I think your on the right track, maybe just speeding up the process with the fan. If you let it air on its own im sure some people will say it tastes better but from what i've learned, the general idea is too get the outside crispy then cure.
You read this? Have a look at the manicuring and curing process on page 3 - https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/937-how-grow-marijuana-3.html

you will find that with a fan blowing on it after a couple of days the outside will be flaky and alling apart an the inside will be gooey and wet. the idea of curing is to slow down the drying process as much as possible. if you put your weed in a jar while it has a high moisture content it will need burping more often and will be prone to go mouldy fast.
you dont want to ruin the good work you put into that lovely plant, slower is better, you want it to hang for at least 4-5 days before you jar it, i would say kill the fan asap.

What should i do then? i thought thats what i wanted the outside to dry and the inside to be wet so i can cure in my jars mate???????

I'd leave it hung like it is but take the fan out. You want it to dry pretty slow and wait until the stems snap easily and not bend before you even think about putting it in the jars. If you put it in too early it can fuck it right up, it'll have that wet grass/hay kinda smell to it and what ever you do it won't go away. Drying it properly is as important as growing properly. It would be a real choker to fuck up such an awesome plant. Its better for it to dry in the dark as well.
I wish i'd watched this grow from the start but Las only mentioned it the other day on his thread

You want good circulation, but don't aim the fan directly at the buds. He's right, it will overdry the outside and lock chlorophyl in those leaves, the rest would cure fine, but we want perfect product. Gentle breeze is your goal, keep humidity at 55% for the first two-three days, then start to reduce it. The first few days you want to keep the plant tissue alive so that metabolic processes continue...

keep the fan in there, just aim it down low so you you get a gentle indirect breeze.

yeah as osc said i've "hayed" my draw a few times from being not so careful in puting it in the jars damp. normally about 5 days in the dry box then in the jars but checking regularly even puling it all out the jars and put it in a shoe box for half a day or so before putting back into the jars if need be.

Crackin job pukka, like the trim job as well. Can't remember what my guess was but after seeing them all trimmed up I'm going to say 6.9 oz! I was thinking in terms of that robinsons bottle, I'm supping on one of them right now so got a fairly good idea of how big they are.

You really have outdone yourself mate, and in about a week you will be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour ;) how'd that scissor hash go for ya?

the way i do it is like this always works, just have a fan blowing in the same room as they drying, so u have air circulating, but do not face the fan on the buds, put the fan other end of the room and face it any where but not on the buds and put the speed on low
