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

It may provide a better explanation that your looking for.
Good Luck and Happy Curing!
