How long do plants usually take to dry hanging in tents
Normally need to do it rather quickly as temps in my house won’t be able to be below 70
I have a intake and exhaust fans.
Temps probably be right around 70-74
Thank you for any help

If you can keep the humidity down around 60, should be good in 8-9 days if trimmed. We always trim so thats the limit of my knowledge.

At times, I can only get 3 days hanging , but extended jar burping, trying to slow the dry. My garage floor is 60F, in winter. But 40-80RH.
I run a dehumidifier 24x7, now, in winter (PNW).

I would try to keep it as close to 70*F as you could. RH you could keep between 55-60% rH.
The tried and true method is 60* f/60% rH but they are finding now that dew point could be pretty important. The Cannatrol (high end weed drying+curing machine) uses a 52-54* f dew point.
There are a few dew point calculators online you can use to try to mimic these conditions. For 70* F in your dry tent, a 54* f dew point would require 57% rH.

I dry in a tent in my lung room and my last harvest I pulled at 7 days. The temps were around 70-72 and the RH around 58-60%. I bagged the buds and the RH hit 68%, I just toss them back in the tent in the bag with it open to gas off a little more for a day

Sounds like my situation…
Thanks man…
I have bad timing…
I have to leave for Vegas the week before I cut or the day before…
Sometime around then…
Hopefully done by then and ready to chop…
So I can get them dry or dry them while I’m gone.
Happy Growing…

If you don’t water the plants for a few days before harvest, they will have less water in them and they dry faster.
If the temperature is too cool, they dry slower. Higher humidity levels also increase drying times.
Last year’s harvest took nearly 3 weeks to dry so I left them hanging and they spent about 6 weeks drying and curing. It’s been 6 months since then and they still stink even though they are in sealed glass jars, in a plastic bin liner, in a cardboard box, in the cupboard. 
Some people suggest drying for 1 week and cure for 2-4 weeks. Other people prefer to dry for 2 weeks. It’s really up to you if you don’t mind waiting then let them dry for 1-2 weeks, then cure for 2-4 week.

I set my temp at 60° and rh at 60% I went 12-14 days. It came out perfect.
