hang dry in a cool, dark, dry place for ~7 days or until stems snap when you bend them

curing is highly dependent on your taste.. some ppl dont.. some cure a week.. .some cure for months

put your bud in a mason jar to keep stored in a similair place that you would dry in and open it up for about 10 min every day for a little air exchange... a week is the standard minimum cure time, it will make a huge difference
