I dry my harvests on a paper towel with a fan blowing on them for 48 hours or more to be safe. How long will these last? \

Probably a week or 2. You should look into drying in a desiccant chamber which sucks all the h20 out. Then you can store them for a lot longer

it depends on how dry they are. my house is crazy dry so I can get mine cracker dry with a fan if your house is more humid they may still contain some moisture. how do they feel? are they hard? do they bend or snap?

To reach cracker dry with only a fan should take 3-10 days, give or take.
Depends on humidity, fruit size, power of the fan, etc...
How long will they last? Until you eat them all 
Use the search bar for ideas on best storage options. Vacuum sealing them in a bag would be a real good start. Good luck

fucking buy a dehydrator and dry them at 160F, or fan them for like 2-3 days and THEN put them in desiccant. If you dehydrated them you can put them in a jar sans desiccant and be fine for months

I'm going to be leaving town to go back to work very soon. This will be my last grow for at least 5 months probably more like a year. So it doesn't make much sense to buy one rite now.
