@Chester and @HashMaster both dry their plants whole. I'm sure there are others. Just know from talking to those two that they do it that way or have.Cheers @Rebel
I did a quick search and found a few solid growers hang entire plants - It seems very much a personal preference and circumstance based, but I'm reasurred that it's right for me.
I've always completely manicured and then broken down either into brown bags or a dry rack (or both) - but i don't like the time it takes and the smell it creates (mad eh! .. love the smell in the jars lol).
I'll try and get a snap when they're naked.
