Can you over-dry in a 60/60 environment?

[Danielsaaan]

Question is in the title. 60/60 being temp and RH. Aren’t these the same numbers we aim for in cure? Appreciate any feedback!

I wouldn't think so with that temp and rh. But you could definitely not dry it enough and screw up the dry and cure. A wood moisture meter is cheap and helps determine when to cure so you don't fudge it up. After two weeks of whole plant hang I check daily. One probe into the bud and one probe into the stem will give you accurate readings. Always clean probes with paper towel and rubbing alcohol every test so the readings are accurate. When buds read 10 to 11 percent moisture on the meter it's time for the cure. If you don't have a meter or the money for a meter you should be drying until smaller and medium size buds break off the main stem without leaving a string. The top main colas will still have some bend but that just means there is moisture left inside for the cure. If you don't have a moisture meter I would be burping during curing daily for 2 weeks. If you dry til 10 to 11 percent you don't need to burp. But I always recommend sweating buds for at least a day or two before the cure to prevent mold inside your buds. Don't want too much moisture trapped inside.

You can overdry, but you have to work at it. Should be fine.

How could you overdry if humidity is 60 percent? It's about that humidity in a jar and it don't overdry when it is curing at that rh. I feel it might be very hard to over dry at that temp and humidity.

The only way I see that could happen is you had a fan pointing on the bud. That might dry it out below that 60 %. Maybe

Moving air will extract more moisture from the bud, no fan please.....

Do you recommend no fan at all?

no fan blowing on the buds at all, a small fan pointed away from them just to move some air is fine though.

No, I should have been more clear, sorry, no direct fan blowing on them, but you do need some circulation.

Yup !

Only if you're meters are incorrect.
