Tips/advice for first time drying/curing? Did lots of research, looking for anything people overlooked or wish they knew their first time.

Drying for 10-14 days with 60% rh is my favorit method. Good luck mate

Don’t rush jarring them.. definitely wait until you have a nice hearty snap of the main branches. I rushed my first few harvests for no reason and wish I woulda let them hang a few days longer

I want airflow in my drying tent to prevent mold but I don't want to dry the plants too quickly. I try to hold the humidity around 55% and run the vent fan on low to take 10-14 days for the stems to have a good snap. Then, for small crops I'll put the flower into Mason jars but mostly I like rectangular, stainless steel Korean bento boxes. I put a electronic hygrometer (humidity gauge) into each container for 8 hours. Then when I check I want the humidity to be between 58-62%. If the humidity is I'll take a small square of paper towel and wet it and stick to the inside of the container. This is to get the flower up to the proper humidity range for curing. If the humidity is high I leave the container open longer. I check the curing containers 4-5 times a day. If they are dry I re-wet the paper towel. Eventually you can get the humidity where you want and once at the right humidity it doesn't change quickly. After the curing process, then I will put Boveda humidity packs into the containers for longer term storage.

Yeah—- dry for at least 14 days. Some many folks say 7-10– give it 14! Trust me. Passive airflow

The conditions are okay... It just takes a bit longer. My dries in the grow tent have been there for 8 days, they are getting drier, but it will still take another 2-3 days before I can put them in the jars. I only have a strong exhaust in the tent and nothing else. The exhaust sucks the humidity out, it looks like a vacuum from the outside. It's going pretty well. Morning sun on the black tent film is enough to maintain the temperature.... You just need a bit more patience. If you want to smoke something right away, 50 degrees Celsius in a convection oven for 30 minutes should make it dry, if not, repeat... Have fun with your harvest!

I have them in my tent with the lights out and oscillating fan and ducting running moving air. Thanks Organoman! That photo was from when i just hung them on Saturday evening

Dry them in complete darkness, exposing harvested flowers to direct light will cause the rapid breakdown of cannabinoids.
