while there is several ways of drying bud if your interested in the bag method this is how ive always done it, after cutting the plant, manicure and remove the buds and then place buds straight in to a paper bag and open the bag atleast once a day to allow them to breath then reclose the bag and continue to do this until its dry enough to smoke, so take samples occasionaly might only take a few days could take longer like up to a week once it is dry then I strip the buds off the stem and put them straight into a ziplock and your done.
the main difference that I see from what others have posted is I dont hang mine for a couple of days.
