You can do either one, wichever you feel is the best option.
I like to dry in a two fase process, first i let em out in the sun for about 4 to 6 hours depending on heat, i will leave it for only 4h under a full blasting sun at 40°C, and then move em inside for 3 days, then repeat and after this repetition it is well dried in a candy like feeling, i just love it this way. Curing i will try to leave it in a colder environment in the dark inside a air tight container with a humidipak, temperatures being between 20 to 25C.
I like to point out that the organic material gets sort of fused with the thc when using this drying method, and therefore you prevent any cristals from sticking to your hands, falling in the baggie, sticking in the jar, being hard pressed into the grinder as you grind your weed. I just love it this way.
Hope it helps, best of luck.
If it does pleaze do help out by picking my answer as it will help it deeply in the grower of the month contest.
Thanks ;)
