Its best to dry in a cool dark area for at least 3-4 days then dry some more. I trim then hang in a cool dark area till it feels dry to the touch. Then I put it in a brown paper bag for a day or two. Then to double plastic bags or jars. If it starts to get moist at all, I put it back in the brown bag for another day. Then back to the jars or plastic bags. Then keep a close eye on it so it does not get moist again. If it gets moist again the smell and taste is gone forever. If its good smoke it will still get you high but the taste and smell will be gone. Drying takes about 4-5 days when its hot and curing can take months. Depending on strain and the finished quality you want! You can usually smoke some after it feels dry to the touch but it wont burn the best till its dry. Good luck and enjoy!
