indoor curing

I have been hanging my plants in a large cardboard box with a boxfan on very low speed on top, 75F' 35% humidity. They have been drying out in 3 days. I then put them in a mason's jar and open the jar for about 10 mins a day for about 7 days. I am always looking for a better way, any improvements?

Not that it's better....just a bit different...I use a large tote, install a 120mm pc fan in one end, drill holes in the other, hang a wire grid inside...hang my harvested plants in the tote for 4-8 days...I exhaust my drying tote into my grow tent to handle the odor through the char can of the tent....When I jar, I check often the first day to check re-moisturizing...if too wet, nuggs go to a paper sack till moisture is to my preference....back to jar.....I only vape so I prefer my nuggs a bit drier.....

i would make sure that the fan is pulling air out of the box as opposed to pushing air in the box as an improvement on THAT method. I hang-dry mine in a closed off room like a closet or slightly bigger, complete dark for anywhere from 4-6 days. Til the stems almost snap. I dont wait for the full snap. And after that its into a jar in the same complete dark room. Next day, I open up the jar, spread out on paper towel for a couple to a few hours in same dark room, re jar and then burp for 15-25 minutes, 3-5 times a day. The burping becomes less and less over the course of 3-4 weeeks.
 
I have cut vents in the bottom of the box and the airflow is blowing downward into the box, escaping out of the vents on the bottom.
