I just chopped part of my plant off as only some colas we're ready. How do I dry them if my grow tent is still in use? Can I put them in a paper bag and leave it in the grow tent? Or should I move it somewhere else?
Need some help with drying

Hang to dry in a dark room, closet, etc. shoot for 60 degree f, 60% RH.

The average temp near where my tent is at is around 72-86F would that be okay? Also how would I hang it if I chopped the top part of a cola? Can I use a clip or something?

You want to hang out of any direct light, light air flow, 60°F/60%Humidity. Weigh the bud every day, when it stops losing weight put it in a jar to cure. No bags, fruit slices, freezer etc. when it stops losing weight its dry.

I hang from a clothes hanger with clips when needed, or sometimes just over a string line By the small branches. There’s no need to keep them near the tent, find a cooler dark area.

70° is going to dry too quickly, 86° will ruin it. Got to find someplace cool and dark for a couple days, 60°/60% or as near as possible.

Let's say a place like under my bed is somewhat cool how would I dry it that way?

Cooler would be better, even outdoors somewhere in shade. The first day it loses 25-30% weight and gradually slows down, slower is better, 60/60 is good. Its only one bud and you’ll probably use it before it cures but learn the right way now.

Try a box with a top that fits under the bed. Cut ventilation holes all around and run some string lines across the box so you can hang buds inside of it.

No bag
Hang in closet with small fan pointed at wall as long as there's airflow try dry slowly tho

Yeah for sure I check on them every few hours but they still dry nice and slow. Been drying for 10 days and still moist on the outside and smelling delicious XD
I would NOT hang them to dry in a high airflow area. I almost over dried a crop when I hung them in my grow tent.

No air flow for me. It makes em dry too quick
