What temp and rh should my dark room be for drying

Depends on the density of your buds. Airy you can dry slowly. Dense (like Bubba) you will need warm and dry (or AC and dry).
I dry them until the stems snap when bent. Then I trim and jar the buds (use glass jars). The buds almost always hit 65% RH after a few days in the jars. Burp them regularly (daily) for a month. Should be perfect.

cold and moist.but not too moist . No fans. Good luck! The slower the dry the better. Or you can toss them into paper bags and forget about them for while. Anyway, if it’s good weed it will be good / no amount of proper drying will fix poorly grown weed.

Myrcene will begin to rapidly evaporate at 68F or higher, and they will also rapidly evaporate if the RH goes below 58%. Anyway... I was taught, that your drying temp should match your RH percentage, and your drying RH percentage should match your target storage RH. For me, that is 62F/62% RH!

This is what I'm doing now, although I run it higher rh for the first several days and bring it down in steps each day. Low 60s in temps, and I start in the low 70s rh and lower the rh target a point or two each day until I hit the low 60s rh.

When you compare 70f and 60f you can see the higher rh is needed to compensate. 70f holds so much water that 50%rh at 70f equates to a roughly 70% rh at 60f.
