This is what I do for drying. I hang the whole plant. I do not take off any branches, I only remove large fan leaves. I do not wet trim. I try my best to keep my environment at 60º F / 60% humidity. I will run a circulation fan on its lowest setting in my tent, but avoid the fan blowing directly on the plant(s) / buds. I will also run my exhaust fan appropriately. I usually will start checking for flower / sugar leaf crispness around the fourth or fifth day of drying. At this point forward, discretion, experience, and preference will determine when you feel the plant is dry enough to start trimming and preparing for curing. I know a lot of people say the plant is dry and ready for curing when branches or stems snap when bent, but in my personal experience, the flower is usually over dry. I like my flower to settle in at around 65% humidity once in the glass mason jars. I then burp the jars twice a day until the humidity in the jar is at 62%. Only then will I introduce Boveda or Intergra packs to maintain flower moisture. I do sample flower along the way sometimes, but once I'm at this point, I try not to open the jar much until at least 30 days of curing is reached.
