A perfect number for me is 60 °F / 60% RH with passive airflow from carbon scrubber filters.

Generally speaking I'd say a good curing environment should be dark, cool, humid but not damp and you should have light passive airflow in the room/tent/closet w/e you choose.

A good general rule is 60-70 °F 50-65% RH.

If you want slow curing then definitely you want to shoot for 60% Humidity and 60 °F if possible..

Best things to avoid a quick dry with those RH ranges would be to not wet trim and turn those fans off. Run your exhaust fan/filter on low if you want indirect air movement. Multiple fans running even on low are a sure fire way to quick dry your harvest.

Man, I got super lazy with this last round I did, which were small plants I grew for seed; I hung them by branch segments on clothes hangers, in paper bags that were sealed at the top and simply put them in dark spaces on my heating vents which I only run at 65F(~18C).
The house smells great and it worked, but just going to make oil out of the plant matter after I collect the seeds.

Sorry, not actually helpful for the best quality. But then again, maybe I should cure it and try it

Tbh keep the exhaust fan running, but tape wet towels over the intakes and Monitor the humidity. Spray the towels as the dry to keep a steady humidity level.

As twenty8 stated, best bet is not to wet trim either, and always keep as much stem and branch on your plant intact. My first plant I wet trimmed and cut the branches of the plant.

The next time I hung the whole plant without wet trimming and it took nearly a week longer to dry in the same conditions.

It was 35% ambient last dry, but the moist towels kept the humidity around 55%.
