remove fan leaves first, remove trim, hang to dry or dry then trim your choice. everyone has opinions of this.
cure in paper bags for a week or two, burp every day, when the stems snap put in jars. burp jars every day or two. burp less as time goes on and they dry.

leave buds you want to smoke out overnight to dry fully while curing.

dont trim wet... yes its easier but most of u dont control ur environment for a slow dry.... cut the whole plant and hang it. ( yes, leaves and all) this slows the drying time down to help the chlorophyll evaporate. the once its dry ( stem bends but kinda snaps) then ur ready for ur manicure and jarring... then proceed with ur cure.

trust me.. i've been doing the wet trim for years and it was always a hit or miss with smell and taste... started just cutting and hang the whole damn thing and jars reek, buds reek, and the taste it there even with a week cure. also (u must have a fan circulating the air)

totally totally agree, after a few alright grows, I decided to just hang the whole plant and let be....left it in a dark room with my temp around 60F and my RH between 55-60% - took about 8 days before I cut off the buds did a full manicure and jarred them....right now there curring for almost a week, and they look, smell and taste AWESOME!! - also the trimming wasnt that hard at all.....
