First harvest, how should I dry and store my leaves for butter/hash? (Bud porn ahead)

My very first plant harvested, awe isn't that sweet. She was a beast! I might be looking at 3oz dry when all is said and done, which is awesome. There's more bud not shown in the picture lol. Strain is Permafrost. What should I do with all my trimmings? I want to use them up. Should I keep them in a grocery paper bag and shake em up a couple times a day while letting some air in? Not sure what to do in order to make the best of them. Thanks for any advice! (Last pic is a sample that has been drying for 8 days)

I hate to be "that guy" but this is a very rare third bump. Maybe the right person will see this thread. All I am asking is how do you guys store and dry your leaves after harvest lol.

I wish I could help you but I'm a noob myself, I'm currently trying to coax my first harvest to frost up more.

Maybe you could try reposting your question in the newbie forum, or the harvest and curing one? You're bound to get an answer in one of those.

And yes, she's a beast. You lucky lucky bastard!! Well done :)

As an afterthought, I think you can store them in a sterilised jar, as you would with the bud. Open the lid every couple of hours to let out moisture, etc.... Then use when needed.

I just lay them on top of paper towels on the ground and have air circulating in the room, in 2-4 days they are crispy and ready to be ground and made into butter. Leaves have a huge surface area to volume ratio so they dry rather quickly and can be dried easily using simple methods.
