If someone already said this I'm sorry. I found the best method for drying and curing is as follows:

After you have harvested, hang the buds upside down in a cardboard box that has strings attached. Put a few holes for air and presto. A dark, cool place you can put just about anywhere. I'd leave them to dry in there for a week. Every other day, if you take them out and very gently compress the buds along with the grain, essentially making them more dense, rather than fat and fluffy. After a week, PUT THE BUD IN MASON JARS! Leave it there for another week 1/2 to 2 weeks, opening occasionally to allow them to breathe. The Jars are by far the best method I've used, or heard of anyone else using. They are fairly inexpensive as well.

After I complete drying and curing will I get Rating: 5
