Cut and hung mine last night.
Currently in my tent hanging, temp is 75f, RH at 49-52%.
Have my exhaust fan on low/med with carbon scrubber, passive intake just for a little air circulating.

I have a tupperware with wet sponge to get humidity up, can put fan on it but did not seem ti change rh so its off.

Thoughts & tips welcome

It would be better to have your carbon scrubber on a timer instead of running all the time. Push button timers clearing your area at 8am then 2pm then 10pm. If you don't like how high the rh gets in-between those time push another bottom down and find a rh you like. But if you cut last night and your rh is 49-52% then thats way to low. And you are going to dry to fast and you won't be happy.
Also you'll need a small fan on the floor blowing air under those hung plants moving air and ever so slightly moving those branches.

Had a little humidifier for clones i put in.

Set carbon fan to come on for n hour 4 times a day.

Small fan pointed at floor on opposite side of tent, enough airflow to reach the hanging plants.

Currently at 80% rh, & 76f.
Not sure where the rh will peak, probably wont need the humidifier on much, i can fill it to run n hour or so once a day.

Reading up and seems most say 60% rh is good for drying...

Finally got it leveled around 70% rh, humidifier was a bit much but helped get it up...

leaving it closed up and see what the range shows in the morning.

Got it in a good range now, 73f and 60-70% rh.
Had to add a .5 hr every few to my exhaust/scrubber, was getting up to 78%. Will just keep n eye and start reducing those as the high number comes down.
