Suggestions for a coffee roaster beginner

Hi!I started roasting coffee in a home roaster machine. I was in a coffee roastery to learn something about roasting and I read some blogs of coffee roasters... Now I am doing this: 1)Heat up to 440F 2)Throw coffee inside,it goes down to 390F, I saw in videos that normaly goes down to 350F but I imagine that it depends on how much coffee you throw.So I dont know if I have to reduce more the temperature to start. 3)keep temperature around 390-440 and when I listen the second crack I take out and I cool it Ah!I am roasting honduras Volcan oro coffee Problems: I cant listen the first crack I feel like the coffee is too much roast when I grind it, its not very aromatic I have too much things to improve so if you have any suggestion it will be grate! Thank you!!!
