We'll my boyfriend and I have been arguing back and forth on the best method to dry, so i come here in hopes to find the answer! What is the best way to dry bud? We're not looking for the quickest way but the most efficient way to dry it without harming it so it will come out to its full potential! Can anyone set us straight?
 
There are a few ways to do it. Its whats easy for you. Put them in a paper grocery bag and roll the bag closed. Check them in a few days. 1 way to do it and its easy. Ya dont have to hang them upside down. People do that because its easier not because it makes the weed better.
 
hmm didn't really think of thats. Is there any risks with just putting it in a paper bag and closing it?

And is there anything that you can do during drying to make the bud better?
 
I personally would only use the aforementioned paper bag method to cure my buds. First, cut 'em down and let them air dry in a well-ventilated room, either hanging upside down on a string or sitting atop a window screen. Depending on the relative humidity, I might dry anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks. Once the nugs feel dry to the touch but still abnormally heavy, place them in a brown paper bag and close it up. At least once (or twice) per day, remove the buds for a few seconds and then close them up again. As they start to smell and burn more properly, you can lesson the amount of times you open the bag. Once your satisfied, vacuum seal your finished product or can it. Depending on how long you paper-bagged the marijuana, you may decide to continually open the can or sealed baggy just to make sure you don't develop a mold problem. Store it away from sunlight and in a cool environment. Enjoy!

It is hard to give time estimations relating to the curing and drying process. I have had certain strains of marijuana dry out overnight and certain strains of marijuana develop mold (seemingly) overnight.
