Dries way too fast

Helping a friend with their grow, and pulled one plant Friday. Like I've done in the past, we just cut off branches, trimmed down to the bud, and hung in a dark closet, keeping the door closed with no fan. It wasn't very hot here last four days, highs in the mid to upper seventies.

But as in years past, we figured we had better jar today, and it may be too late. Even though the stems are flexible, the buds are likely way too dry to cure. At this rate we might have to hang for two days max and then jar. But practically speaking, how can we slow down the initial drying process? Would just removing the fan leaves and leaving the sugar leaves slow the process? I kind of hate to do that because it makes trimming twice as hard once the leaves fold over the bud.

Any tips?

Moisture in the stems will rehydrate the buds during the curing process. You could also dry in a paper bag to evenly dry large amounts of various size pieces, and if some are moister than others they will rehydrate the drier ones to an extent.
