That method would work for the color curing process (rotate the leaves often) but then you will need to either air or flue cure. Once that step is done the kiln / fermentation chamber is your best bet next to waiting a year.  What are you growing this year? I've got Yellow Twist Bud and Prilep going. |

2 weeks is too long for a color cure and it will now be composting.
2-3 days to color cure from green to yellow followed by an air or flue cure to dry and then on to fermenting or aging.
If I've misunderstood and you'd already color cured and dried, I apologize.
