i think it depends on the humidity of where you live. In CO where its dry, if i wet trim they will be dry in a day and a half and taste "green" still. In MI where its humid, if you dont wet trim it will take a week and a half to dry and may get moldy... i like about 5-6 days of drying. Bud density plays a role in this too. i would never wet trim an airy structured sativa but a super dense strain will still dry slow even with a wet trim. hope that helps happy harvey!!
