    It largely depends on the ambient humidity. If you live in an area that has low humidity, sure. You'll want to manicure immediently and bag dry.
    The biggest danger would be discovery. It will take 7--10 days.

    thanks for the reply...i was thinking of leaving them inthe tent for only a few days and then finishdrying them in brown bags at home...i just need to keep the smell to a minimum if they are at my house and i have no experience with drying except from all the time i have spent online researching so im not sure how bad the smell will be. I figured if i could get them mostly dried before bringing them home to dry in bag then cure in jars it would be best for the smell. thanks for the help.

    I also saw some small batter powered tent fans that i could leave running inside while the plants are drying. will this work or should I try to find another way? Theres no way I can do it in my house.

    If you can't dry it in your house, you're not going to be able to get away with curing it in your house

    i dont understand...

    curing is a process when weed is AIRTIGHT and open for only 10min a day, now during those ten min u can hold it out the window or just inside the house since it wont be as bad as 7-10 days of countinous fresh bud. also ur meant to keet it in the dark- so it would suggest hidden since if someweres dark u cant see anything. im just saying U CAN dry away from ur house and then cure inside.

    Guess you've never cured any serious quantity of weed indoors before...

    There is a LOT more to doing a proper cure than simply airing it out for 10 minutes a day. It is a process that requires close monitoring for at least the first week (and often two if you're curing BIG buds), a lot of checking the moisture content and taking appropriate measures to keep the weed from composting the bud from the inside out. If you have pounds of weed that has to be checked (i.e. opened up) several times a day to regulate this, the bouquet will permeate the whole house. Screw up and leave it in the airtight container too long and you'll be smelling ammonia and rotting weed instead.
