Forget the cardboard box. I trim all the leaf material off that I can. The small sugar leaves that are covered in trichs get saved for hash. All other trim is thrown away. I hang in a dark space that has air circulation. Light degrades THC. When the bud is dry, I cut the buds off the stems and put into mason jars and store in a cool dark space (or sleeve the jars). Open them several times a day to get rid of residual moisture. As the buds get dryer, you can open the jars less. When dry to your liking, leave to cure for several weeks.
