The hard part in my opinion is flowering and telling when they're done. Once they're cut and hanging it's harder to have issues, just keep them dry and burp them. Just make sure they don't get moldy and you can't go too wrong. You can try smoking a little when you burp them to tell if they're done.

If you've got favorable RH conditions, just hang and treat it like you're bbqing a brisket
Low and slow is definitely the way to do it
I just finished jarring a bunch after it had been hanging for 11 days at 57 - 62 RH
The smell opening a jar is out of this world

Beliw is link to thread for Harvest, Preparation & Curing.
Chop, bud wash, hang dry, low & slow in fridge and you are good. No dehumidifiers, runs fan to keep air moving but don’t point a fan right at your harvest, it will dry to quickly.
Don’t worry so much about the wet trim & dry trim stuff for now. Maybe do 1/2 one way and 1/2 other way for experience. Main point is chop & bud wash. After the bud wash no leaves get wasted no matter how dry or crispy. Save in 2 piles, premium stuff and then fan leaves & sugar leaves that look burnt up or bleached out. Make cobs or oil with this stuff or save for smoking.

Bud Washing
What you should do now is plan and prepare. Do you know when to harvest? Do you have a loupe? Where are you drying? Are you doing all plants at the same time? Do you have a choice? How are you drying (hanging)? Do you have boveda packs, curing jars, RH meters?

So I have a 3/3/5 tent I’m going to dry in I have 5 plants one will be ready in a week or so the others are gonna be a little later I plan on hanging some of them I purchased a screen hanger so I can put my trimmings I’m I also just orderd a 10 pack of Bro Veda packs I have some curing jars and mini rh meters
I had a similar situation. The issue is the light. I had to dry and grow in the same tent, because of the smell (not legal here). I made a half assed tent inside the tent with a cardboard box using one of the lower vents as part of the wall. It wasn't pretty, but it worked.
