Effective drying time can be much longer than 4 - 5 days.

Often takes 2 - 3 weeks in these parts.

Depends on the humidity and air movement in the drying place.

If weed is dried very quickly it often tastes harsh.

As a rule of thumb, once the plant is dry enough so the stems snap rather than bending then it is curing time.

Be careful- if the buds are still damp they may go moldy in a jar.

If you let the plant go a long time without watering just before you cut it down this will help reduce drying time.

Oh and get rid of the leaf like Stoneric says.
