I've done it this way all my life-slow drying first then jar curing seems to work well.I hang the plant for 3 days, then I trim the buds into paper bags to finish drying for one to two weeks depending on the buds and the conditions.
What you're actually doing in the bags is slow drying, rather than curing. There are a few guys on here who will argue that a slow dry is better than curing, but I've had best results doing both.
You shouldn't put more than one layer of buds in a bag unless they're pretty dry already, otherwise you have a high chance of mold, usually the white fluffy kind. You won't save too much space using bags instead of jars anyway, and it'll have to go into the jars eventually for storage.
I meant dry. I am hanging it for a few days 5 to 6 and paper bagging it for a few days. I think 5 to 7 days.You can dry in a paper bag but you can't cure.
Yes, this and Kovidkoughs post is what seems best for me. But the humidity here is good for growing. But not for drying and curing. So I have to adapt to my climate.I hang the plant for 3 days, then I trim the buds into paper bags to finish drying for one to two weeks depending on the buds and the conditions.

that extra humidity might help prevent a quick dry. consider it sort of a blessing , unless its always like 100 hahaYes, this and Kovidkoughs post is what seems best for me. But the humidity here is good for growing. But not for drying and curing. So I have to adapt to my climate.
