Ok now i got to start this by saying +++reps to Al B. Fuct, who i originally got the idea from, dude your a fuckin genius. Anyway i was harvesting and was looking for a method in which i could dry the bud quicker then say 2 weeks to a month or more. Unfortunatly i do not have pics, but here's the link for Al B Fuct Bud dryer - manicured to smoke in 3 days the whole thing cost me $40 at home depot. There are some people who are skeptical to this and believe in hanging and curing for weeks, the old school way, your a shmuck. We harvested sunday, i smoked dry bud tonight, wednesday.

Any version of anything that speeds up the process is bunko generally. Of course air movement helps, but anything that heats or dries the pot will damage the tricrhomes and oil composition.

Nothing takes the place of time and doing it right. Moving air is just that, moving air. Moving air, even alot of it, will not speed up the real curring process. It will speed up drying, but not curring.

I would like to point out the number one reason these drying ideas are bad: Time is the only thing can turn thc that isn't psychoactive into the thc that gets you stoned. We don't even need to get into science to understand the rammifications of quick drying your bud knowing this.

Some people don't have the time nore space and place to dry. So some people have to invest or build their own drying devices.

If you have the space to grow any amount of marijuana you can easily find room for a drying area. It takes up signifigantly less space and requires only a modest fan to provide circulation.

If you lack the time to cure properly then why waste time, money and space to grow when better quality product is readily available across the globe.

Perhaps I'm just an idealist but the logic you provided appears to be more of an excuse than a reason.

I'm a little lost, you can hang bud in cardboard and it can be dry around 4 days +/- a few days. Curing is what takes an additional 12 days and there is just no going around the natural cycle of slow wicking.

If you're too close to your grow cycles, grow a bit more, or save a bit more. No need to rush the final step, it's the one that gives a lot bigger bang if you do it right.

I said nothing about curing anywhere in my reply. All I said was some people don't have the space or set up to dry it. You can grow marijuana outside and find the space neccesery for it. You can even take the chance of never checking up on it until it's time to harvest. But if you live with someone or you don't have the space in your house to grow it , why would you take the chance of a long term dry? Why would you take the chance of them smelling it either? To each his own please keep your opinions about what one chooses to do with thier smoke to yourself.

Being the ever-opinionated type I cannot possibly contain them all.
To each their own is a rather slippery slope that I'll slide down with you. Sure. Grow, dry and cure your marijuana however you please. Just because you CAN do it wrong doesn't make it right by some sort of mental default. That's like saying "vegging under a 27k light-source is my way of doing things and that makes it acceptable". Acceptable to you, perhaps. I would still be justified in pointing out how horrible that logic is.
You can easily add a four dollar carbon filter to any drying box to eliminate the odor. Long term dry? I suppose adding three (maybe four) days to your dry could be considered "long term" if you were a butterfly.
More excuses.

I live in CO where its dry as hell year round (except on the rare occasion) and my stems snap on day 3-4, meaning its smokable. I'll even say its an extra fat bud and go 5 days. That's just from hanging it but you made a machine to dry buds as fast as it takes naturally? Do buds take longer than 4 days to dry in most places?

Also, if you don't let your buds cure before you smoke them then you are wasting a lot of your spent energy. My buds are so much more potent and smooth after they are cured.
