For the newer growers. One of the most important steps in growing is your harvest,dry and cure. Take the time to do it right.
Remove as much leafy material. Set bud trim aside for hash or whatever
After I trim I hang to dry till they are just crispy to the touch on the very outside. From there, I like to sweat the stems. Using a ziplock put buds in for twelve hours then open, let buds dry again to crispy outside and repeat till they are no longer wet to the touch. Now they are ready for jars. Check every twelve hours and leave open if any moisture shows on the glass or dampness on the buds. Very few days I flip my jars into empty jars to get the bottom to the top. After a week or so, they can be checked daily the. Bi weekly, weekly. Always check them at least once a week and air them. Think of curing weed like wine in barrels. The longer they are in there, the better it gets.
Following this will, as Somebeech said. Smokes like fine wine with a donkey's kick
