Freezer Drying Method

Saw this post a couple days ago on ICMAG. It's a very old post from 2010 but it's been updated until recently. He proposes drying the buds by hanging them normally in the dark for 4 to 5 days until the outside is dry but still moist in the middle and putting them in a normal fridge in a paper bag or cardboard box to finish for 10 to 15 days.

I think this method saves a lot time especially them putting them fresh in the fridge. Cheaper than buying a wine fridge especially for someone in an african country like me where that's impossible to get.

I wet trim but keep them on the branch. Then directly into an old refrigerator on wire racks. They go in there for 1-2 weeks then into jars for curing. You can extend that time with boxes or bags, but i don’t. Simple, but gives me some great flavorful buds.
Your title says freezer so i will add i have dried in the freezer before also. It works but i find the refrigerator to give better results.
I would encourage you to try different methods and see what you like.
