im gonna let you in on a secret method not often used... about 2 weeks before planed harvest stop giving them water or nutes for 3-4 weeks and they will dry out by them selfs and cure them selfs.... make sure not to give them anything though you want them to die... you will end up with some very very enjoyable smoke more then most

or week before harvest flush with water then 48hours darkness then 1hour light and cut them hang and let dry for 7 days at 70 degrees in the dark or till the stem snaps and not bends, put in a jar 3/4 full and open every time you see sweat for a little then you can just leave em jared for awile

:bong:Hello there 420 friend I'll give you some advise that I do when I dry my plants. I hang them upside down in a dark room with air cond. running for about 4 days misting them with water.Then curring them in an air tight container. Smokes real smooth.And taste sweet.:bongin:Keep on smokin........Good luck

Ive never heard of misting with water like thug sais, seems like a moldy idea.

I hang mine untill slightly crispy, then slow dry them, in jars(in the dark) being sure to "burp" the jars every day or two for the first week.

Its not going to cure until its in a air tight container.

Spraying water on cut buds is a recipe for mold.
