Can't get the dry room below 65-70% humidity

As the title says I just harvested and the humidity where I am right now is gone nuts, can I ride it out for a few days at this humidity or am I doomed for bud rot. I currently have an ac and dehumidifier going

cooler means more humid
so stay at 70 .. if you increase to 73 rh wil probably drop around 60

honestly 65% rh for drying is not excessive, just keep an eye on the buds if they are very dense
avoid temperatures drop in the room. rh will increase and botrytis love it

Ok I appreciate the response, this puts my mind at ease a bit. I'm sitting at 70degrees 64% right now. I just borrowed another dehumidifier so hopefully I can get down to 55%. The buds are pretty dense on most of the phenos I have so I was pretty worried, I have a lot invested in this harvest.

What? Cooler air holds LESS moisture than warm air.
I'd be checking the device you measure the rh with and make.sure it's accurate
Raising your temps is horrible advice. Don't listen to that

Cold is relatively higher in figure but has a lower actual moisture content, my drying conditions were 15/16c 62/65% with constant ventilation, the drying is finished in the jar/bucket to around 60% finished product.

Hang a damp tissue in the room and see how it dries, good drying conditions feel quite cold/cool.

raising temp will lower RH .. so no its not a bad idea if it is our only option ..

Dude. Re read your highschool text books and stop giving out terrible advice that is wrong.

sorry to disappoint you but it is basic growing knowledge
the subject of the thread is bud rot

i can guarantee that at 20 degree and 80% rh you have all the chances to get botrytis
at 29 degree with the same rh you will never get bud rot, as long your air circulation is fine
"Botrytis is favored by cool temperatures (50° to 60°F) and high relative humidity "
please dont be agressive to prove your point, mostly when you're wrong

Lol. K
Actually the thread was about dropping humidity.
Have a good one.
