Help w/ Drying and curing!!!

hey, whats happenin. I have dried and cured 2 of my 10 plants so far but wasnt too impressed. My plants are about 65 days into flowering and are all about 2-3 feet tall. Since they arnt that big a friend told me to cut the entire plant and hang it up and dry. My first plant was nice but the stems didnt snap like they were supposed to. I just trimmed another that was hanging for 7 days because i was goin to wait till the stems snapped. The buds on this one are way too dry. I almost dont think it will cure because there is no moisture. ........Should i cut the plant by just the stems and then hang em to dry? ( so they wont get so dried out but the stems will still snap? Any suggestions helps. Thanks peace

Trim before after actually hanging, and just pulling a plant and hanging the whole thing is generally frowned upon as it retains more of the moisture from the main stalk and roots. After only seven days, depending on the humidity where you are, there should still be plenty of moisture trapped in the buds for a good cure. Just be sure to look for mold once they are in the jars. Although they may feel dry, or even overdry, there is most likely still moisture deep inside the buds that will creep out during the curing process.
