Slow drying help

Ok so I'm bak. Just about ready to harvest my sour diesels. And I clipped off some. To see wuts up. Now I've been struggling wit this I guess all the time wit grows. I don't wanna end up wit hay. Obviously the slow dry is a big part besides flush etc. The single branch are im sure gonna dry faster. Within 3-4 days which in my opinion and others I believe that's not enough time for converting and the breakdown process to happen am I correct. So I wanted some opinions on wut I can do to really slow things down a notch. Leave some leaf material or fan leaves on for moisture to slow down cuz I don't mind if it takes me 7 weeks (exhaturatin) to dry as long as I can have a good final product before I start curing. What's they key I see people drying for so long and I'm really afraid of F'n it all up. I always appreciat any input I can get all are welcome thanks people for tuning in

is it better to just at this point cut the whole thing down and trim and dry just so it all drys slow. Is that a goo way to ensure a slow dry. I mean I'm sure I'm not the only one who does a staggered harvest. Or maybe even cut single ones with the who branch as much as I can. Will it slow down u think. I don want to end up with crappy diesel as if some of u are familar with this strain know why I want a good harvest. Nothing is ever perfect not expecting my stuff to be superb since I'm not no "Johnny famer guy" thanks dudes for the help in advance

And just to state that I did search and do research prior to this post I usually only post a new thread If I just am kinda lost an worried So bare with me don't want to sound like an novice which there's nothing wrong in being
