depends on how smooth you want the smoke. it usually takes me a week or so to dry the bud correctly, then another month or so curing, but you can test smoke some bud within minutes of cutting if you just want to test.
alot of people i know just dry it for a week and then smoke, it works ok, but not as smooth.
if you are in a hurry, i would say a week or so from harvesting
