Right guys i am flushing out my plant this week,and looking to give her the chop on the weekend.I am limited to the places were i can hang my bud to dry.I originally planned to use my budbox but still have another lady in there who has a few weeks left yet so thats out.So i have my shed in which the budbox is located as an option,(problem here is the temps though they will almost certainly be in the mid 20`s at least during the day.Then i have a pantry in the house we dont use temps would be perfect (room temp 15-19) but doubt the humidity will be more than say 20-30%.Anyone have any tips on how to raise the humidity i dont have an humidifier.Any help much appreciated.

You dont want high humidity for drying. I would stay with the 20-30% area and hang them until the stem snaps (approx 1 week). Ensure proper air flow as well just not directly on them.

I would say that because of the high temperature, you want the humidity around 50% because otherwise it may dry too quickly. What you can do is have a vant fan but use a timer to have it on every 15 minuites and off for 15 minuites...
To increase humidity, don't use a tiny box to dry your buds in. Larger box will hold more water in it. Also, don't have an oscillating fan inside, just a vent fan'll do. +rep for a bomb ass plant man.. what sort of lighting, veg time, flower time.
