hang it out to dry in a dark place with fresh air for 4 to 7 days untill the stems snap. the main stem might take a little longer to dry. take the fans off and any leaves left. then put it in a jar for curing, watch it close at this time to make sure it dosnt mold. burp the jar twice a day for a few minutes. when it starts to get dryer once a day is fine. when your sure its dry but not too dry, you dont want it to crumble. seal the jar and leave it sit for at least a week in a dark cool place, not the fridge. it would be better to cure it at least 2 weeks but i can tell you want to smoke up. hope this helps. good luck.

cut the large fan leaves off and maybe a few of the long grassy looking leaves 1st. then hang it for 3-5days (depending on your drying area) then Jar it and keep a close eye on it the 1st week Burping jar once a day then after 2nd week once or twice a week... after 1 month.. you should have bomb. ITs like wine.. my indica smoked great after 3 days of hanging..like REALLY great..makes me wonder how good itll be in two - three weeks

nah no box needed. hang it in a dark area for the 1st 3-4 days.. when its crispy to the touch and doesnt seem GREEN FLESHY put it in a jar.. and leave it open for a few hours a day to let out moisture

yeah, just hang it. no bag needed. it needs fresh air, like a fan blowing, but not directly on it. you can pick the fans off before drying too.

loosly fill your jar, dont pack it so full that you crush everything.

yeah, thats ok place in the closet. do you have a little fan you could put in there? to keep the air moving. i wouldnt put the leaves in the jar, no. use them for hash, if you do that. or toss them.
