you dry them upside down for 2 weeks in a dark dry place. U hung each cola separately. After 2 weeks, when they r dry, u get rid most of the big stems making smaller buds and put them in airtight glass jars. Pack the loose in there. Use more than one. U keep the jars closed and u open them every day for about 6 hours. You keep doin that for 4 to 8 weeks. About 4-6 is ok. U can smoke some if u want, but keepin them in the jars that way (its calling curing), u get rid of the chlorophyl and you have the best taste.
