You could quick dry it using an oven.
thank you for response... cant dry in the oven. want to hang it and do it right, but i cant bring it in my apartment. have two kids and dont want to take any chances + the neighbors would smell it. i hate to give up and forget it. this was supposed to help us out of the hole. work is slow and everything is late. friend with garage changed his mind and just left us hanging so i have to figure out how to do this outside up in the hills... maybe a safe chemical that would prevent mold but not compromise the smell, taste or safty... i dont know. had a lot riding on this... what if i hang in bisqueen plastic with containers of that powder stuff that absorbes moisture. would that ruin it? i know this is beond lame, but i am desperate. any ideas no matter how funny are appriciated. also, im just learning how to post etc... so be patient. thanks

Check the forecast and if you have dry days ahead find a nice big pine and hang it back in there where it's camouflaged.You can even climb up and hang it higher in the tree.If some light rain is in your forecast take a trash bag with you.Spread it in the branches above the plant making a nice canopy.Check on it in 4 days or so and you should have some nice dry buds.
thank you, but will the fog mold it? will the leaves keep the moisture in too much and cause mold or should i just just manicure most of it first then hang even though it wont be as good? is there really that big of a difference in quality when its dried too fast?

Yes,trim it first.Not sure why you think it won't be as good?I always trim before drying.This isn't a quick dry method.After you bring your buds home you will still need to cure them.
You always have a chance of mold drying outdoors but as long as it's fairly breezy you'll be fine.I've never lost a plant using this method.

Once mold starts is there just nothing you can do? Is it just a matter of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best?
I was thinking about doing this, in a tree is a good idea, seems like if you do it there is no way anybody is going to spot it. But, the pacific north west is a pretty humid and wet climate.
Air flow is the important part then? You wouldn't want to keep it in an enclose stagnant area?
