have you followed riddleme any? he has done some research in curing. some of what he has found is that curing is a fermentation process. there is a lot to it, but one thing he found was that if you drown the roots for the last 5-7 days of a plants life it basically cures it. so you do this, then harvest, and then dry, then the product is as good as cured right then. you are basically starving the roots of oxygen. several folks have done this with success, and one with failure, i think it was stem rot.
when you have hydro you basically turn off the pumps and no more oxygen bubbles feed the roots. i know this sounds like murder the hard way, but it works. i will be trying it relatively soon myself.
