Just hang them by the stems upside down. fan blowing wont realy make a difference. you trim them up first?

I usually cut mine and hang for about a week with a fan blowing inside the room (not directly on the plants). After a week or 10 days the stems should snap cleanly. NOW it's time to cure. Put them in a sealed container ( I use a large tupperware container) and "burp" the container once a day to change the air. After 2 months or so your ladies ought to be cured nicely. If you want something to smoke before that you can always use a food dehydrator which you can get at Walmart for about 50-60 bucks.

Good Luck

I heard plastic containers should be avoided. Don't remember the specific reason but I have read it a few times. I put mine in glass jars. Mason till I run out then baby food jars. Jam jars, spag sauce jars. Love those baked bean jars. WASH OUT......LMAO

Damn WW....NOW I remember where I put the last little bit of my stash from the last grow..........it's right next to the Bush's baked beans in my pantry! I thought my friends were acting a little strange after our Memorial Day cookout!

I sure use a fan. Always have. It helps insure against mold beginning to grow. Also, IMO a cool, dark area is the preferred environment.
