Fight Low-Humidity (RH) During Curing!

I'm drying some of my crop now. Everything in my "grow tent/humidor" inside my shop was coasting along at about 55% RH by just leaving the flap-doors ajar, until this morning when the dry Santana winds blew-in from the desert, and dropped the RH to 14% within 3-hrs.
I retaliated by soaking a towel in water and squeezing out the excess - then hung it in the 50x50x80 grow tent/humidor, not dripping, and zipped it shut. I came back a couple hrs. later and the RH is hoovering at about 54% RH.
I fought the Santana's and my curing crop won, and I'll never have another premature curing as long as I have a wet towel and a zippered tent.

It never ceases to amaze me how people will spend thousands of dollars on tents, pots, nutrients, lights, seeds, medium...

and be a penny pinching bitch and not buy a simple 75 dollar programmable humidifier.

It never ceases to amaze me how bored little trolls can write dumb stuff, when they could have provided a link to the humidifier they're so proud of. But nooooo, they have to post negative stuff that nobody wants to read. A Bud-rot pox to ya's. :)

Seasoned farmers like my 5-season self, soon learn that "free" can be better than a "purchase, plug in the wall, feed the utility company, and never use the Humidifier until the next Santana" and sometimes it's a foolhardy attempt to "modernize", when the Atlas Mountain farmers use the same "wet-towel technique" in tetla-Katama, and have for centuries. It works, it's not a juice-hog and bottom-line it's at a price everyone can live with.... and that's what?... that's right!... it's-a-Free!
Listen up and take note folks:
1. Kellogg's raised-bed potting soil
2. Jack's: Veg, Bloom, and Finisher
3. Flowering: Epsom Salts (at the cheapest outlet you can find it at).

KILL:
4. All bugs on the planet during Veg: EcoVia 3-In-One
All bugs and fungi, mildew during Bloom:
A. TetraSan (translaminer [kills on both sides of the leaf]
B. 4-5 weeks before harvest: Kontos (a systemic that stays in the soil through multiple drenchings.)
C. Spinosad
D. BT (caterpillar killer)
Keep It Simple Stoopid (or KISS your money bu-bye)
Mold, Fungus, Mildew:
A. Cease (fungi repel-er)
B. Milstop (powerdey mildew repel-er)
Note: Cease, Milstop, Spinosad, and BT can all be mixed and sprayed together.

Each jug is $100. 225. depending on where you find it. But you'll have enough for several grows, crop size depending.
This is ALL you need to grow cannab and not worry about bugs or using that expensive Green Clean soap and chasing aphids, mites, grasshoppers, and what the heck ever..... they ALL die quick deaths. And you?? What about you? You fluff your pillow-up every night KNOWING that bugs are dying on BOTH sides of the leaves while you sleep!

p.s. My hanging plants are enjoying 54% RH with a damp towel hanging in front of them in the grow tent that has the zipper up to about 8" from the top. That flap is back and convection currents bring in the outside RH of 11% as needed to equalize. I monitor between iced bong-loads of Chocolate Thai. Sweet cha-rooney!:) :peace:
