I use a dehumidifier to drop the rH during late flowering and drying. But only if the rH is above 60% ... 40-60% rH is fine for flowering and drying.

i hear that it DOES make the drying time during harvest much faster, but it doesnt let the moisture in the middle of the buds disperse evenly. is this true?

Keep in mind that most will say speeding the drying process can and usually always leads to disaster. Be patient and let them dry slow, should take 2-3 weeks at least to dry.

Drying fast does tend to make the smoke harsher, but if your selling for quick needed cash, who cares how it smokes, half the people out there think that the harsher the smoke is, the more potent it is... *Note: This is not true.
Probably is true, but if you take your buds down every second day and put them into paper bags for 12-24 hours, the moisture from the centre of the buds and stems will draw out to the outside and you'll get a more even dry. I do this no matter what when I air/hang dry. Stops the bud from being not dry enough in the centre, and too dry on the outside.
If I'm selling for quick cash, I can have them dry and ready to smoke in 2 days from cut. Using fans and dehumidifier. It's smokable, sellable (don't no if that's even a word haha), but does taste a bit like chlorophyll... Not that any street buyer would hav a clue, they all think that's how weed's sposed to taste hahaha.
Cheers.
P.S - Some more Autumn colour for all

Damn, that's a big set up!
If you flush properly, you're plants should start to look like this:
If they're still green at harvest, you didn't flush properly and improvements could be made in future.
Cheers mate.
Man, no offense but they should never look like that. Those are starving on the verge of death. I like to do a good flush, but you should only get a general paler green color, not actual yellowing. You need to adjust your feedings. Major calcium, magnesium, and potassium def going on there.
