I'm on the same side that Reaper is... I have jsut finished a month of slow curing and it looks awesome. I dry for 1-2 weeks until the stem snaps (not bends), then put in an airtight mason jar for th eremainder of the month. Open at least 2-3 times a day for a few minutes and you will be handsomely rewarded approx 1 month after harvest.
