ya i would put them in the oven at 550 degree's for about an hour, turn them often to insure equal dryness throughout the entire bud. after that they should be plenty dry enough to smoke. then when your done if you still have plants in the ground i would go and cut the roots off this will start the drying process a little sooner so you dont have to wait much longer.....have some patience my friend let them dry right you will be much happier in the end.. you might be able to smoke them in maybe even 5 days. you waited this long to let them grow, wait a few more days so you can enjoy the smoke
