dry for 3-6 days outside in the tent but check each plant because some bud sites might be more dense and take a little longer to dry. I usually hang the entire plant for 3-6 days in a dark cool place and then trim it down and then put into jars and keep the jars open for a couple of hours the first few days to make sure all that extra moisture escapes and doesnt cause mold to grow. Then I keep the lid on and take it off every couple of days. The longer it cures the better the smoke and smell
