Just harvested, I added 5 extra days so 60 days of flowering as it was a 55 day strain cbd shark shock, so the smell is lovely a nice fruity smell, I have put a small oscillator fan facing upside down on its lowest setting laying on the floor in the dark tent, the buds are hanging upside down, I did trim off the fan leaves, only have some small leaves on, and I have in take fan on, and extraction on, does this sound good to you ?

Listen we actually don't want airflow on our buds at all but it's a necessity for the first couple of days because they are so wet. The best cure is walking the line on everything. So for me I use a very small amount of airflow in my room and it sounds like you can too with the intake/exhaust setup. If you light a lighter and the flame is flickering around near the nugs, I'm happy. Something people don't mention during curing is heat if you're in a cooler climate you have less chance of mold and the bud actually takes longer to dry (Less energetic atoms).. Ideally I like to cure at 70'ish or a little lower is ok too but 80'ish is not ideal.
So if your buds start to dry to fast it is incredibly important you don't let the outside crisp up completely. So if the buds are drying to fast I put them into cardboard boxes or if it is a little amount I put it into a brown paper sack. I check every few hours to see if it feeling really wet if I find it that way I put it back out on the drying screen. Otherwise I leave it in the box now turning the box every 12/24 hours. What I really want is for the bud to take more than a week to dry and for it to never become completely crispy dry on the outside. Then I put it into jars to see if it gets wet and if I find that it is wet I put it back out on the screens, then back to the jars.. Then the burping begins.. Funny thing is my wife does the curing around here now it's her contribution
