Can’t dry weed properly

Hi guys, im here because im on my 4th grow without one single success to show. I learned a lot through last grows mistakes but this time i felt like it shouldn’t be this bad… I just trashed an entire plant. So all was good during the grow, never had a really strong aroma near the plant which can say something, but around the house it always smell like strong weed..
anyways while drying my buds stay in 50-55 % Rh at 18 degrees Celsius during 10 days, most of them on the low side (51) but i never really cared too much because these hygrometers are always a little off, I didn’t check deeply everyday, i check in the values of the hygrometer, I still smell the hay smell so i would just leave them (was trying to be the most hands-free on this) i really can’t tell exactly but between day 7 to 10 the big buds were crispy hard. At the 10th day I let them inside boxes with an hygrometer for 24 hours to try to even the moisture levels but today when i open them it was reading 54%rh and the buds were still hard and with very hay smell… can you guys help me here ? Where am I falling here ? Can it be another reason but the drying conditions ? I feel like even with me being somewhat careless the conditions were not that bad, i was just trying to know when they were done by the smell but they never smell great…
Im kinda tired of this cause i see a lot of people with worse conditions and setups getting good results and i feel like I just can’t see whats missing.
Ive grown in coco using canna coco line, autoflowers, never had deficiencies or anything, just felt like aroma should be stronger than it was close to the plant..
Ill leave you one of the last photos i have of her.

Would you harvest this ?

Hello guys, would like to know your opinion on this, this is an autoflower almost at the 12th week since sprout, i was trying to let her go for a little more to help mature lower buds i feel like im cooking all the top buds, not really keen to harvest just half of it and I feel like I need a push to harvest it.

Low smell near plants

Hi guys, this girl is an autoflower frostbanger and is at 10th week since sprout, the thing is, i have 2 plants on the same tent that grew more than I expected, mid grow to control my high RH i decided to open the tent door since my dehumidifier is not doing the work alone.. even then they sit at around 60 RH… my problem is that now my house stinks and some neighbours have started to feel it too…
What leaves me wondering is that near the plants it doesnt smell as intense as it is on the rest of the house..
Is this normal ?
It’s my 3rd grow and the two first ones had a lot of mistakes and it end up not smelling great and low potency, and had similar issues, like smelling a lot around the house and not near the plants..
Im afraid im going through the same path again…

Hi guys, i probably know the answer to this but how much should i take off ? Im trimming every other day but still she always seem to need more. Im just afraid to take too much leaves off and stress her out, shes finishing 2nd week flower. It’s also hard to take her out of there without messing something up, so I end up never trimming too good on the far side.

Im also aware i should raise her a bit and will do it.
