I wet trim, de nug and herb shelf dry. 5-7 days ready to jar. Shouldnt need much more than 7 days, 10 at the most. Idk how people get 14 days mines usually done day 7.
So I could start smoking depending the strain by then, some need to cure. They all smoke wet at that point unless over dried during the hang.
Anyway I dont find that a long time to wait. I would suggest a rosin press, I very often in my short journey was able to press and dab by day 5-7.
Maybe chop a branch early to carry to smoke ready harvest. You know thats how live resin was invented? The growers couldnt wait to smoke it so they freeze dried it and boom, a revolution.
