Unless of course what you're interested in is an early stage of collecting kief or such I suppose.
well I guess if one grows mediocre medicine then I guess there would be a major concern to make sure every trichome stays attached. with my grows and the technique of curing i use there are no adverse affects to my medicine. Give it the love while growing, and something as minor as putting it in a paper bag and shake it so air can get between buds so no mold starts to grow, will not change the quality of the medicine. also you must let it hang and get crispy before you even throw it in the bag. :smokin: But whatever works for you, go head and do that. This is YOUR medicine, make it and take it as you like!! I was simply adding my 2 cents on how I keep my flavor and smell. That works best for me!
PurpleMeds Reviewed by PurpleMeds on . Preserving flavor when drying buds Who has some good information on preserving the flavor of the buds when drying. All the buds smell awesome when they reach maturity but many lose most of their flavor when dried. I have tried leaving the buds on the plant without trimming, trimming before drying and partial trimming. The results don't seem to show the affects of the different drying methods. The afghan goo and white widow taste great but the dj short blueberry seems to have lost a majority of its flavor. The bliss smelled Rating: 5
