The size is a good point. There's a thread called 'stinky bubbles' that is a hash tutorial with pics, by the bubble-bag method. I also like to process trim and popcorn into butter, which stores very well in the freezer.
Don't bother curing your hash-bound buds.
I suggest doing a nice manicure on your prime, top colas and the really nice, shapely, dense nugs from high on the plant, and then saving the 'popcorn' for your secondary products.
