I've hung dry a lot with just the extraction going when i do my brown paper bags aswell i just have that running but there are more than 1 way to skin a cat they say but this is my way
I can’t wait to get my bags tomorrow! When I get my bags since I have a empty tent right now do I put my bags in the tent also to control the climate? And I agree everyone does things their own way and that’s okay too!

Having a perpetual grows and harvests for over 15 years, I've probably tried every way there is to get my weed to the best state I can. The primary thing to retain terpenes seems to be a slow slow dry. Drying a run of 3-4 plants every 3-4 weeks, ya kinda figure what works best for taste and potency.
I built two large totes with computer fans to draw filtered air past hanging stalks of buds that are trimmed a little more every day for 3-4 days till a final bud trim goes into brown paper bags. Drying in a bathroom where humidity is high is my way of slowing dry....

That sounds like a neat trick. Last night was the first time I’ve ever trimmed a plant. I have three or four more to trim today and tomorrow lol it seems like harvest time is just as important as growing. Do y’all think 61 rh is good? Bc that’s where it’s staying in the tent.

Yep 60+ rh is great for drying.
I just put the buds in a free US Postal Service box, jab some holes in the top and sides, and leave it out or put it in the tent if there is too much smell. It's dry about 5-7 days later. Seems comparable with the paper bag method. Just err on the side of slower drying and can't really go wrong much.
