We are on the last of a 5 plant harvest. The first being a monster blackberry that we had to cut several times and hang buds to dy, so irrelevant in asking for advice. My wife grows in an outdoor enclosure if that matters for discussion.

The 3 subsequent plants were cut/dried/cured as follows "

a) soil was dried in enclosure then moved into a sealed room in our home. Next she packed ice in growing container 2 times over 20 hours to stimulate what she referred to in her limited english as a "frenzy". The buds did get really stickier over the next day. We then cut the plant at the base, hung upside down until dry, then cut buds and put in cure mode for 2 weeks.

b-c) everything the same with the exception she left them inside for 2 days drying further before the ice step, cut and dried same way. Maybe it is just the differing type of plants involved, but 2 & 3 didn't seem to increase "stickiness" .

I'm quite sure there are many ways to cut / dry / cure. We moved the last one inside today, she plans on icing it down tomorrow. Even if not in time for this one, there are 8-9 more that are just entering flowering stage now, so would still welcome any information/advice.
