I trim all of my sugar leaf in my ss steamer pan, on the couch with pillow & heating pad, steamer pan in my lap
Pile everything up on one side, Sugar leaves to the bottom right as I trim, trimmed buds top right
I leave everything on the stems & use them, so I don't touch the buds
Wrap wire on the ends & hang on wire hangers in the coldest room in the basement
I Have no Enviromental controls so just try not to let it get to dry wait till it feels crunchy on outside but large stems still bend but don't snap
Worst you can do is let it dry too much, once it gets to 50% the cure stops even if you rehydrate it to 62%
Then into the jar to rehydrate get it to about 65- 70 %( by opening & closing or removing if really damp still) Then slow cure for a month in a cool place checking regularly (shake it up give it a smell)
