Use the last bud at bottom to hook stalk on string . Hang dry at room temps. in dark Till dry then remove bud from stem and start curing in jar.Depends on the thickness of the bud. You might need to hang 1-2 weeks till dry enough to jar up.In seven days you should be able to sample some. if dry enough. good luck.
