Hey guys this question has been bugging me for the longest mostly since i got into a debate with a grower friend over it.
Main question is this, is it better to trim right after harvest, or wait until the whole plant is dried and cured and THEN trim?
My concern is this, when you chop fan leaves and trim right after harvest, that this will create gasses escaping from the plant as it dies, which will affect smell. i notice that many buds i trim right after i take them off the plant end up smelling not too strong. they have this planty smell for at least a week after harvest. it takes a few weeks of burping jars, etc to make the real smell come out.
my buddy cuts his plant, then leaves the whole thing to dry out first, then he trims. obviously its harder to trim a dried plant than a wet one, but his buds come out pretty nice smelling.
so i want to hear your opinions on this!!
