New Grower how to dry when you have no idea what your RH is.

Im clueless myself so would love to read replies.
I was gonna hang inside the tent have a moving fan placed inside and not facing the buds and keep the cf and extraction on. Hope itll take around a week for dry bud with stalk that snaps then jar and burp for at least a week

Yep. Just hang it, manicure it, then put some in a jar with a hydrometer. You want your humidity to end up between 55%-60%. If it's higher (it probably will be at first), you can open the lid, hang or paper bag the bud for a while. Then jar it and test again. Do that until the humidity is within range. Then they're ready to be stored.

Hang it in a dark closet. DO NOT put a fan on them. I think that ruins any chance of getting a good flavor during the cure process.
If you are comfortable inside the room, then the RH is probably below 65%. Let them hang until the buds feel a little crunchy with a slight squeeze, then go another day. You are going to need a hygrometer anyway, and lucky for you they are really cheap. If you have a Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart or Target near by, you can pick up the Accu-Rite temp and humidity monitor for about $10.

Thanks man $10 is nuthin I was thinking they were expensive like Hanna meters.
No fan,the sloer you dry the better.Justkeep it in a cool dark place until its a little crispy outside then put it in a paper bag for a couple days or until buds are tighened up and dry. Then put in jars and check everyday and open them up for 15 min and reclose.Do this for about two or thre weeks and It should be ready to smokebut it will still age for another two or three months to really mellow out.:booya::smokebuds:
Jus trimmed them and hung them in a box

would using an air-tight container of some sort like a tuprwair bowl & making a drying rack in it above a small layer of rice would work??
