Curing takes time to get right, and for the most part, I hang plants either trimmed, or with sugar leaves only, depending on the strains (Some trim wet easily, and some don't LOL) but dry trim can be a pain in the ass because you have to get the leaves from around the buds and that can be a pain.
I hang them for a while, and then I start to feel them with my fingers. When the outter layer feels dry.... Actually Mac already said this, but that's when I start checking if they're ready for a jar. If I'm using a Grove Bag, I let them dry a bit more, just to make sure they aren't going to mold up in those but I started off just using a simple snap the stick method because I simply didn't know how else to try LOL.
