Are you going to write that up and share the technique? How dry will you get it in the dehydrator? All the way?
My feelings about drying/curing is that as long as the trichomes aren't damaged by heat or (god forbid) microwaves or steam, then quick(ish) drying is fine, or more than "fine" - preferable.
Slow drying by hanging has been done for ... well forever really, but as I don't have huge harvests I don't need to hang the buds to dry - they all fit in the dehydrator.
It's hard to say how long I need to dry them as it depends on humidity and the amount of buds, probably dry them to the "standard" dry but bendy stage.
I feel that curing begins when you finish drying, that is after all the burping and farting around.
For example, my last drying was for 24 hours on the machines lowest setting - 15 mins on / 15 mins off.
After the 24 hours the buds were put in a jar with a hygrometer which read about 75% humidity once the moisture had stabalised.
Then over the next 24 hours (or less) I dropped the humidity to 65% using sachets of silica gel.
Then it was seal and leave to cure.
The buds never lost their scent, never took on any "hay" smell and never had a chance to go mouldy.
I live in sub-tropical Australia, humidity is an unreliable factor so I don't air dry.
Sweating and burping your buds is a slow way to get the humidity down to the curing level - my method gets to the curing zone quicker but it is still very gentle on the buds ... and the buds are so very nice
