i totally agree with you but to alot of peeps 2 months is like a whole nother grow lol but its a trade off and i believe this is the best method of speed and it probably only lowers potency a tad bit but if it can knock off a week or 2 out of the 2 months its a good trade.
I know the additional time to properly dry and then properly cure can be difficult for some people to put up with but doing things to speed up either or both never makes any sense too me. For one, the person just waited a rather long period of time to harvest. They spent that rather long period of time attempting to squeeze every last bit of potency out of the genetics they grew. They spent money and put in a lot of time and effort so their crop would be the very best it possibly could be. Why after all that would anyone become so impatient that they would intentionally do something that is counterproductive to everything else they had done up until that point in time?
I fully understand the feeling. I have felt it myself more than just once, but it only makes sense to bite the bullet and wait so the final results of their efforts will be the very best it can possibly be.
If someone is a commercial grower and needs to get their product on the street I can half see where they could decide what will be lost is not as valuable too them as possible lost business, but for anyone else it just does not make any sense to intentionally take a route that will cost them some degree of quality.
Doing so would be like their efforts to squeeze every last bit of potency out of the genetics they grew was largely so they could then later throw some amount of potency and flavor and smoothness away because they want to use a faster drying and or curing method and have something to smoke that is still pretty good even though it is not the best it could possibly be.
If someone is growing for themselves and they have run out of herb there is nothing at all wrong with taking a small percentage of their crop and drying it quicker and curing it quicker, or skipping the curing process all together. But they should dry and cure the bulk of their crop properly. The small percentage of their crop that would not taste as good and not be as potent should get them through until the rest of the crop has a chance to be properly dried and properly cured, unless of course they only grow a very small amount and a small percentage of that would only last them a short period of time. If the latter is the case then they need to do what they need to do, but they should know that they will not experience the best that their crop would otherwise give them.
