1st, the drying and the curing are extremely important for the final quality of your bud. I suggest that you read and re-read this page very carefully:

I have read it so many times I lost track, cuz it's a lot of details and procedures to keep straight. But if you want to get the best top quality bud, you'll read it.
You don't want to over-dry the buds before you jar them, and you don't want to under-dry them or you may have problems with mold when you jar them, which will ruin the bud. It's an art form, but if you stick with the procedure, you will produce the best weed you ever smoked.
You may want to invest in a hygrometer or two; the ones Nebula recommends on that page work really well.
Also, read the tutorial on making Dry Ice Hash, save all your trim, dry it in a paper bag in a cool, dark place, and make hash!! You never had so much fun!!!
