Methods of Drying and Curing

I'm about to harvest and I'm trying to decide how I'm going to dry and cure. Just wondering how most people do it.

If you use a paper sack, where does that come into play?

i pull off fans and dry...........then do a trim........dry more............then crew cut and jar. depends on RH, weather, etc.

I like to trim buds leaving them on the branch. Hang and dry. Retrim what is needed and nug them into jars. Cure for atleast 2 weeks.

There are many ways to dry and cure that turn out a real nice smoke. I believe that the key is that you don't hurry the process. Personally I trim the branch and then hang the branch for 3 to 4 days to disipate a lot of the moisture. Then I put it in a jar and finish the drying and curing by leaving the top open on the jar and closing it for a hour a couple times a day. I do this for a couple days then cover and open for a hr a couple times a day.So I reverse the process.Once it is how I prefer it I will open it maybe once a day.Most processes people use work as long as you don't rush it.

Thanks for the info... I'll probably trim first and then hang up the branches/nugs to dry. I just want to avoid that dead rotten plant smell after harvest.

I find paper sacks useful for trimming. First I cut down to a big main stem. Then I batter the Mrs unconscious with it, put a paper bag over her head and can finally get on with trimming in peace

I start from bottom up trimming the branches but leaving them still a good length size, cut all the fan leaves.... then sugar/water leaf trim, hang dry in dark dry area with good air movement until the stem snaps, trim off the main stems and jar.... cure until they meet my standards/taste pref.
