Yeah its crucial... but its pretty simple. As long as you dry them in a dark, cool, well ventilated place until the outside of the buds are dry... and then put them in air tight containers (in the same conditions) and open each container every day for a few weeks or until the buds have dried evenly and no longer smell like Chlorophyll, then everything will be fine.

Well I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do then. They won't taste nearly as good if you don't cure... but it shouldn't be too bad. Good luck anyway.

airtight jar + wet weed = mold
give it the first 3 days at least hanging upside down in the dark, then if you have to use some cfl lights on em 24 hours for a quick 3 or 4 day drying time. If you don't dry it properly, it will make you cough up a lung and taste like wet grass but you'll still get baked... not as baked, but close to.

Better yet, hang in upside down in the dark for 6 days, buy a 40$ dehydrator and finish it in likr 6 hours in the dehidrator, I think that would be your best bet. You want to dehydrate the leaves anyways to make bud butter or oil or whatever you please/

it will still be too wet for jars in 7 days in the dark. They will be moldy in a few days after you jar them.

I often jar mine after 7 days. Never have a problem. But I do open the jars for a few hours daily for the first week of being in the jars.
