You can lessen the effects of warping and buckling by placing weights on the wood as it dries. For total air circulation, take out any barriers and insulation that may be beneath the floor. You should also not use any heating agents or air conditioning to dry out wood as rapid drying can cause cupping of the boards since the top usually dries faster. Drying floor boards is a long process and it can even take months.
