Just wondering when its time to dry your ladies how do YOU hang them? Cut all your branches off seperately or just hang the whole damn thing?

Also if you could answer these as well it would be awesome!

-how long do YOU hang dry?
-how long do YOU cure in jars for?
-how long and often do YOU open them?

+rep available! lol

take your time and split the buds up and theyll dry in like a week and then the rest of the month goes to curring and it will keep the bud tasting fresher than hangin the whole plant.

I hang the entire plant upside down for 3 to 5 days. As the lower branched buds (which are now your outside top layer) fan leaves get dry to crunchy I snip off those to the curing jars. The main colas will continue to hang another few days or however long it takes depending on the humidity. Doing it like that I've never cut up my colas to help them dry. That just don't seem fair to her. And I've never had any mold, it just takes a little longer before the big ones go to cure. Then I trim off the fan leaves and into the glass. Then open the jars every day to check on the progress and let out any moisture. (that's where I am now) If they were put in too soon you might have to let them air for an hour or more or even have to take them back out but if you let them dry properly a few minutes is enough. Worst thing at this stage is to get moldy buds. Good luck.
