First time drying?

Hello all, first time grower here and I’m trying to figure everything out as I go. But I’m just trying to make sure I’m not making any major mistakes.

I just harvested my first plant out of my stealth cabinet last night, with a wet weight of 5oz. Since the Cabinet isn’t being used to grow anymore I turned the hooks for the trellis net into the hooks to hang by colas.

the questions I have are what type of airflow should I have? right now I have the buds suspended halfway up the box with my fan below them on a light setting making sure it’s not directly on them. However my hygrometer says the humidity Is floating around 70% right now. Should I have my intake / exhaust on to try to manage that level better?

Or will the humidity level gradually go down as the buds dry out over the next few days?

any additional info needed I’ll respond ASAP.
Thanks so much

I dry between 60-65 temp, 60% Rh for the first 3 days, then I drop the Rh to 50% for the remainder. But that’s just how I do it.

I exhaust, but I don’t use my actual exhaust fan, it’s too powerful even with my speed controller. I have a house fan that I use to exhaust, I just sit it right on top of the exhaust hole on a low speed. No intake either, I just open the bottom flap and suck air in that way. I do this to prevent too much air flow. I also keep my humidifier directly next to the open flap, and my dehuey inside. I also have a fan inside the tent, but I make sure not to have it facing directly at the buds. My controllers keep both humidity and temp in check. Might sound like a lot but my drying is perfect every time.
