The heroes and tested way used by most is to.... Dry the buds upside down for around 10/14 days at 19-23c with an rh around 50%/60%.fan circulating too but not directly on the buds. Then into your jars, fill loosely nearly to the top of the jar and seal. Every day for 2 weeks open them up and let them breath or burp. Inside the jar should be around 58/64 rh put a little display in the jar and kept on a dark place below 20c If rh is very high, they need to dry a littler longer. If it's quite low then burp them less.. After two weeks open once every 3/4 days until week 4ish. Then should be complete but can still continue to develop in the jar 🌱👍

anaerobic microbes are generally bad. Think of a humidor. That's the idea. Once dry, you merely maintain it while inevitable processes take place at a slower, more efficient rate. within 30 days you'll taste a good difference.

Oh yeah, you should have a low speed fan in your drying room as well.

Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it. I generally chop the entire plant down and hang it in a dark room with about 50% humidity for 10-14 days. You can tell when it’s ready to be trimmed by how brittle the branches are. When the branches are easily snapped when bent it’s time to trim. From there I jar everything and “burp” for a half hour at least once a day for about a month. My experience is that the longer you cure takes the better the smell and taste.
