@BCBudlady ...hand on heart the Best thing I have done with smell and taste on my bud is to dry it With the leaf on....
Just large fan trim ...hang upside down to the leaves dry draped over the bud...dry/bottle like that.
Crumble the outer leaves off when you grind. It is so Simple.
The leaf drape traps the terps until you Release it ....by crumbling the outer leaves. IMO if it is preserving the terps/smell like that...it is protecting the volatile oils too.
Game changer on the aromatics..for me......
