Dry it like you usually do and when that is done you put in glass ball jars loosly (dont pack them tight so get a bunch of them)and crack them open three times a day and one of them for about an hour or so. It brings all moisture from inside of the bud to the outside just watch for mold! At least thats how i do it

Hang a week or so
bag a week or so
Jar for 2+ weeks

The curing process involves, among other things:
1. Drying the marijuana until it has the correct moisture content;
2. Decarboxylizing the un-psychoactive THCA into THC by slow cool controlled drying.
3. Converts sugars and starches into harmless and flavorful compounds.
.
*1. Hang until stem snaps; clip buds and bag until bag/buds no longer gets damp; Jar.
*2. Decarboxylation is any chemical reaction in which a carboxyl group (-COOH) is split off from a compound as carbon dioxide (CO2).
*3. "Immediately after the harvest comes the cure. The reasons for curing and not just quick drying your crop are to make the herb sweet smelling and smokable. You want it mild not harsh and you want a good smell and flavor. After all that work don't ruin it with a too quick cure. A good cure lasts for from 3 to 8 weeks but good results can be had in two weeks or so. The idea is to remove the water slowly enough to let biological processes take place that convert the sugars and starches into harmless and flavorful compounds. Sugar or starch will give a harsh smoke that hurts the lungs. Plants need sugars to live on and they produce them from fertilizer and sunlight. This curing process also breaks down some of the chlorophyll which give herb it's green color. Too much chlorophyll gives an unwanted leafy taste."
