Well GMarius, there is a significant difference between soaking wet plants and dry ones. It's simple as this. If you collect in dry and sunny wheather they will dry even faster. Imagine wet buds, they can rot while drying. They did that before to me couple of years ago when I was forced to chop. I had to increase the temperature in my drying dome an this caused a harsh taste to the buds. This is my personal expierience and I don't say that what you say is bad or smthin. No! I just prefer to collect buds dry and soaking, yeah but in resin though
