Trial Run How Long Do you Think to Dry

So I am using a converted wine fridge I call "The Curearator" and currently doing a trial with a few early snips just to see the efficiency. It maintains a temperature between 59F & 62.5F, I have a small issue with humidity but it has been around 55RH for the most part. I'm doing a couple tral runs with it as it only can hold so much. However these came off the current grow I have going which I am just waiting a few more days on for some amber Trichomes. Currently they have mostly cloudy, but have not seen any darker ones. These were some of the buds I wanted off so the main colas get 100% of what they are taking in.
How long should it take to dry these to the point I can stick these examples into a Grove bag?
They have been in for 6 days so far.

Cool idea with that fridge. My stems snapped after 6 days so I cured it today. This is my first time so ita definitely trial and error. I hung mine in garage with just air circulating. We shall see. Those look good fyi. Goodluck with it all.

Thermoelectric wine cooler drying and curing - DIY

I had read about these for a while before trying, this is not by any means a new idea nor did I come up with the idea. I was tired of over drying and drying too quickly in the winter, then freaking out about mold in the summer. A google search will give lots of other ideas, but I get a lot of...

Hook Dayy, that is where I started, but the cooler I was able to get was a compressor run style, so I dealt with what I had. That Thermo electric unit has a lot more into it, as it needs a dehumidifier, fan, and a outside module to control everything. When I picked my unit up that was the original intention and I have everything on order. Then I discovered mine was a compressor version. So I started looking up things and found subject called Lotus Drying, pretty much a similar technique, where you just use a standard refridgerator and cardboard boxes or paper bags for drying the buds. I liked hanging branches and since I was able to find a way I created mine. So far it is working, what will happen on a full load is the mystery! Here is a picture. The one with clear glass was before I added a piece of limo tint for pure darkness. The paper hanging was to check my airflow from the small USB fan in the bottom, just the right amount. Been holding great temp humidity around 58% average now. The bigger main difference is that a Thermo Electric struggles some in a warmer area to maintain a cooler temp like 60 degrees, a compressor has no issues keeping it colder even in upper 70s and 80 degrees.
