i just harvested my indoor grow how long will it take to dry out... how will i know when they are done drying... is there anything to speed up the process... if there is a way to speed it up would the quality be not as good if i just let it run its course the natural way
Don't force dry it....let it dry naturally. I usually wait until the stems break when bent in half. If you bend them and they fold, it's not done. The other thing that is important is to store fresh bud in mason jars for at least 2 weeks to cure the smoke. I usually open and close the jars every day to let them breathe. A lot of the guys call this "burping" the jars. This curing process really improves taste and cuts harshness. Try a search here and query curing or processing.
It's always a good idea to cure your smoke after drying. Check out this thread: http://forum.grasscity.com/harvesting-processing/239157-after-harvest-guide-drying-curing.html
