thanks for the props homies. JG- i am so glad you are back. Your help has been very appreciated. The curing process is new to me: So when it's done, i just throw it (the whole plant, in the pot) into a dark room for a few days, then cut it at the base, then hang it for a week, then trim it, then once trimmed and dry, i can throw it into the fridge or i leave it out and "burp" it a few times a day til no more moisture, then store it in the fridge?

or after its done could i just cut it up and dry it already trimmed? Seems like itll dry a lot faster that way, and whats the reasoning behind leaving it whole still in the dirt in the dark for a few days?
