The buds will only dry as fast as they can, big ones take longer than small ones.
I have never used a de-humidifier so I can't help with that.
But this is what I do:

hang in a dark place with plenty of air movement, not a fan blowing directly on them though

after the stems snap when you bend them, then they are dry enough to take down

I then put them in brown paperbags for a few more days, I open it and gently shake them at least once a day.

That should dry them. Mine usually takes almost 2 weeks to be dry and smokable.

I just tend to stick em on the back of the tv set. Done in 2 or 3 days depending on how many there are.

I am just now for the first time curing my herb. My harvests were always so small that it all got smoked up before the cure.
But, I have smoked weed that was dried slowly and correctly and weed that wasn't and there is a huge difference. It is worth the 2 week wait, every minute of it.

hybridtek will become famous soon enough
if you want a good cure don't go for a fast dry, it'll be a hrash smoke and lose taste. Hang them in a room with good air flow and in 2 weeks you can jar them

I have to disagree. A long cure will make a difference to a bud. but a 3 day dry is just the same as a 2 weeks dry without the risk of bud rot setting in. Of course a 2 hour dry would give a harsh taste to the weed, but 3 days is fine for a drying exercise. The important stuff goes on after the dry.

If ya need a quicker fix put in on top of your cable or sat box and it's done in less than 12 hours. If ya need it that bad of course.
