You want to hang in dark, to stop the photosynthesis. chlorophyll is bad... A slow controlled dry, air needs to be refreshed and circulated. So IN DARK, you don't want to speed up the drying process.
dry it to were a medium size branch kinda snaps, instead of bending. the cut to bud size and put in those plastic grocery bags, do not close plastic bag. place inside a large paper grocery bag, Roll the bag close,but leave some space, DO NOT roll bag all the way down to buds!!!
put in dry, dark place and check periodically. Upon opening put nose in bag and smell, you want sweetness or floral not grassy. then gently feel texture of bud. just to gage its density(optional) before you roll bag up gently shake the buds to kinda stir em up so they will dry/cure evenly.
Each time you open the bag you will notice a difference, sometimes the smell will get stanky then mellow out, maybe go neutral till you finger the bud.
Don't over crowd the buds but, I always get a better cure if you have a good amount of them together.
depend on size of buds, a few days is usually enough, if you hang dried properly.
Then go to glass jars, check daily, burp em. if you think they still have moisture in them, leave jar open an hour or so, then repeat. ALWAYS in the DARK
You will find what works for you, and your ENVIORMENT. that is part of the key... its different for everybody...
