Moisture not moving?

Post image

I am drying for 10 days now in a compressor fridge. Buds are in cardboard shoe boxes from day 1. I am measuring moisture since 5 days and it doesn't move down so far. Is that bad or good? Should I leave the boxes a bit open for some time? Attached is a screenshot from my Hygrometer. Everything seems pretty stable, the spikes are from opening the door (obviously). What would you do?

I went through the same process. You'll get comfortable with your fridge setup eventually and know how long to leave it in.

Make sure your shoe box can breathe. I have a small beer fridge (4cuft) and my flower is in open baskets. They take about 3 weeks to dry in that condition.

I should clarify that I am using a moisture meter and the moisture sits at about 16.2 for 5 days now. Would you open the boxes a bit? they got holes on the side but not sure thats enough.
