my first harvest due

Im gonna be chopping my liberty haze saturday and was wonder when drying in the tent should I run string in a cupboard box and hang them like that or is it ok to tie string to the tents poles and have them hanging like that?
Also I cant find one answer but what temp should I be trying to keep as a rough guide?

Also is there anything I can do to use the lower down airry buds? Im not sure on how to make hash which is ashame as I love it prehaps is a guide somewhere?
Also do people make resisin balls just from scrapping off whats collected up on the sisscors?sorry for spelling its just slipped my mind.

The most important thing is that there are proper temperature and humidity levels inside your 'drying space'.
You also need a good airflow (not on the buds but around the room to move air).

You can use either method you asked about.

A temperature anywhere from 19-23 degrees Celcius (66-73 Fahrenheit) is acceptable.
RH should be around 45% - 55% to allow for a steady dry.

It's very simple to make hash.
Just buy some dry ice, make a box with a fine net at one end (anywhere from 90-160 microns depending on the quality you want).
The put in some trim and popcorn nugs (fill the container halfway, and fill with dry ice so there is around 20% air in the box) and then you simply shake the 'net end' of the box on to a table or the like and gather up the kief afterwards.

It's very simple and very inexpensive.
That's just one way of doing it, there are tons of other ways (bubblebags, iso hash, bho hash etc.)

That's called scissorhash, most people gather that up yes, and smoke it

Sorry to threadjack, but seems you are familiar with perfect drying so could you answer, how good would be bud, hangdried 2 weeks in about 15-16c temperature
with about 65% humidity? Would it bee too dry and the cure - ruined? Also the air movement is very little but enough to get mold out of the picture.

It's a pretty low temperature but it might be doable.
The RH is more of a problem. 65% is quite high and will make it a slow dry, not that slow drying is bad (it's better than fast drying) but it still might take quite a while before you can cure.
You should have a fan in there for sure, or some way to circulate the air around.
Because with freshly harvested weed (around 75% water) and 65% RH you might end up with a 70+% RH which could really cause a lot of problems (mold in particular).

i wouldnt say dry ice is inexpensive, the cheaper option is to fully dry out the buds (where they would fall apart with a squeeze) then freeze them. you can then get a silkscreen and crush up your frozen buds onto it and tap the crystals through untill you have a nice pile of thc. then you can cook or press it

God bless the internet is be so lost without it. I feel confident now I know I can get my tent to those temps and humidity .

Does the fan need to be a moving fan or will just a clip on fan pointing away from the buds be ok? Only ask because ive got both but moving fan is bigger so may me it too cold in there.

Yes, the non-oscillating fan will be better. You don't want it hitting the buds anyways. Just enough to stave off stale air.

Im gonna hang my buds within the tent then have the clip on fan below them. Should I have it sitting on the floor in the middle of my tent facing a side of the tent. Or have it clipped on at the bottom just blowing into the opposite corner? Ill have my dads friends whos done alot of grows popping up durring the week im drying so he can help me and his always a phone call a way should I be worrying

here it is

A diagonal air circulation would do fine.
Just make sure you can move the air around, it doesn't really matter which direction.
