Heloo @blueslinks85 ! What you need to do is a slow drying process but not to slow because you risking bud rot development . The best conditions to do that is at 18 - 20 °C and around 50% - 55% RH. If you don't have the equipment to achieve stable environment conditions you need to adapt. For example if you have a hot environment with low RH you need to harvest at about 4-5 hours after watering so the plants have water inside them and won't dehydrate very quickly . If you have a cold environment with high RH you need to harvest 1-2 days after your last watering so the plants don't have a lot of water inside them and not having the risk of bud rot development. The best period of drying at optimum conditions is around 7-10 days or until the little stems of bud sides brake when you pull them instead of just bend . After that the best way and economically affordable to cure them is inside a jar at 16 - 18 °C with a Boveda envelope. I like the Boveda with 58 RH. Most people like the 62% but that's on your personal preference. I can guaranty you will not loose any terpenes with boveda.

Being that you're outdoors let them use the last night and then chop in the am. Bring them into a dark, warm temp room, like 65-70 degrees, keep humidity low at least 50% or lower and then just check them regularly. If the outter leaves begin to crisp and the small buds pluck easily then its time to chop and cure. Glass jars etc. Keep closed but be sure to open and let plants breathe at least once a day and give em a little shake to make sure the moisture isnt trapped at the bottom. Id let them cure like this for at least 2 weeks, more is better. Great job getting the purple, its beautiful. ✌️💜
