Harvest to smoking in 2 weeks?

Hola amigos, I'm harvesting my first plants in the next few days, the strain is blueberry cheese and there looking amazing, I would upload some pics but the cameras fucked. I need them to be dryed/cured in 2 weeks tops, is this possible? How long should i hang them on string and with or without a fan on? any tips would be appreciatted especially on a possible schedule. Peace and looking forward to responses.

Drying is around 7-11 days. Check often for moisture content and bud rot.

2 weeks'll be fine for a straight air cure... make sure it's in a dark room. Drying time will ultimately depend on the density of your bud.

hey

once they are trimmed and you hang them in a dark ventilated area.
Then check them.. I do daily... ususally 3-5 days later i put them in jars, carefully because they will be very dry..fill the jars 2/3of the way loosly. cut off any thick stems. first time i saw this I thought the bud was to dry and i ruined it, but next day opening the jars I found it to be very wet..so dont freak out!
Now once it gets dry lke that I leave one more day then into jars... open them daily, gently tumble the buds so you dry them even.they will stick together some..gas builds up i the jars from the curing process this lets the gas out and the process continues...1 week of that treatment and your a happy toker.....
tis is what works for me man, thier are many ways...
Gluck buddy....
