Post-cure, is it better to grind your buds or leave them whole in mason jars?

This is a question I'd like to know the answer to because pre-grinding weed sounds convenient for when you just want to open up your container and smoke right away, but does it affect quality over time? Is it better to just grind your bud at the time of smoking it?

Ground bud dries up much quicker. Think of it like coffee. Ground coffee loses so much flavor over time compared to whole bean, so it's best just to grind what you need for that day, or even, that cup. Same with bud.

I like this analogy. I will follow it. Thanks.

I grind for the next day or two. And keep it in an air tight container.

I grind up a chunk of each strain I have on hand and store them in pill bottles. When the bottles are all empty, I do it all over again.
