newbee here... at least on this site... thought i would share my super simple drying method....
once you harvest.. i hang the plants for a day or 2 (this makes removing the large fan leaves easiest), then i remove all of the large unwanted leaves, and break the plant down to buds...
then i take a phone book, rip out the pages, and place them in a preheated oven (350F) for about 5-8 minutes. dont stack or overlay the pages (BTW i have an electric oven)... do this on the top rack... you can tell when the pages are getting really dry... you dont wanna burn/char them...
wrap the buds up in the paper after its cooled.... think giant doobie.... and then i place the rolled up papers in a small cardboard box.... wait about 5-7 days, and repeat....
after the 2nd time, your buds should be perfect....
i have used this method for about a solid year now... it takes care of the 5 phone books i get every year, and is quick and reliable... the smoke tastes great (be sure to dispose of the paper before you smoke the buds).... and you can further cure them with the glass jar, but i dont really find it necessary....
anyways, i hope this helps someone....
