Best ways to dry and cure

I dry in the same area as I grow, so it is well ventilated and humidity controlled. Big advantage is also carbon filter and ventilation system that keeps the smell inside.

I trim wet buds (big discussion of pros and cons of wet and dry trimming is here) and leave them on branches 40 - 50 cm long. The goal is to have them not dry too much quickly. Usually it takes about 7 days till stems are dry enough to break. You can have longer time by cutting longer branches and vice versa.

Then I strip buds from the stems and put them into jars (or plastic tupperware). This is curing phase, again the point is to dry them slow. From the start when they have a lot o humidity inside I vent jars few times every day. At the end it is only once per day. This phase can take another 7-10 days. The slower the better.
