u have to read. u want to hang it up in a room with good ventilation and you want to trim the large fan leaves off then hang the buds until the branch snaps and not bend. then put it in a jar and burp it every 4 to 6 hours for the first few days then you just let it go for at least a week

Trim them before they're dry, because it's a real bitch, if you wait til afterwards. Other than that, listen to heathaa, and you'll be just fine. :)
 
The large fan leaves contain lots of sap and should be left on until dry, which will take longer, and that's a good thing. Slower drying makes better tasting and smelling finished bud. The buds are the last part of the plant to dry and you want all the available moisture to pass from the various parts of the plant into the bud during drying. Also, if the bud is being grown not for sale but for personal use, it's better to leave buds on stems and some interfloral leaflets intact (finish manicure B4 smoking) to keep the connoisseur quality up during storage. Dry to the point of snapping stems is too dry to begin curing properly. For the best cure, jar the buds while the stems still bend a bit.
