I put some rope through a cardboard box and use the rope to hang the colas from. No airflow or anything else , I close it up and leave it out in the living room for like 2 weeks . Should be just about right 😊 main idea is protecting the plants from light and wind to minimize deterioration/oxidization. Hope this helps ! 🔥🚀

When drying buds the goal is to slow dry but without getting any mold or fungus.. for that you need to create a good environment. That would be room temperature – Around 70°F (21°C) and 50% Humidity. Make it as dark as possible no lights at all and never leave under the sunlight. You could hang them on a shirt hanger in a room or a closet. Closets are only viable is theres GOOD air circulation or else you'll end up with rotten buds. Best way to go is in a room that has air flow and is as dark as possible. Fans aren't suggested because they dry the buds too fast and that results in a very bad quality. Although some people use small fans facing the walls just to make a bit of air circulation in the room. That's fine as long as the fan isn't waving the plants around or hitting them directly. I personally wouldn't use a fan unless it's very necessary. For a good dry it normally takes between 5-14 days depends on how much you trimmed off. After that I suggest you cure you buds for another 10-15 days at at least to have a higher quality final product. Good luck and happy harvest!

You should have fresh air circulating so that your buds don't grow any mold. It should be in the dark, RH from 50-60%. it should take 7-14 days to dry, any shorter and the smoke will be harsh, any more may cause rot/mold.
