OK… Here’s what I do, and it takes a lot the guesswork out of it. Your ideal dry will be about 7 days, but it’s hard to stay at 60 degrees and 60% humidity, so I use one of these:

When a bud gets to 11-12% on the soft wood setting, it’s ready to start curing. Smaller buds may get there first, and you can start curing them first, just snip them off and place into your cure container. If you go into your container at 11-12% moisture content, you should level out around 64-65% RH in your container. You will want to monitor the RH in your container. I use these:

And then follow this general guide:
As for containers, most of what you read will refer to 32 ounce mason jars, and they work great, but must be burped regularly. I instead, opt to use Grove Bags as my cure containers. There’s a lot of info about them here: Anyone using "grove bags" to cure?. I personally think they are great! No burping required, (still follow the chart, though)
