I know to smoke buds, but what about...

The leaves that I clip around the buds? Should I dry these as well? I'm not going to have enough clippings for a decent amount of hash - hell, I'll be lucky to get a quarter of bud. Bud I notice all these crystals on the surrounding leaves, should I manicure them off and then throw them in a small brown paper bag to dry, then combine with my stash later on? Thank you for the advice!

Personally i smoke it all,i mix the dried leaf into my baccy to save meself money as i smoke less baccy

Yes, all of those leaf trimmings go into a brown paper bag for drying. You can save them and add future crops leaves. You can use them for hash or baking.

HTH

Fan leaves taste nasty. But the little leaf trimmings around the bud for some reason gets showered with trichomes. If it was my personal stash, I just leave it on. But for dispensaries, I clip all the leaves and just leave flowers....

I dunno, I like the small leaves, they don't get me as medicated as the flowers, so its a mellow high. Then when I smoke the flowers, I get a better high. Just to break off the monotony of smoking flowers all the time, and getting too high of a tolerance. The little trimmings or schwag gives me a light buzz and a break from the heavy high from the flowers. It all falls in place.
