1 Cut down branch by branch (just after lights came on ) 2 snip of all big leaves and leaves without sugar . 3 slow dry over period of 1-2 weeks without added air ,light or dehumidifier 4 after drying snip off all sugar leaves and keep them for later 5 store buds in glass jars for curing , you should smoke everyday from it to taste and experience the flavor and smoke changing , sometimes it gets better and sometimes it gets worse (believe me ) in a sence of it dous get rid of the green grassy flavor but also loses sharpness of some terpenes Dont just store , store and smoke

You look about a week or two from done. Easy way cut in sections and put on hangers. Ideal temperature is 60°F. Under 65 humidity above 50. Keep in dark. 7 to 10 days roughly. When smaller stems crack when bent it is ready to jar and cure. Keep in dark always. Open lid daily first week. Every other 2nd week. Once every few 3rd week. Etc.

I use my spare bathroom to dry. The small area is easy to control environment. Keep humidity around 40% and don't let fans blow directly on plants. When smallest twigs snap I trim and jar. Use glass jars with a felt pad meant for chair bottoms stuck to lid and wet with water if humidity drops below 55%. Burp jars once or twice a day for the first 2 weeks and less after that. If humidity rises above 65%, put contents of jar in a bowl and air them out for half hour. Trust me... it gets easier every time. Good luck fellow growers.

Keep checking your trichomes like you are already doing and dont jump the gun, it can get really exciting when they are close Order one of these to hang your plants from https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07BJXRZFP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 Decide of you want to wet or dry trim. If you have big dense buds I recommend the wet trim, if they are smaller do the dry trim. you dont want them to dry to fast! Never have fans directly on the plants but have air movement in the drying area. When you can cleaning snap the smaller stems it is done drying. They will feel very dry at this point. Get some humidity packs at 62% Get some glass jars. Make sure you are not stuffing one jar full, you want them have to have some space, I usually only fill 3/4 of the way. Get a mini hygrometer these will help with monitoring the humidity in the jar, You want to hold 62% burping helps get the moisture out until the jar holds the 62% https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07TKHCB5N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Once my jars are holding 62% plus or minus some make sure they are in a dark cool area and let them sit for awhile to cure. I usually leave mine for a minimum of a month.
