Exactly what I do. It's so easy. Its like opening up a candy wrapper to a danky, crystally, wonderful surprise.

Man, you guys are making me consider trying it. I hope this isn't BS, because my current trimming/curing process is working great. But who doesn't want more smell. My only concern would be handling dry bud and knocking trichs off.

I can see drying with the leaves on helping slow the dry process. The length of the drying process is what I've noticed makes the biggest difference in smell potency. (all growing being equal)
Do you guys that now dry trim, notice a longer drying time than when you trimmed wet?

I pull all the fan leaves off that don't have trics at least an inch up the leaf while it's wet. the rest I wait till it's dry enough to flake off the last 2 batches I harvested took 5 and 7 days to dry enough to do that I then put it in either jars with boveda 62 or if I feel the stems are still a little wet I'll throw it in a paper bag for a couple days. As far as losing trics from dry trimming just do everything over a trim bin and you will have some awesome full melt kief its my favorite part of growing
Sorry I'm stoned that was a really complicated way to answer your question. It takes maybe a day longer to dry

Appreciate the feedback.
Do any of you who dry trim, have drying environments where the humidity and temperature are controlled?

The hay smell is the natural decomposition of chlorophyll, it happen whether you dry trim or wet trim. The difference is a wet trim exposes more of the internal pathways to oxygen for faster oxidation instead of relying on the natural processes of oxidation through stomata's which happens at a much slower rate.

On time is a matter of preference of the individual grower.
Seriously, none of us take our plants to their true finishing time. We harvest for the affects we desire.

..No, you should probably harvest when the plant is at its peak. Mostly cloudy trics, 10-15% amber. That is pretty much its full potential, which is when it should be harvested. Although, the more amber, the more couch-locky. The more cloudy, the more heady.

And when you harvest below 5%, you're cutting the efficacy time short. Ever have cannabis that only lasted 45 minutes? Harvested way too early. I cut most everything at 5%, can't stand CBN and sleeping through life.

You're missing the point here, just because our trichromes are done doesn't mean the plant is done. I,m not arguing that you shouldn't try to harvest at it's peak trichrome stage but the plant will continue to grow way past that stage. It may be past it's peak production but if un pollinated will continue to throw flowers ( and maybe a few nanners).

Well, yeah, if you let the plant "finish" or "get done," it will die. That's what plants do when you let them live a full life cycle. We harvest them at peak because if we don't, they're no longer useful to us by a certain point. They don't grow flowers indefinitely.

Yes, I have people growing my strains that harvest at 42-45 days, whereas i take them to 63 days.And when you harvest below 5%, you're cutting the efficacy time short. Ever have cannabis that only lasted 45 minutes? Harvested way too early. I cut most everything at 5%, can't stand CBN and sleeping through life.

What about re-vegging? And yes they will continue to throw flowers as long as the climate and nutrients are available for growth. First thing is these plants sole reason for living is for reproduction.

WE, meaning cannabis smokers and users, don't care when the PLANT is done. We care when thc and other cannabinods have reached peak production. Once that point is reached they begin to break down and ruin the high/stone/efficacy.
So, like I said... harvest between 5-15% amber.

Quality over quantity? Uh, some of us are going for the medical properties of the plant, not couch lock I need to sleep every time I smoke this.
Agreed heads will want whatever you show them as long as it looks decent. Local reggie market? You could pull 35day olds and they would fly out the door. #Theory
I have done revegs, after 43 days chances drop you will get it rooted but it will in some cases. Takes about 3 weeks to get it turned around too.
Green Crack cross or something?
