Harvest & Curing How do you all Dry?

I've done all of my drying in a cardboard box in the room with my plants and all have turned out pretty tasty! Im pretty sure as long as you dont have light just beaming on them you should be alright. I've always had the same problem as you...harvesting at separate times.
 
I have a system I use and I'm sure it can be customized to fit anyones needs. Depending on plant size let's say it's a autoflower. A auto I will give a rough trim while it's still in the pot with a trash bag rapped around the base to catch all falling leaves. I'll then take the whole plant to a dark area (attic, closet ect) somewhere where the RH stays around 40-60. I'll hang it upside down tied to a clothes hanger and the clothes hanger hooked to a piece of wood or clothes rail in closet depending on where you are hanging. It normally takes 8-12 days depending on the heat in the area. A good way to tell if it's ready to come down from there is grab one of the bigger buds and try to snap the stem in the middle of it. If it bends but doesn't break it still needs time. I normally check all buds and the ones that are ready I will move to a brown paper bag to dry out last remaining moisture. If they ever get to dry and brittle you can always add a fresh nug, leaf, orange peel or something of that nature to bring some moisture back into the bag. After there in the bag I check on them daily and give them a light shake to move the buds around so they all dry together. When they get to the point I like (a personal preference) I move them to mason jars filled about half way up. Check em for moisture the first few days tho I've never had a problem after the bag. After that I just burp the jars a few times a day and give them a light shake here and there. The longerrhe cure the better. After a week or two in the jars you will really start getting that sweet aroma back. Hope this helps someone. This has always worked great for me hence the reason my friends and family call me the captain of the cure lol
sounds good, if my first grow makes it this far this will be the method i try
