20 ok thanks a lot to hang my string do you have to room to do it or are you lookin for somthing that can be put in a dark closet because if you look for somthing that u can put in a closet i got what u need just take a box make to retangle cuts on each of the handle sides then add as mean hold you as u can then string some wire or what ever u got thru some holes that u have made going across to both rectangle cut out then tape down one of the sides make sure its tight then do the same with the other side then when hanging then just pull a part of the bud where it can be hung and so on how this helps sorry of theres some misktake i am a shitty speller
 
I get what you mean I've done that I'm looking for something that will keep as much weight on the buds as possible like tricks and stuff I know there is because when I dry my buds they come out like 2/3 or less to what my friends comes out . Except he moved away so now I don't know what he did to keep them heavier ugh

you probably won't find a cure method that will give you more weight
idea with curing is to slow dry to an optimal moisture, too heavy(i.e. moist) and you will get mold
your grow will determine your weight, cure not so much

His buds are probably just denser. There are no magical tricks or gimmicks to add weight during the drying and curing process.

Dry is dry man, can't make it heavier by drying. You will lose 3/4 of your wet weight everytime. Trichs don't disappear with drying. Sounds like you need a better strain or better grow setup to get denser buds.
 
Hhhmmmmm thanks everybody . This is a new strain I'm trying out and its already better than the last ... Last grow was "white widow" and they weren't real white widow seeds . Got em from a friend last time this time from a reliable jillybean grower . The plant is vegging and it stinks so good! Lol :) . New to growing but I've studied a lot and seen people grow and helped them so yeah . Thanks

When i harvest i hang my buds up in a dark room with a fan circulating in the room for about 3-4 days, then i cure them in a air tight container, allowing 10 minutes of air to get to then each day, as each days passes the bud gets nicer. As for trying to keep weight on it i don't think there is a method. Peace out.
