Start by harvesting your cannabis buds when they reach peak potency. This is typically when the leaves turn from a vibrant green to a light yellow or brown, and the buds have a potent smell.

Step 2: Cleaning

Carefully trim away the leaves and small stems, leaving about a quarter inch of the stem attached to the bud. This helps with curing by allowing air flow.

Step 3: Drying

Hang your trimmed buds upside down in a dry, well-ventilated area. Use paper bags or a drying room to maintain a stable humidity level of around 45-55% and a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C).

Step 4: Curing

Once the buds are dry, move them to airtight containers. Use small mason jars with a one-gram capacity. Open the jars daily for 3-4 minutes to release condensation and maintain a humidity level of 60-65%.
