I thought this was some kind of undersea plant at first
I've never done this, but I'm curious. You collect the buds and you simply let them dry? What's the process?
The idea is to get a slow controlled cure and not a quick dry.
I’m in an arid climate and I generally cut individual branches, let those dry, then harvest the buds, but some of my friends just hang the entire plant up to dry. If you’re in a humid climate then you might look at cutting it down to individual buds.
I’m actually looking at doing a Lotus Cure next grow, it’s where you dry/cure with a fridge instead of hanging it, but it requires a wet trim as well.
But I cut it into manageable sections, and trim the fan leafs off and hang to dry. Very dry here, so I leave as much plant material as possible, and even a humidifier to keep the rh up.
When it’s dry, I cut it apart more and put it in grove bags.
Lotus cure works really well, but if you use cardboard you can get a cardboard-y taste that fades over time. I went back to traditional dry/cure, but that just because I wanted to use the fridge as a fridge again and it’s pretty easy for me to keep a good temp/humidity where I’m at

Lots of good info at https://www.growweedeasy.com/drying-curing and elsewhere :)
Oh cool! Thanks for the info :)
@leanfemurs nailed it. Link has most covered too.
