How long to dry auto buds?

The drying process takes a minimum of 7 days to dry but it might extend longer. To find out whether the stems are completely dry, snap the stems. If they snap right away, go ahead and cure them. But, if the stems don’t snap and are still soft, let them dry for a few more days. Remember that slow drying will help preserve the smell, flavor, and cannabinoids in your flowers. So basically, slow drying will result in better flavor, aroma, and high while fast-drying will give your buds hay or plant-like flavor and harm potency.
