This is untrue, you do need higher temps to use CO2. The plants stomata open up at around 85F. I do believe that it increases temps though, I don't know why. It may be due to the extra humidity released because of increased plant development or the added weight to the air in the room.

Hang em upside down in a dark place with an oscillating fan.. Thats pretty much the best way..
Seems like the buds are better too..

ive always harvested in the morning, but never had the size you are working with....ive always dried mine just strung up in cardboard boxes in the top of a closet or in the attic or something, never worried about a fan, i dont have many 75+ degree areas with humidity over 65% in or around my home so mold never really worried me....recently though i dried a few sample buds in a jar just with the lid off, (i could still see the bottom, very sparsely laid out) and they took like 10-12 days to dry b4 i could jar them but they were head and shoulders above the rest of that plant, soo smooth, almost like hookah or something, idk if it was the super slow dry or what, but im trying it again with a few more buds to see if thats the trick
lol yeah i got quite a bit of rep this is from two grows the the first few pages with the buds hung up was from my first grow. I got new pics coming in 2 daysthe trichs are all milky now but the trichs on the leaves of the bud are amber??
man your putting in work. . . any of the good tips you advisor give you do pass along to the rest of us. . .

I've heard that different strains react differently. Some growers leave there plants in complete darkeness for up to 72 hours before harvest, instead of leaving the lights on. I've heard that it can't have negative affects, but it can increase trichome development in certain strains.. and save some electricity
. Just monitor the plants every so often and make sure they get a good watering right before the dark period. It's supposed to help them suck up all their remaining resources. I think I read this in High Times.You should run a test if you can, put some in darkness and the rest left under light and compare

The way you dry your buds doesn't determine how much weight you lose. Just dry until the stem snaps. Hang them up on a sting in a dark room with plenty of air movement.
