Hello. Like I thought . A difference of opinion. Myself, I wet trim and let the branches hang for 2 or 3 days. Then I cut the buds in a paper bag about 2 to 3 inch's deep. This method dries and cures at the same time. I hang the bags on the same lines you just had your branches on. Let the bags hang for a week, NO peeking, then check. The bag may need to be rehung for a few days if you have dense buds. Dry to the way you like it. Then in to the mansion jars. The old hippies said- you got to put you drying buds inside a bushel of straw. There 's this gas that is released from the drying buds that cancel out the harshness of uncured buds. The paper bags do that, and they wick water away from the bud area the same as the straw. Good Luck. Chuck.

If you want a quick dry and cure do a wet trim, dry in a hanger in a closet in the dark until it feels like it will smoke. I then put it into a cooler close the lid and wait for it to rehydrate, about 40 minutes, this is sweating it. Now I open or take off the lid and let the top dry. I then move the bottom to the top every time the top has dried until it is all dried evenly to where you are able to smoke. Jar it up and open the jars every day or 2 for a week. Then it is storable. Cheers friend

In the peak of the summer i actually put mine under the full blast mid day sun, it works wonders but don't trust me on this one, no evidence besides of my perceived experience. I like it, you may not, so just follow recomened drying process.

Hang it with stem attached for full flavour and let dry in 20° to 25° for a week at 40rh to 50 rh, then cure at 59 to 62rh for a month. If you like compact nugs leave them fot 3 to 4 hours in 40°C and then squeeze a bit so it glues completely and then back in the drying, those will become some hard candy like buds, pretty satisfying to smoke and grind.
