After several grows now I'm curious about how long others take to dry the buds after they are harvested. I read lots of information that drying should take about 1-2 weeks and then curing can take another 2-4 weeks. I just harvested a giant fat bud last weekend and I hung it in a closet with the lights off. It's now only been 5 days and that entire bud is like crispy, bone dry. While I'm sure it still has some moisture in it, it is really dry and can be smoked right now. I do plan on letting it sit in a glass jar while I consume it so there will be additional curing happen. I guess I'm just not sold on the extended longer periods of drying time required that I've read in many posts and articles.
BTW I live in a sub-tropical part of the country so it's not like it's been low humidity which would have accelerated the drying time.
