I'm gonna attempt a bump on this topic seeing as it's harvest time for me in a few weeks and I'm still very uncertain on the best method for harvesting and drying....
Would love to hear people's tried and trusted methods. Do you manicure right after you harvest or do you manicure once it's been dried for a few days? I've read that it's best not to cut off the individual buds right away as that will speed up the drying process too much. What are your thoughts on that?
What are your drying area conditions? Temps, humidity and air movement. This part of the grow is often overlooked but getting it wrong can turn a really good grow into something very average, if not disappointing.
There's so much varying opinion on the matter so would love to get some discussion going on it.
