I wait until its crispy on the outside and bag it for 3-5 days then into jars ive found that once you pull it from the bags it has drawn the moisture from the inner part of the buds out through the bud stabilizing it making it perfect for jars.

Ok didn't answer all ? Is it a 2 week in a closet upside down like I hear or not? Guess I should say how long before done and when i can tell first year grower help hear please.

There is no set time each persons area they use to dry are of different sizes humidity etc hang the buds up or buy a hanging multi tiered screen once the buds are crispy place in bags don't go all scientist  this is stupid simple ive never lost a bud to mold neither will you .

exactly, It can be done successfully a lot of different ways, its just what works for you.

I would do my best to keep it around 50% humidity though.

The winter can dry your stuff to fast if your not careful

heres a simple video, it may explain some stuff to you

 

 

at 6minutes in he talks about curing.

 

i dunno if its accurate or the best, but drying buds is like waiting for fruit to ripen.

you have to know what the "fruit" feels like.

bone dry? or springy?

whats best?

 

its like asking us when your banana will ripen on your kitchen table.

or how long it takes your tomatoes to ripen on the vine.

 

its nature, we cant tell you specifics.

depends on plant humidity, air humidity, plant genetics, flower structure.

air flow. so many variables.
