I dry in my tent and use a dehumidifier in my lung room until I can hold 60% rh or less. So far I only need it for the first 2 - 3 days. I also am able to vent to outdoors, which is a big help as well.

I'd not recommend it used in the actual tent Duke. I've done this and it literally sucks the moisture out of the bud, essentially fast drying it, hay smell, never cures properly. What Grunmpy suggests is the better way, dry the air on the way into the tent from a lung room or the room itself the tent/drobe is in.

A dehumidifier only good for a few days in there so wouldnt bother rh on the other hand is different
