granny I cut all the buds off the stems when I harvest cause it takes a whole lot less time to dry.... then I lay them out on my drying racks for minimally 48 hours then when I put the product in jars I make sure the jars are only about half full and are not all smashed in together. Then I make sure I open the jar every day for at least 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon and I shake the jar real good to make sure the buds are not sticking together or to the jar and I do that for about 2 weeks then for the next 2 weeks I burp the jar at least once a day and try to remember to do it twice a day then after about a month you should be good. I also use Boveda packets which are humidity pkgs that will keep the herb at 62% which is supposed to be optimal for our herb..... The first harvest I chopped I did hang the whole thing and it took over twice as long to dry enough to jar up and what a pain to trim after it is dry.... For me the trimming is so much less work if I do it when I first chop my girls.... Hope this helps a bit and if one of you guys does it differently please speak up and let us know how and why......
