Drying question

Well I had a great first grow. I harvested my crop today. Cut the the plant at the base and hung the whole thing in my closet. Will it dry ok like that? I want to save most of the leaves as well to make butter. My buds turned out awesome sticky and pungent. I dried a bud earlier this week on my food dehydrator. man it was potent. I tell you the best weed is free weed, grown from a bag seed. Lighting and water courtesy of mother nature. Thanks everybody for all the helpful advice. I'm already gearing up for my next outdoor grow. This time in The northwest.

It will take longer but that's old school and works just fine. You do need to move the air around but not directly on the buds. A temperature of 85f is just about perfect.

You do understand if you have cloths in there they will absorbe the odor of the plants?
