ok this might be true, but i beg to differ that its a better route to take. ive found in my studies that wen trimming your buds (as u can tell if chopped before) wen they are still wet during the dry they loose those beautiful terpens, the basic 'smell makers' of ur buds. they r located inside of your trim. if u trim (not the fan leafs, take them bitches OFF as soon as chopped) after u have finish a NICE ELONGATED DRY (i dry for about 8 to 9 days) and then u give it that trim, i beleif u will be impressed with your findings too.
YES, i DO beleif its makes for an easier trim also....no SUPER STUCK scissors!
the elongated dry lets those terpens settle into the buds nice and well. so wen u do trim and jar, them terpens dont go escaping into a whole bunch of no where. just a couple pennies.
