@lezhonka, don't dry them that way. You need to cut the stalk away from the roots. Your rootball is just going to rot and could cause moldy buds. My suggestion is to follow years of experienced growers drying buds, which is to cut the stalks off, trim off big fan leaves, and any yellow leaves, then hang upside down in a pitch dark area at 70f (or 21c). There should be light air movement but no fan blowing directly on buds. You also need to lower humidity to 45-55. With these numbers they should hang about 6-7 days, but keep checking them for mold or bud rot, and check for dryness. Multiple videos available on YouTube on this. If you can't get temp down to 70f/21c, then you will probably just dry for 3 days, then do what I have to do which is put them in a paper bag for 3 days or so, opening and moving them around every day. After they are dry, trim how you like and put into mason jars. Keep stems on buds you want to save for longer periods of time. Cure them by opening jars every day for 15 min for 3-6 weeks. After that put some boveda packs in there with your buds to store for longevity. Also, keep them away from grow light or sun, that breaks down the thc. Good luck!
