Remove dead leaves for drying?

[The_Moz4rt]

Hello everyone,
here is our plant at the end of week 9 since 12/12.
I know the plant is not ready (trichomes) but due to personal reasons, and because she's more dying than living, we have to chop her down in the next days.

I've only done one proper drying and curing process so far and my question is: Can I hang her with dead leaves or do I risk something? I would like to leave them on to keep a better RH, but I'm not sure this is the case.

Please hold back comments on her health, I'm quite angry and sad already!
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think it'll be ok though I question the benefit in this situation and would for sure take them off wet (well the leaves aren't wet anymore), when it's easy instead of a PITA trim job later.

I would get rid of the dead leaves.

I wouldn't want dead leaves on the plant when I 'm trimming it. They go in the compost.

I cut almost all the leaves off to hang and dry. Leaving them on just makes it take longer to get dry enough to not risk rot.

thanks a lot guys, I'll cut them off.

Higher risk of mold with them on

I take off leaves as soon as they're dead, even before harvest. I don't like old leaves blocking fresh green ones and budsites.
