manicuring harvested buds

hey kids - ok im starting to stress out a lil cuz my plants will be ready to be harvested in like less than a week or so - will have to confirm when i recieve my lil microscope in the mail but i gotta question concerning the manicuring of the buds... like, theres lil leaves that grow where the buds grow like in layers or something (like theyre part of the buds or somethin but theyre not)- yall know what im talkin about right? am i supposed to get rid of those leaves during the manicuring process before i dry/cure or what? cuz on one of the plants, some of those lil leaves are starting to turn brownish and its worrying me =(((

thanks for letting me know!!!!!! l=)

The really tiny leaves that surround the buds are smokable and they're part of the bud after they're dried.

Can you post a picture showing the brown leaves?
