just as any other, dry it well, and place into jars for a good slow curing ... open the jar for a few minutes, couple times a day ... if it gets too dry, just put a fan leaf, or piece of lettuce, lemon peel, etc., to restore a bit of moisture ... I usually cure for a month, before considering it 'ready' ... :smokin:

I should have added, place the jars in a cool, dark place while curing ... heat and light should be avoided in any storage situation ... reason for opening the jar, during curing, certain gases leach from the herb, and you need to let that gas escape periodically ... good luck :jointsmile:

i know you specifically said after....
but before harvest make sure you flush thoroughly ... stop adding nutes 10-14 days before harvest .... and experiement with adding black strap molasses to your plants

molasses helps the plant build mass, supposedly for denser buds, and it feeds beneficial micro-organisms in the soil ... chemist Stinky says it has something to do with carbon-base, but she's way over my head sometimes (I dont mind, I just try to look up her skirt when she does that :D) ... use the 'blackstrap non-sulfured' type, it will specify on the label ... :jointsmile:
