After the buds are dry but the stems are still bendable, i put my buds in a jar. I open them twice a day(once in the morning, once at night), pour out the buds onto a news paper and spread them out. Ill let them sit there for about 5 or so minutes, then back into the jar.
After about a week, the buds should be almost totally crispy dry. At this point, you can seal them up. The longer it ages with no light, and cool temperatures, it will get better and better month after month.

I dry mine until I can snap a stem, then put the buds and fill up a quart mason jar about half way. I burp them by removing lid once per day for 5 minutes, then move the buds around some and go another 5 minutes. after 5 days I take them out and let them sit on a screen for about 15 minutes then back in the jars and burp once every 2 days for another week. After that it is cured enough to smoke, but whatever is left over stays in the jars and only gets burped once a week or so and then only for a few minutes. I have some Buds that are 2 years old and are pretty smooth smoking, but have lost some potency.
