Roughly, 5-8 days with a wet trimmed plant or 7-14 days dry trimmed.
Really depends on foliage thickness,density,moisture content during chop ect.

Yep. I trim all the fan leaves, leave most everything with trichs, and cut nugs off stems in 6-8 days, with same environment.

Are you talking curing or drying? drying in Oregon right now takes time... expecting 3 inches of rain between Saturday through Sunday. Better have them in a nice dry place.
Curing is after you jar... a month or two in the jars is the actual "curing" Be sure to open the jars every day for half hour or so.

3 inches of rain ? just cause i live in oregon dont mean im on the west side. Plants were grown indoor and have been hanging since monday. Going to jar it up tonight seems dry to the touch but not crunchy dry have some of those humidity packs to put in hars as well. Seems like it dried out faster than i would have liked.

Dry until the stems snap when you bend them. What you think is dry now is probably too wet to jar without watching closely. I'll wager that if you jar them today, within 2 hours they will be soft and moist and will have water on the inside of the jars, which is OK as long as you dump them out into a paper bag for additional drying.
Try it, you'll see.

I cut mine off the stem into a 3.5 Rubbermaid tote. Tote will hold enough air to pull the moisture out of the buds. I can fluff the buds around to feel how wet they are decide to leave the top on or off. I can judge the moisture better than when in a jar. I don't use humidity packs, probably need to. Start with a really clean tote!
