Sounds like a nice group of ladies there, anywayz i guess everyones got their ways so heres what i am doing [im close to harvest myself]...i just cut each bud off and hung them upside down somewhere dark/dry/ and ventilated. {also i save the frosted looking leaves to make tea with later}. I dry for about a week then i see they are nice and dry i throw em in air tight jars to cure for, well that varys but usually at least 2 weeks, obviously opening it for 1/2 hour the first week in the morning and at night to make sure it doest mold....ive seen a couple different ways of haresting/curing tho
