in very dry climates it works well to hang your buds in cardboard boxes with strings "stitched" through the sides forming rows. Space these rows depending on the diameter of your buds. Place the strings one inch below the top. Cut paper clips in half and bend each half into an "s" or if the buds are less than fifteen wet grams, Christmas ornament hooks can be used. Put in the buds so they are tight, but not touching. Throw a good min-max temp/humidity on top of the strings close the box, wait two to four hours and check. Check every few hours at first to maintain close to 70•F and 50%rh, cutting one inch flaps as necessary to vent if needed. If rh is low, misting one or more outside sides of the box with distilled water can help create a seperate zone from the surroundings. Another thing to do is paper bag your buds when the crisp on the outside to redistribute moisture. IMO, the paper box does a better job.

ok now that im close to harvest i decided to take a read once again but while i was reading step 3 i can picture in my head how it works the moisture from the inner stem and inner parts of the bud are drawn out and makes the bud wet again wouldnt it be a better idea to hang them up again to dry out to reduce the chance of mold instead of leavin it in the bag cramped up against the other wet buds???? or would it fuk up the whole process by Uknowingly hangin up the buds to dry before all the inner moisture is drawn out????

umm start with hanging them either in a dry room or in a box with some ventalation holes. then move on to a paper bag to suck out the rest then put in the jars and check like 3-4 times daily and make sure to shift them around
