i dried a small nuggy using the fan off of my ballast. i just put it on a paper plate and set it next to the vents on the side. there is a fan in the ballast and heat. it dried my nuggy in 3 days. it looked really good. then i pinched it and it turned to dust. stem and all. heat is bad.

rather than fast cure your weed just go buy a bale of hay to smoke.
exactly. i waited 3 months to grow it, i can certainly wait 3 weeks to dry it. i recently opened a jar i have had stored since NOV. perfect!

Fdd, I agree totally with your method of drying and am employing it as we speak. It DOES make bud taste, smell and smoke better. I have also noticed , by curing my buds loonger in glass jars, the taste develops its complexity and the bud seems to become more potent! I dont know if this is just placebo but I really love well cured bud. Oven dried bud luiterally kills my throat , it smells, tastes and looks, GREEN, like mown grass.
As I read the beginning of this thread I could not believe what I saw, how could somebody actually defend dehydrating bud....yuck....what a waste.
I did fast dry a bud once(ujsing the damp towels microwave method), it tasted like crap.

Robert Connell Clarke , author of "marijuana botany" actually wrote the text for his master's thesis to earn his graduate degree in botany from UC Berkeley.
he also wrote the book "hashish".....

no probs, and here is what it says on the last page of "marijuana botany", I left a little out.
He wrote and illustrated "the botany and ecology of cannabis" as his undergraduate thesis at U.C. Santa Cruz where he graduated with honors.

Lots of conjecture here, I do know this from personal experience... if you don't cure it right smoking it will make your teeth feel like they are going to rot out of your mouth.
(my friend had a few plants that flowered, we dried them for like 3 days and tried a little bit, it gets you stoned but man your teeth nearly ache)

ok since all the xperts are here.. question if your bud dries in 3 days crispy and stem break after hanging them is this considered quick drying? i mean every time i hang them they dry pretty quick.. is there a problem i am over seeing. temp is around 78 and humidity is around 50-60.. should i place them on trays and dry like that?
