microwave in 10-12 sec bursts, at 30-40 % power, turning in between bursts, does great for me,

You can use the oven on 250f.. From what i read, turning often.. But i prefer the microwave..

Don't go the quick dry other then for a small personal stash/hold-me-over.
Do the typical dry& cure. If during that, take a bit more for the hold-me-overs.
(now just thinking out loud here, what about vacuum drying? Water boils off in a vacuum, so it should dry it out pretty quick)

fast drying is easy but stupid.
always degrades quality, always makes harsher, always makes coughier.
if you must rapid dry, do NOT use heat. that is the main cause of quality degradation.
i suggest placing in an air conditioned room set as cold as possible, place in a small brown paper bag with the end open. place a desk lamp aiming at bag, not too close, just enough to keep the bag slightly warm.
the light raises temp in bag enough to begin evaporation, while the ac acts as a dehumidifier to speed the process. light air movement is good as it can remove the humidity from the bag faster, but too much air will cool the bag and slow evaporation. its not as speedy gonzales as some folks like but, it is the fastest least destructive way i know of.
food dehydrators work, but can over dry unless done in small short cycles, the rapid air movement dries the outside quickly but it takes longer to reach the deeper parts of the bud. so a small break to give internal moisture a chance to equalize can help alot.
