When did you cut it down? MC level should be like 6% to 8% for the cut down and bin up and start trimming.

Bud Mc level will always be higher. The stems will dryout first.

4 and half days ago
I'm seeing ppl says 7 to 9 percent and 10 to 12 percent other places...it's not that much so itll prob dry in 6 days im thinking
I think I might be drying a lil fast with the exhaust fan on and fan at bottom on low but it's still smelling fire and seems to be good

Yeah I'd hang dry it for atleast 10 days sometimes 14. Then bin it up for 7 days while I'm trimming it.

When u say bin it up what do you use for that ?

Once I hang dry it and get all the ugly leaves off with no trichomes I then put it all in a bin. Like a moving container. Fill it up and let the curing process begin. I can always open or close the bin lid to control humidity. And For convenience. I can trim at home. At the job. At a buddy's spot.
