I've chopped the plants, big one is whole plant and small one in branches. Is my 6" roof fan (seen week one) on "low" (1/3) enough ventilation if they're both hanging in the tent? I've turned off my circulation fan, should I put it on low underneath the buds? Humidity ~55

I typically leave them at 50% humidity for the first 2 days then increase the humidity to slow down the drying process to about 60%. As long as you have some air movement inside the tent you should be good. Running a small fan inside the tent is fine as long as it's not blowing directly on the hanging plants. Depending on the size/density of the buds usually a 7-10 day drying period is fine. I usually remove the smallest buds (4-5 days)then the med buds when they are dry enough and put them loosely in jars with a digital hygrometer. Goal is to get them down to 62% humidity then let them cure for 3 weeks then sample some buds. If the humidity is in the 64-67% range you can just leave the top off the jars for a couple of hours a few times a day. If they are over 67% to 70% you need to remove them from the jars and leave then out for several hours then put them back in the jars to see where you stand. Teflon baking pans work well for me. Once they are down to 62% and 1st week of curing I remove the tops from the jars 2- three times a week just to make sure they smell properly without any musky ammonia like odors. Weeks 2-3 I'll check them once or twice a week. If you wind up with low humidity under 62% you can get a clean cotton ball and wet it with distilled water then squeeze the excess out and add it to your jar for a few hours to bring the humidity back up then remove it. You can cut a small piece of aluminum foil for it to sit on. Hope this helps you will get ten different opinions on the best way to dry/cure your buds always do what works best for you.👍

Yes should be fine. Recommend is 70 degrees ferenheit and 50% humidity when drying. So if u are at 55 I wouldn't stress.
