Drying bud in attic?

So I was planning on drying my bud in my inside a plastic tote with two large holes for ventilation and also with a small fan. Do you guys think it will work well? It is currently 92 degrees with 31 percent humidity inside the attic.

I would not recommend doing it inside a plastic container like that.

No container at all is better.

If you've never dried bud before, keep a close eye on them when they start to get crispy on the outside. After a few days I use brown paper (grocery) bags inside plastic trash bags to slow/re-moisten buds as they come to dry. I alternate leaving the plastic bag open or closed, or even off completely if they are still very moist. I'll do this till the main stem snaps. The slower you can dry your buds the better they will be.
Medium-high humidity and lower temperatures will slow the dry down. The bags are a cheap attempt to raise/lower humidity of the drying environment. Jars are too impractical sometimes.
Your attic would dry them out much too fast at that temp/humidity.

So I decided to wait until the weather cooled down to dry my buds and boy has it.
So I checked today and the attic was 78 degrees with 49 percent humidity.
Would those temps be okay to dry?
