So my next question would be, can you quick dry and normal cure for faster finishing. Instead of hanging and such (Kinda hard where im located and such), doing a rubbemade dryer and then curing...

you can make a bud dryer and still cure and get decent tasting buds, but like they say cannabis mellows with age

When drying humidity should ideally remain around 50-60%. Too high and buds could mold, too low and they dry too fast and taste bad! Temperature should be cool - around 65-70 degrees. Make sure the room is dark, as light degrades THC.

spark - yes you could fast dry and cure if you need to.

Thank all! I actually got a humidifier for my gro room and transfer one of the house air ducts to that room so I can control the temperature. My little girls are taking off nicely.

You might check into water curing. Haven't tried it yet but looks like a nice way to remove the chlorophyl for a smoother tarte.

I know this method isn't the best but I think it's a good mid point between hanging the whole plant and fast drying. My last harvest I took the top buds that finished first and put in a brown paper bad with holes in it and kept in a cool dry place for like a week and a half and buds turned out fine. Probably not the best but hey I'm a lazy stoner. I would not want to hang the whole plant cause the lower buds won't be done when the top ones are done. I'll pick those around a week later. Anyone try a similiar method?
