So I’ve come to the end of my 1st grow alone

just a few pictures of my buds hanging to dry room temp is around 20-25 and humidity around 45-50...feels like it’s took forever but very pleased with the outcome,I know drying is just as important would you guys say these temps are about right?
Thanks in advance

Well done, you did great for your first go !!!! Yes temps and humidity sound ok , the longer it takes to dry the better it will be, curing is a thread all to itself, personally I do the bag method. Have some slight air movement DO NOT have a fan blowing on your buds , rather pointing away on lowest setting

Yh I’ve been told not to have the fan directly in the buds....there on speed two of 3 but I’ll turn the down as I’m in no rush for them to dry, what would you recommend drying time around 7-10 days?

7 is usually stems will snap, ill bag up at say 6 and vent and roll until dry, then burping everyday then rehydrate at week two maybe and start burp and roll again

Looks Great , 7 days sounds about right . I suggest using air tight jars to cure , burp when you see the moisture build up in the jars and repeat as often as need be till there is no more moisture . When storing your meds always use air tight jars , in a cool dry area . This will help keep it fresh

If the colas gather, from hanging upside down, spread them back open, to ward off mold. You've got some large colas, they could bunch up & hold too much moisture where touching.
I look for a spongy feel under a crispy outside. You'll need that moisture to have a good cure. After i get the right "feel", i cut everything off the big stems into a 3.5 gallon tote and put the lid on. Everyday I'll reach in to turn my product & read the moisture, with my hand. After they level out, 2-4 days, I'll jar & let them rest for a couple days. After 2 days, check each jar for too much moisture or a funky smell - either shows up, go back to tote for a day or two & jar, again. If not, still check all jars, for a week to be sure. Should be good after that!
Don't dry all the moisture out!! Good luck!
