Have dried and bucked down flower, that only has some leftover long sugar leaves on it, and it has been jar curing over a week.
I contemplated the difference in quality of bud that sits fully trimmed in a jar, vs. untrimmed bud sitting in a jar curing.
I normally would’ve fully trimmed before cure, but got lazy on my last round; Coincidentally, a host on “The Cannabis Hour” (local radio KMUD) mentioned last-minute (before use/sale) trimming to preserve moisture and flavor.
I already anticipate the arguments, but I’d like to know peoples’ anecdotal preferences.
I think that if a cure jar is only partially (not even mostly) full, it probably helps to have the buffer of sugar leaves keeping moisture and terpenes in, but could also see the sugar leaves possibly diluting the flavor of pure sticky goodness.
Thoughts?
