I still had a couple plants that weren't ready to harvest as yet.

Yes, even if you quick dry, you still need to cure. Drying gets rid of the moisture in the plant, while curing gets rid of the harsh, green chlorophyll flavour.

The thing with drying in the shed in 24-48 is with the lights on, so there is still heat generated. Maybe if I was growing some other sort of herb (oregano, thyme etc), but I'm not doing that with my precious maryjane.

I dried mine in my Cool Cab a few times now. It was snappy dry in 3 days. Right into jars and was smoking the sweet buds a week or so later, lol. The last time though I found it dried it too fast and went really crispy, so next time I won't keep it in there as long to see what happens. I strung the buds on the chains and ran a line of the chains across the inside of the cabinet to hang them on too.

Chiceh, did you have the lights in the cab on or off?
