I like to dry it in my tent hanging upside down whole plant all the leaves just chopped at the base. I dry it with some air movement and vent out the humidly if it gets past 55% better if temps are low to keep them terpene profiles in tact as they are volatile. Keep it out of direct light and away from heat. The curing part I do it in a jar, some ppl don't like it in a jar, but it has worked for me. Just have to ensure its got the right dryness to it or it will mold. Can use some humidly control products to avoid this. I think the mini Hydrometers are a great tool. I also turn a lot of my product into edibles and extracts so I'll toss it in the freezer as soon as its dry and skip the cure. I wrote out a massive cure answer on a question asked earlier today on how I do it. To save space here, I'll post the link growdiaries.com/grow-questions/43315-curing It may provide a better explanation that your looking for. Good Luck and Happy Curing!

15 days in a dark room. 30% umidity and 18c° temperature. Than put everything in a glass jar for a months. Remember, you need to check umidity in your glass jar every day, for the for the first two weeks, due to prevent molds. Have a nice experience 👽

My favorite way is to hang dry for about a week in a climate controlled area keeping the room about 70 degrees F. Then placing the trimmed dry buds in a glass jar that has been blacked out to prevent light during the cure I keep the lid closed and for the first week I open the jar about once a day and leave it open for about 15 minutes after that closing the lid then on the second week I open the jars two times that week letting them breath for about 15 minutes again each time the last week I leave the jar closed for the whole week. Then I break it down to its storage containers I keep one those moisture packs in the long term jars to help keep any mold at bay. I hope this helps and enjoy the hard work is done.

Best result is hard to say because all strain are different. In general you want a somewhat quick outer dry in the first 18-24 hrs. Temps in the 82-85f range with the humidity around 40-50% Then slow dry with the temps in the range of 66-72f range with the humidity around 50-55%. Curing you want to be temps at 60-65f with the humidity around 60%
