Some brief background info. This is from my first harvest ever. In a 4*4 tent I had a Sour Diesel, Do-Si-Do, Blueberry, and Chocolate Thai. These plants encountered a lot of issues and the fact that they even made it to harvest is a miracle. About 1.5 months ago when I went to trim these plants I realized I must not have been paying close enough attention and someone hermied because I found a couple of seeds. A few years ago a few seeds would not have been a deal breaker. Now, with the legalization of weed in my state we have become quite spoiled with the access to premium buds. At the time frustrated I decided that I would just learn to make edibles and use these plants for that purpose. I didn't finish trimming them, I didn't even remove the buds from the branches. I stuck the entire branches with the buds still intact into ziplock bags, then put the ziplock bags into an insulated bag and that is where they have remained until last night. It was never my intention to leave them there that long but life got in the way and I haven't had the time to do anything with them. I did put thermostat/hygrometer in the bags. The humidity level as maintained 67%. The theromstat/hygrometers I have display their data an external display so I did periodically look at the temps and humidity levels without having to open the bags.
Last night I decided to do some trimming on these to see exactly what I had and I realize I may have disregarded these too soon. My question, do I trim these plants now and begin the curing process as though they had just finished drying from harvesting? Or are they cured just from sitting in the bags for 1.5 months even though I didn't even burp the bags. Below are 2 pics of one of the same bud (sorry for the poor quality), just in different lighting.
