What should my humidifier and dehumidifier be set to

In my drying room what numbers should my humidifier and dehumidifier be set to? What temps do you run? Just curious what people are doing.

I like to dry with temps in the 60's and humidity in the 50's. Avoid extremes, monitor the progress and you'll be fine. I only use a fan to keep the air in the area moving. I hang plants whole with only fan leaves removed and dry trim before jarring.

Temp at 65, humidity at 60. Theres some wiggle room with those numbers but keep in mind that when you're smelling plants that is terpenes lost from your finished product. The higher the temp, the more you'll lose.

I'll buck the fans off and hang whole branches; with the room set to those numbers it will take between 6-10 days to get stem snap dry. Fans running in the room but not directly on the branches. I've increased temps to 70 and 75 but the finished product is better when the process is slowed down and there is biological breakdown leading to smooth smoke.
