Using my Grow tent as the drying room..

I bought some clothes hangers (circular with pegs on) which are perfect for pegging the stems to and hanging. They are hanging about half way up inside my 2m high grow tent, intake fan at the bottom and exhaust fan at the top. I'm planning on leaving them in there for 7-8days depending on how ready they are but wanted to know from you guys...

Shall I leave the intake + exhaust fan on the whole time or will this dry my buds too fast?

There are different combinations I could use -

exhaust on, lower air holes open = exhaust sucking air in and filtering out.

Intake on, exhaust off, top air holes open to let air out = intake pumping in fresh air and forcing air out (will smell).

Could you guys give me some advice on what will be best, thanks

What's everyone else's set up?

IMO, the first option would be the best for a slow dry, which is best. It should create a passive air flow around your buds for a more even dry, but of course you would still need to monitor your temps and humidity.
Hope this helped a little. Just my take....

What is the best temp/humidity they should be in? Mine are in the dark and temp is around 60-68'F and 30-50% humidity.

Do you find it pulls in enough fresh air doing this? I may change mine over tonight if you think its better than having the intake on as well, I don't to "over-do" the fresh air being circulated!

I'm running about the same humidity45-50%, but my temps are around 73-75'F. I've read
not to allow temps/humidity above 80F/55%... If you notice a significant diff in temp/ humidity
with the intake off, then you may need it. The idea is to not dry your plants too fast(brittle,harsh),
or too slow(mold/mildew). Ahhh..the drama of this plant we love....
