@ CPW  After the whole plant is hung and dried (to snap) I'll cut the plant up into manageable pieces, these are laid in a tub and cured . The tubs I use aren't air tight, but they work pretty good. The first few weeks of curing the branches still have 50% of their leaves I'll.  give them a final trim, and off to the freezer they go. I'm shootin for 4 weeks of cure. Peace
