I would personally make a little cardboard box with an opening on one side and string or wire inside, hang them in the closet inside the box, and keep air circulating. If it is cold in the house it might take a bit longer.

Adding a small computer fan sucking air out works well ime.

sure that'll work great for ya 
I use dry racks and then hang my buds when I run out of room. Some people don't like using the racks because they flatten out the buds on one side, but once you jar your buds and begin curing they fluff back up.
Personally i prefer the racks.

nice thats what i wanted to hear ! how long does it usually take your buds to dry out and do you use a fan to circulate the room ? do you leave it in complete darkness ?

Here's what I do to dry.
Curing is the easy part--stick it in the jar and smoke bowls till your ready to open it; its drying properly thats the bitch. Without a proper dry you'll never get the buds to start curing in the first place.

I built a drying box (plastic tub) with a carbon filter sucking the air out when I first started growing, but it gets hard to use, especially once you get a decent sized harvest. Its a great idea, but not very practical unless you always plan on having small harvests.

7-10 days to dry. I don't use a fan and yes COMPLETE darkness. If possible keep the room you're drying in @ 60% rh. The slower you dry your harvest....the better the cure will be

it all depends how long into flower you are. Seeing nanners late in flower is fairly common and they most likely don't have any pollen in them anyway. I always have at least one or two strains that shoot dicks the last few weeks in flower. If this is the case for you don't sweat it.

 i am the end of the 6th week of flowering and the trichromes are still all clear.

ok good. I took a look at your log, since you're only running 2 plants I'd go through and snip those nanners and any that pop up as they finish flowering. Just to be safe.
