Or another method is to cut them and manicure them like so... then you place your herb spread out on a sterilite lid in the dark. You can chop up (I like doing with some while fresh for joints and such, then I also get scissor hash ) Or leave it it buds, which is good for pipes and bongs imho. Rotate your buds every other day and stir up your pile some. Again, youll know when its dry. Then again.... smoke or cure

Also, your looking for when about 70% of the stigmas are brown... least I do. :thumbsup:
