Im new to growing and Im growing auto. The growing part is going great, my issue is now the drying due to my RH%. I would use my tent to have this controlled but I have an active plants in there and one of them is about 4-6 weeks away from the other. The other two will be ready in two more weeks.

My grow room that my tent is in sits at a temperature of 68-70 and the RH is 35%. I've had no luck is raising the humidity with a humidifier. Im wondering is there another way or method that I can use. Could i cut the whole plant, section it so I can hang it in the room and leave the leaves on. Would that meet the requirements. Or could I use a Knott Box?

If I read correctly you are drying in a separate tent? If so then: seal your tent, put in a bunch of flat baking sheets filled with water, use a humidity controller to exhaust when RH hits 55. That's what I'm doing right now, RH in the tent peaks at 55 ish, outside is around 40.

I have had luck with alternating between hanging and bagging to slow down the dry. Just need to be attentive because over drying can happen pretty fast when they start getting close to jar time.

If you don't have another tent, you can get an upholstery box at Uhaul and make a drying box. It comes with a hanging rod that fits right in the box. You'll need some ventilation to keep air flowing through and watch your rh real closely until you figure out how to balance the rh.

I'm in the same boat here this grow and I'm going to try hanging plant hole. And/or drying in paper bags.
