i put them in a box but was reading that direct fan on them is bad ? so not sure how to go about this

When the smaller stems break when you bend them up and away from the stalk and the outside of the buds feel dry it's time to put them in the jars the first time. You might have to take them back out a few times as the moisture inside the buds leech back into the outside dry part.

i have these burp lids with a pump to extract all oxygen, this will prevent mold correct?

the best way to prevent mold / mildew is to make sure they're dried to the proper humidity before sealing the jars. best way to ensure that is to get some mini hygrometers.

direct fan will dry your buds too quickly, you just want the air in the room to not be stagnant. aim it into a corner or anywhere but directly at the buds.

As long as you dry properly you shouldn't have any mold issues in curing. Get the meter i got a few for 20 bones on amazon Caliber III. Well worth the moneys.
