Manicure Before or After & days of hanging?

hello everyone i was wondering which way is the best way to go about manicuring. I know that in Europe they dont like to manicure until the leaves have dried and the stem snaps. Then they manicure before putting them in jars for the final few days for curing.

Now i h ave heard that there is THC and CBD inside the leaves which retract into the bud during the hanging drying process.

However, i have been watching videos and looking on the forums and see that most people cut the plant and manicure it right away then move it to hanging. Are there any advantages to this besides convenience and bud mold resistance?

the reason i ask is because i have done the first technique of waiting till its dry and i was wondering if manicuring before its dry had any advantages.

thanks for your feedback, got something informative then u can count on the rep points

I always do a quick trim before I hang them, My reasoning is as follows.
Its much easier to trim the leaves, right after it comes off the plant, if you let the leaves dry up a bit, they can curl up into the bud, or make trimming a little more difficult.

I dont know if leaving the leaves on, while its drying causes it to be stronger in anyway. Sounds like the ol myth of hanging the plant upside down, so the "thc flows into the buds"

I could be wrong though.. peace n luv

I do some trimming before hanging and then fine tune it before I but them in mason jars. I like some leaf cradling the buds especially if those leaves are frosty
