If you’ve got the room somewhere else then you can just cut the main stem off at the bottom and hang it as 1 plant. This takes the longest to dry but if done rite will give you the best slow dry. Next you can cut and hang the individual branches which will dry a little faster with a lesser chance of messing it up. Or if your pressed for space you can purchase a drying rack and remove all the buds off the stems and dry in the racks. There usually about 2ft round in diameter and can have anywhere from 4-10 shelves. If your new to growing and not sure what your doing then the drying rack is the best option. It dries quicker so is a little less curable after dry but it reduces your chances of mold and such. You room should be a comfortable temp, not to hot or cold, mine sits usually around 20 Celsius. Key thing is Humidity, at this point it’s your arch nemesis. Lol you wanna try and keep it around 40%-50%, any higher and your asking for trouble. But any lower and your gonna dry it to quick. No light in the room at all except for when your checking on them too. The quicker methods should be around a week to dry, the full plant hang will take a bit longer, and humidity is absolutely crucial if you go that way. Dry till the smaller stems snap when you Try and bend them. Hope this helps. Cheers

I dry all my plants in the following manner. Cut and lightly wet trimmed into hooked branches. Hang @ 60-66f and 60-70% RH with a Air purifier running to move air. You want to dry it as slow as possible without molding it, low temps and high humidity work well for me, I've never had a mold issue. Most people will stick around 50% RH. Dry trim when stem-snap in the middle of the bud. Place into cure jars w/ Boveda 62% packs, Burp once a day for a week, and then thats it. Monitoring your RH. It should come up to 62% over a week. If it is over 62% allow to dry more.
