dry it for 10-14 days then jar it. keep it airtight for a couple of months and then you've got cured budd.

where i am if i hung it for 10 days it would be so brittle and dry it would just crumble. ive got verry low humidity and awesome natural air cirulation 3 days drying is fine for where i am

you must be in the middle of a desert. dry three days then keep it airtight for a couple of months.

Cool, dark room w/good circulation (fan?)

It's my understanding that the object is to dry your buds as slowly as possible without allowing mold to form, then breathing it in a canning jar until the stems "snap" instead of bending, ripping, etc.
At that point, enough moisture has gone that mold shouldn't be an issue. This is for personal stash drying/storage.
Weed grown for the market is likely dried faster in most cases?

Ihave a flower and herb dryer and it will dry my entire harvest to perfction in 3 days. I let my pot cure for at least 2 weks in jars before smoking.
