Drying in Midwest Humidity, need some Advice

Hope you have resolved. Nothing worse than tripping just before the finish line.
To expand on "bakequatorial", A/C's lower humid air temperature to the dew point (ie. 100% humidity) at which time it either frosts up (coils) or condenses (drains) the excess moisture. Essentially, what exits the AC inside is much cooler air at high humidity.

I've been drying in high heat and 90% humidity on some days no problems yet probably helps I'm drying in a box with silica packets and the house is dry wouldn't want to grow outside

So I put a portable dehumidifier in the room that was at 70% rh . I opened the jars and 8 hours later the rh was 55%, and so was all the bud!!!! 8 hours and it dropped it 15%?! .
So I figured once I close the jars the rh will rise...nope. In 8 hours the buds lost 15% . I put some 62% packs in each jar and so far the RH has come up 1-2 % but that didn't really help the buds did it. If I can get them stay in try upper 50's for the next month maybe I'll get an ok cure. Not happy

Dedicating a closet to drying . It's either to humid or zero humidity.
I have a cedar closet I'm going to put the dehumidifier and soon to have humidifier into and use it as a dedicated drying room. It backs up to one of the bathrooms so I'll run the drain hose from the dehumidifier through the wall to drain the water.
