To trim or not to trim when harvesting?
Does it play a role in the cure? If I trim my leaves before I let them hang to dry I understand this speeds the drying process. That would not be a bad thing because time is a factor here. But what I really want to know is, is bud quality/potency/terpenes improved by waiting to trim?
If so, how much is the improvement and in what factor(s)?
And lastly, if it is to improve the quality, and I choose to do it, should I do it inbetween taking them down from hanging and putting them in mason jars? I would imagine it would be pretty difficult to do if the plant gets any drier than that.
