Ideally, you want the drying process to go slow, but not go so slow that mold becomes a problem. Ten days is perfect, but 7-12 days is the range you want. For that, 45-55% RH is what you're looking for. For temperature, you want 18-24°C (65-75°F). Too cold will produce mold and too warm will hurt your potency. Also dry them in a dark room, as little light as possible. After that, cure in 1L or 1qt mason jars. Use boveda 62% packs for humidity control and open the jars for about 15 minutes each day. Give the buds a flip too. After two weeks, you can open the jars every few days, or even every week. 4 weeks curing is good for flavor development.

You may search on forums and see that a lot of grower like to slow dry with RH around 60~70, without problem. You must only avoid stagnated air, and care for mold if the place you put it has tendency to mold. Drying around 50~ or less will get it dried fast, so it could smell to grass. Also darkness helps to breaks chlorophyll out. And for curing, You may try to burp, but boveda will work greatly.

I hang my buds in dark, dehumidifier on at 30% and A/C at 20 celsius for about 2 days then in sealed containers (maybe an ounce in each) with a hygrometer in each and burp(open and toss around) twice a day until they reach a steady 60%RH.
