So, as the time gets closer, I have been doing a lot of research and reading on the trim process, trying to decide how I want to go about my first harvest. At first, wet trimming seemed like the way to go, since it seems to be the easiest and quickest to trim and manicure when I can easily separate leaves from bud.
Reading more though, I have decided to go with a dry trim, to slow down the drying process as much as possiblle. There is also a pretty consistent thought that doing this more quickly transforms the smell from chlorophyll to strain specific. It may add another week to the cure, but shoot, I've already waited 130 days!
What I am now researching is whether to hang the plant whole, or cut in branches. Again, hanging whole can add a couple more days even, but may result in better smelling and tasting bud, and shorten the cure process, since it would be curing in the cabinet.
Interested in hearing what you guys do and why?
