There's plant fact and preference. I've noticed that very few actually understand plant fact and have set their ways based on preference of others.
Something tells me professional growers don't think along the lines of "it's your preference". I'm sure they use plant facts to increase efficiently and quality..
Idk.. man.. I like to do things that actually matter. Not my own personal complexities and bias based on the preferences of others.
That's why I ask alot of questions. Hoping to get someone who can provide a tid bit of factual info that I can then use..
I know brother. It's a bitch sometimes to make sense of it all. Hard facts are the longer the dry the better. Here's how I did it.Hmmm. I'm going to dry it in my tent. So if I wet trim, set my humidifier to 60% and turn my fan down to low, I should get optimal results. I can always leave the sugar leafs on to curl and better protect the bud. Idk bro. My head hurts. If i get one more "do what you like, theres mo right or wrong way" I'll off myself..
I start to take large fan leaves off during the last 2 weeks to allow light to penetrate further into the canopy and as I chop branches, ill take off the larger fan leaves as well. I leave everything else on and hang dry for a week or so, then put into a big 28 gal tote box as I prepare to trim and that starts the curing process, then directly into jars if its dry enough, or into shoe boxes if it needs to dry out a bit more, and then into jars for a month or more
I hate a wet trim myself. i think it leaves a hay taste, too much chlorophyll is left in the buds
I have to disagree with you on the first part Chem. Longer drying allows the breakdown of chlorophyll to proceed. Basically once a certain level of moisture is reached in the bud, the breakdown process stops. The goal is to slowly approach this point, without encouraging mold. The more time you allow the process to continue, the more chlorophyll get broken down, and the more the hay smell/taste is reduced.Hay taste is a bad cure and drying to long, and how does trimming the leaves wet leave more chlorphyll than drying uncut? Surely your releasing small amounts of chlorophyll after cutting, through evaproration?
I was educating myself on if chlorophyll evaporates and I found this.

Weed is discussion.
I know bro. I fixed it for you.Discussion, not argument.

I'm growing some culinary herbs this summer. I may need to pick your brain on your procedure. I would assume that the dry/cure for a plant you eat would be different than from one you smoke. Or do you do it the same way?I dry quite a few herbs too, I've always had a veg garden, so small gaps stuffed with herbs, they get dried and cured for use in Winter when fresh is unavailable, I use the same method for all the plant drying and curing, apart from the herbs dry on the washing line. lol

Temp in the low 60's.
Humidity 50-60%
Small fan pointed at the tent wall.
Tent exhaust fan on the speed controllers lowest setting, and constantly on. So it slowly exchanges the air in the tent.
Chopped by the branch and hung whole.
After 3 days I removed the fan leaves.
7 days later I trimmed and into the jars.
