If that temp and rh gives you 2 weeks then that explains me complaining about my nose and taste still. I am cutting a nicer plant tonight, I will bump down my rh and up the temp a few each and see how that works. In a sense, and not getting lost in bro science or terminology, am I not basically just curing in the the room, I can leave it in there for months and it will stay at 60. I don’t like smoking 60, I rather be 55 or even lower. So here’s me looking for somewhere dryer to put my jars because burping in the dry room is pointless.
The humidity of the tent stays around 60-68. I keep the house around 40%. The tent is almost completely sealed up, no fans running. As soon as the tent goes under 60% i know some smaller shit is done and i need to hang a wet towel to keep humidity up for the bigger flowers to finish their slow dry.

It’s been shit for rh here, outside is 70, inside is 55-65, room is 60, going to assess it later tonight again. Rh will be going down now, winter here brings it between 15 and 25%

Aah yeah thats a high inside RH. I run AC and dehumidifier, i hate humidity. So even though there is very little air flow into the cracks of my tent, its dry air going in and the plants still hold the tent at 60%+

It's often too dry here when I harvest (i usually grow in the winter) and plants dry way too quick. What I sometimes do is I wet trim, cut the buds off and place them in cardboard boxes or paper bags. They allow for air exchange, but you can control the speed. Might not be optimal, but works.

You can do that without wet trimming too...... Get a tall cardboard box and hang them.
