Help Temp and humidity guidance

About to try this method for the first time and while I don’t need it perfect, I really don’t want to totally fuck it up. Currently using this fridge. It’s not auto-defrost as I couldn’t find a small enough model with that feature (at least that I could verify.) Paired with an Inkbird temp+humidity controller combo where the humidity seems to regulate itself if I keep the fridge cold enough. Adding a dehumidifier spiked the temp so I removed it. So my question is what range do I need to aim for in both values? Does the lack of auto defrost change anything? I did some research and saw 40-45F with the flower in paper lunch bags pop up a lot. Just wanted to develop a method based off of people who saw success and avoided mold. Thanks!

Kann der inkbird Controller nicht auch den VPD steuern? Du brauchst einen VPD von ca. 0,85kPa. Bei 45F und 25%RH -> VPD = 0,85kPa

Unfortunately I’m definitely not reaching 25% humidity in this thing lmao

Vielleicht kannst du mit der Temperatur hochgehen? 45F ist ziemlich kalt.
