I finished my first grow recently and I was pretty stressed about the drying/curing process as well. I chose the paper bag method, and it went absolutely flawlessly. My buds have been curing for a month as of a few days ago, and they are *fantastic*. Smooth, aromatic as hell, the whole nine. I'm by no means an expert but when the time comes feel free to shoot me a message if you want and I'll break down the steps I followed for ya.
