Hi. Just harvest my first of this run. Got it hanging in the lung room. There’s a dehumidifier and ac unit moving the air and the tent is also inside. I checked and there is air moving around the plant.
Wish I could have waited for this damn heat wave to be over but it is what it is. I can keep temps 68-73 with 50-55 humidity so that’s why I hung the whole plant. Wish I had more ideal conditions but I think I’ll pull it when it’s closer to dry and put it in some paper bags to finish dry and then on to cure.
I’d appreciate advice. This is what I have to work with.

Looks great.
I hang branches, after wet trim.
Worked great in 2022, not 2023.
Afraid to hang whole plant and mold out.
Washing, before hanging, practiced and advised.
fan lower below, gently blowing air.

Your humidity and temperature will work. What you should have done before you cut it down is took all the fan leaves off. This will make the plant dry a lot faster. If it were me, I cut them fan leaves off now.
Once you hit 11 on your moisture meter I always put everything in paper grocery bags for 24 hours sealed up
Then I throw them in jars burping them a few times a day for 20 minutes at a time until they reach 58 to 62% humidity and I throw them in the groove bags and forget about them for a year
That’s just how I do it

@Lostgirl thanks. The plant really did t have a ton of fan leaves on it as I took a lot off during flower but there are still a few. I left the leaves that were there as I though it was ideal to dry slower but I think perfection is difficult a d maybe u realistic on our level. Thx for the advice. I’ll pluck off what I can see when I get home.
This heatwave is making this stage of the grow very very interesting. Now my humidity is 45-50 in the lung room even though the dehumidifier is set to 55 just because the ac is always running. Egghh
People got it a lot worse than you. I’ve seen guys trying to dry and cure with temps close to 90° so consider yourself fortunate.
If you’re looking for a lower slower dry then leave the fan leaves on. That will surely slow it down. (Especially in a heatwave)
You got this under control!

I’m sure some people do but outside in my neck of the woods (my grow room in detached garage w no HVAC) it’s 88 degrees and 68 humidity and it’s not even 10am. I’m just hoping I don’t ruin my work. I would have left the plant up but it was beyond ready. Cheers @Lostgirl
Numbers not bad , hopefully you can get 8 to 10 days slow drying time would be perfect. Good luck
