First of all let me tell you guys that "fast drying" is NEVER RECOMENDED unless ur outta green ($$$ or 
). But since many of us just cant wait sometimes, for different reasons, I decided to share w u guys my experience in fast drying
So I've read a few threads bout drying ur buds the fastest way and still get a good smoke outta ur bud. Microwave, ballast-drying, air exhaust drying, drying on foil using a lighter (LOL), oven drying...etc. I've tried most of them but with poor results, of course, but heres a method I tried few times that works really really well for a "fast dry". I call it: CaL's half-a-day drying and curing method.
Heres what u need: 1 oven 1 air tight glass jar. Now I bet some of u thinking: "He's gonna put buds in the jar and then in the oven"? Havent tried that 1...maybe a good idea?! No no no...heres how CaL's drying and curing method works.
1. Select the nug for drying and curing, cut it off and strip it of the largest foliage.
2. Cut the nug in pieces big as a normal (human) thumbnail.
3. Put ur green on a piece of foil in the oven, oven set at 104-122F (max), 40-50C. I can do this w my oven, if u cant...too bad, jk, try using as low heat as u can but dry it for shorter periods of time in the oven, I guess. Let sit for 1 hour.
4. Take ur pieces out from the oven and trim them.
5. Put in an air tight glass jar for 1 hour.
6. Repeat "oven process" but this time let ur "nuggies" stay in the oven for 45-50mins.
7. Back in the jar w them pop corns for 1 hour.
8. Repeat oven process but this time only for 30-40 mins.
9. Back in the jar.
10. Repeat drying(oven) and curing(glass jar) process till ur bud is dry to smoke.
Using this method is not near the results u get from drying and curing "properly", but this way I got smooth smoking buds w less chlorophyll taste and more "weed" taste and more of the smell and taste is there for you to enjoy, and most important of all, it seems to make the loss of THC minimal...I really mean minimal.
For proper harvesting, drying and curing read theese excellent threads on the topic.

if they can, so can I. Results turn out outstanding for a "fast dry".

When you open the jar it smells great + buds are moist again, lets them dry from the inside and out...makes for a much more even "fast dry" wich I think contribute to the better flavour and less THC loss
