Dry the buds as slowly as possible. I have heard that cutting the entire plant down (provided it is less than 3 feet tall) and hanging it upside down is one of the best ways to dry since the moisture in the plant will slow down the drying time. The last time I harvested I cut off all the main bud sites (I scrogged the fuck out of my girls) and hung them from butchers twine strung across the inside of large brown moving boxes with holes cut in them to allow for some air flow. The resulting smoke, after a few weeks in jars, was exceptional and loved by all who tried it.
The key to good tasting smoke is patience - whether you are drying or curing. Give your buds 10 days to 2 weeks to dry and then cure for a month. The wait is worth it!!!
