Drying in Midwest Humidity, need some Advice

[Deke]

So I'm trying figure out how to dry my recent harvest with a 70% humidity. That's as low as I have in the house. The flowers have dried to 70% rh so how do I lower it to the 62% Optimum rh? The rh in the Midwest sucks for the next 2 months.

Mid South is also known for high humidity during summer months and makes it a challenge to dry buds to the optimum state. I vape most so like my herb to be in the low to mid 50's...now thats tough......air movement is a must but doesn't always eliminate problems.
Recently lost several large photo colas to bud rot so I invested in a portable ac/dehumidifier. Along with ac infinity fans, all is good again.

You need a dehumidifier as @automan2 said. Then boveda packs or similar. Good luck

If you don't mind the leccy bill, an AC is a good investment. Any room with an AC will be good for drying. I dry mine in an empty closet, inside an AC room. Closet door a few inches open. I keep a ceiling fan running just to circulate air outside the closet. Takes 4-7 days depending on buds and trimming style to cure at around 60% RH. Will need to burp around a month for my conditions. Note that my humidity and temps are very high.

I have all my jars with Integra packs. But I don't put them in until the buds are near 62%.

I have everything drying in a spare bedroom with central a/c and two fans running in the room. Whether the jars are open or closed the rh is staying at 70-71% . if I have to I'll get a dehumidifier , but they suck if you can't.run a hose for the drain, and in that bedroom I can't.

An AC works as a dehumidifier as well. With the AC on especially on dry mode, at around 25C, it's quite impossible for RH to still stay at 70%.

The a/c is running, and the humidifier is disconnected. It's as dry as I can get it.

Got a portable dehumidifier. So we'll see how it goes. Everything still sitting at 70% rh

I was about to suggest a space heater for the room. Higher temp yields lower humidity. Your dehumidifier should do the job for both removing water and increasing the temperature. Keep the door closed.
