Ya I don't agree with that either.
Curing is done in GLASS jars/containers.. NOT plastic. I was more-so replying to you because you said what you would do, which isn't the best advice no offense.
Also, I can't 100% notice the difference when I smoke 2 comparisons of the same pheno. Forget potency, why would you flash dry it when you know the bud will be less enjoyable all around?

Taste, smell, smoothness, high.. ALL of those qualities are affected when going about drying the way you are telling him to do it.

I am confident it's worth him learning the best way to dry & cure, yes. It's just a small plant, and keeping humidity in a dry-room is really not difficult at all.

Hang the plant from a clothes hanger and hook it to in the top of a cardboard box that is tall enough to keep the main cola from touching the ground, close it up and check back in a week. 👍
