Get a hygrometer, aim for 4-7 days drying time, I like to dry at 40% RH. When you jar them, humidity in the jar should be 65%, and burped down to 55%. If it's >70% in the jar, leave them out for 12 hours, re-jar and check again.
I'm not sure if it's the best way, but I cured my last batch 2 months this way, I was very happy.

i like to hang em upside down in a cool dark place, no fan wit the humidity not to high and not to low, and then i clip off the buds wen there dry to the touch, put them in jars for a day then start opening the jars everyday and see how they feel, if there real damp ill take them out of the jar and lay them on paper for an hour or 2 then stick it back in the jar and repeat till im satisfied

Make sure you go with a decent hygrometer like the caliber III, it is worth the extra couple of bucks to ensure you are getting a proper reading.

Probably 1 week bare minimum before the smell starts coming back, it gets stinky after 3 weeks. You really see the full potential come around after ~3-4 weeks of curing. They definitely change visually and start to give off a strong smell. I noticed big improvement in potency and smoke quality as well.
IMO you will see big improvements in the first 8 weeks. The quality improves drastically every week up to a month, then it improves at half that pace the next month, and basically I found the difference after 3 months slightly better but not very much, and it was all gone by month 5.....
