High Smoke... I do exactly the same except I find it easier to completely trim my buds when I first harvest then I put them in the drying racks and let them dry for about 72 hours with a ceiling fan going... then I jar it up loosely with the humidity packs and open it for 30 minutes twice a day for a week then burp it every day for about a week or 10 days then once the stems are dry enough to snap... I seal her up and let her cook...... Hope you are having a blessed and green day....:circllove:

Like Dennise, I completely on harvest day. I trim off all leaves without trichomes and leaf tips without trichomes.
Then I hang or mesh hamper until dry ... except I leave them hanging until the stems snap when bent. It usually takes my room 8-14 days to dry. Once dry, this bodacious herb (spice technically) is either smoked fresh, jarred with a Boveda pack, or both. When the stems snap, no more burping needed.

Some people like closely trimmed buds and trim off leaves to make the buds look pretty. If you do a close, pretty trim, do it after the stems snap - and remember to smoke those trichome ladden leaf tips you trim off - It's the tastiest part of the bud.

I have an entiely different aesthetic than people who like trimming their buds to look neatly machine trimmed . Some people neatly trim grass lawns, while I let my grasses go to seed and encourage volunteer herbs to mix in. The birds and rodents like it uneven, a touch wild ,and tasty - so do I.
