I've never grown before, so I have no idea what I'm doing. I planted seeds that I had sprouted to around 5" in like mid-May, and just kinda let them do thier thing. They're now about 5 feet and I think some are starting to bud. How long do I wait after I get rid of the males to start picking buds (I'm in central NC if that makes a diff.)? I also need help with pretty much everyhting else after that, I have no idea how to dry or for how long or if I can dry the leaves also. Help me!
When do I pick?

You have no idea what you're doing, but you have 5 foot plants. I would say that you're doing something right.
The main thing is that you are learning by doing! And every crop you grow will be better.
They should be just starting to show flowers, so you'll want to watch for the males, they usually show first. The males will be your biggest, strongest, best-looking, best-chance-for-a-big-yield plants, and you'll hate to cut them. But you'll want to get them out of the area fast. A good way is to just cover the whole plant with a trash bag, then cut the base at ground level, and remove.
Once the males are gone, and the females are starting to show flowers, they will probably be ripe in 6-10 weeks.
