you don't hang the buds for 2 weeks. usually the hanging part lasts about 10 days. when the stem snaps, not bends, the buds are ready for phase 2, i use mason jars. open the lids for 15 minutes 3x a day. this usually takes around a month. you want them to cure slowly, and there's just no way around it. i've heard of people using those food dehydrators too.
