The Different Ways to Hang Your Cannabis
When it comes to hanging your cannabis, there are a few different ways that you can do it. You can either hang it upside down, dry it in a dehydrator, or cure it in a jar. Each method has its own set of pros and cons, so it’s important to choose the right one for you. Let’s take a closer look at each method.
The Wet Method
The wet method is the most common way to hang your cannabis. It is also the best way to preserve the trichomes, which contain the majority of the plant’s cannabinoids and terpenes.
To hang your cannabis using the wet method, you will need:
-A drying rack or some other means of suspending your cannabis in a warm, dry place out of direct sunlight
-Something to catch any water that drips off of the plants, like a tarp or catch tray
-Cuttings from your cannabis plants
-String or rubber bands
-Scissors (optional)
To begin, cut down your plants and remove any large fan leaves. Cut or tear the plants into smaller pieces and spread them out on your drying rack. If you are using a rack with multiple levels, make sure that the pieces of cannabis are not touching each other so that air can circulate freely.
Next, tie each piece of cannabis to the drying rack using string or rubber bands. You can tie them at the stem or around individual branches – it’s up to you. If you are using a rack with multiple levels, make sure that the pieces of cannabis are not touching each other so that air can circulate freely.
Now it’s time to let your cannabis dry. Hang your rack in a warm (around 21°C), dry place out of direct sunlight and leave it for 7-10 days. Check on your progress every day or so, and if you see mold starting to form on any of the pieces, remove them immediately. Once all of the moisture has evaporated from your cannabis and it starts to feel dry to the touch, it is ready to be cured.
The Dry Method
One of the most popular methods for hanging your cannabis is the dry method. This involves hanging your cannabis upside down in a cool, dark and dry place. This method works well for small to medium sized buds.
To hang your cannabis using the dry method, you will need:
-Cannabis buds
-A clothesline or string
-Hooks or clothespins
-A fan (optional)
Start by trimming any large leaves from your buds. If you are using a fan, set it up so that it is blowing gently across the area where you will be hanging your cannabis. This will help to prevent mold and mildew from forming on your buds.
Next, tie a length of string or clothesline between two points. Make sure that the line is not taut, as this can cause your buds to break. Hang your cannabis buds on the line using hooks or clothespins, making sure that they are not touching each other.
Allow your cannabis to hang until it is completely dry. This can take several days, but is usually worth the wait. Once your buds are dry, they can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

Step-by-Step Instructions
The wet method is a safe and easy way to dry and cure your cannabis. By hanging your cannabis in a warm, dry, and dark place, you can ensure that your buds will cure properly and be ready to smoke in no time. Follow these simple steps to hang your cannabis using the wet method.
1. Start by trimming your cannabis buds. Trim off any large fan leaves or sugar leaves, but leave the small leaves on the bud itself. These small leaves will help protect your bud as it dries.
2. Next, find a warm, dry, and dark place to hang your cannabis. An attic or closet works well for this purpose.
3. Hang your cannabis buds upside down from a line or clothes hanger using fishing line, twist ties, or other similar materials. Make sure that the line or hanger is not touching the buds themselves.
4. Check on your cannabis buds daily, rotating them so that they dry evenly. After about a week, they should be dry to the touch but still slightly pliable. At this point, they are ready to be trimmed and cured properly.
How to Hang Your Cannabis Using the Dry Method
The dry method is the most common way to hang cannabis. It’s quick, easy, and doesn’t require any special equipment. All you need is a dry, dark, and cool place to hang your cannabis. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to dry your cannabis using the dry method.
What You’ll Need
-Cannabis
-String or twine
-Scissors
-11” x 17” paper or poster board (optional)
-Pen or marker (optional)
Step 1: Cut two pieces of string or twine, each about 18” long. Fold the cannabis in half so that the stem is in the center, then tie the string around the cannabis at the fold, making sure it’s tight enough that the cannabis won’t fall out. Trim any excess string.
Step 2: Tie the other end of each string to a fixed object like a doorknob, table leg, or chair. The cannabis should now be hanging upside down. If you’re using paper or poster board, place it underneath the cannabis to catch any falling leaves or buds.
Step 3: Leave the cannabis hanging for about two weeks, until it’s dry to the touch. When it’s ready, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-Start by finding a nice, dry spot to hang your cannabis. You want to make sure that the area is well-ventilated and that there is no chance of moisture getting to your buds.
-Cut off any large fan leaves or stems that are attached to the buds. These can be saved for later use, but they aren’t necessary for the drying process.
-Find a way to suspend your cannabis in the air. This can be done with a clothesline, hanger, or even just by tying a string around the buds. Make sure that there is plenty of space between each bud so that air can circulate properly.
-Now, all you have to do is wait! Depending on the temperature and humidity of your drying area, it could take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks for your buds to be perfectly dry. Once they are, they can be stored in an airtight container and enjoyed at your leisure!
