He Monkey, Normally 7-10 days @ around 50%RH... when I rhink it's done I try to break a stem, and if it cracks(noise) but is not breaking through, I take 'em out of the dry box and put it in jars. Where I open them on a daily basis for 15-20 min. Everything dark will do the job, but mate you have to have airflow, otherwise you can get Mold on your Buds. Hope this helps a bit, good luck! ✌️OimRausch

With a little luck it will be around 10-12 days. That's sort of the sweet spot for preserving Terps. If the RH is below 25%, I would leave the sugar leaves on when drying to increase the dry time.

Hello Friend, I can't provide a set timeline - it's a function of heat and humidity of the drying area as well as the product itself. I like to use a large storage closet that I can keep fairly dark, and maintain 70 to 75F with a humidity level of approximately 50-55%. I hang the buds including their stems upside down, and run a fan in the room for circulation, but not directly on the product. When the smaller stems break when you twist them, but the main stem still just bends, see if you can "pop" off a smaller bud with your thumb as if you were lightly clicking something; if it does then they're likely ready to start the cure. The drying process usually takes between one and three days for me. Cheers and Good Luck!
