dry hanging up from a string for 3 - 5 days till outer surface of buds feel a bit crispy... then... put the buds into a mason jar and close the lid! every 12 hours open the mason jar with buds for an hour to allow the moisture inside the jar to escape... after an hour of being open, close the jar again for another 12 hours then after 12 hours of being closed open the jar for an hour again, let moisture escape from jar and repeat this process till your happy with the result of your bud. usually it is ready to smoke when the stems on the buds snap if they bend they are not quite ready! there is no real quick way to properly dry/cure your buds! you spent so much time waiting to harvest so whats another 2 - 3 weeks to dry and cure for premium smoke and heady taste!
