When To cut sugar leaves off

Should I cut The little leaves off as soon as I cut the plant. Or should I wait a day and hang the whole plant.

Prob be better off to trim when you chop.. Can be a nightmare after they drop, the triches make them stick to the buds= pain in the ass.

Probably doesn't matter at all. Even if it does, I doubt anyone can give you an answer based on anything more than a guess.

Anyone who has ever trimmed before and after hanging can tell you the diff. by fact not guess.

Wet verse Dry trim , look it up and understand the variables involved with properly drying marijuana .. If your temps are high or the humidity is low its best not to chop off the leaves initially as they will help slow down the drying period ..

There is an art to drying and curing weed , its a very critical stage and you have much to learn . Only you can make the decision of what to do and what is right , again study up and think . Peace .....

I prefer to trim fresh as they're standing out straight and easier to trim. I typically give a good watering before I chop to slow the drying down a few days. Also get some nice scissor hash when you trim fresh.

As ProfPS said though, if humidity is low, may want to leave them a bit. I also have a friend who prefers to smoke in joint form. He leaves a lot of the sugar leaf on to keep the bud from getting too sticky when he rolls it up. The more leaf you leave behind though, the more the overall taste changes.

My suggestion, do one of each and form your own opinion based on personal preference, as either way can still be enjoyable. If you only have one plant, trim fresh and leave two or three branches to trim after drying. Should give you a small representation of both ways.

I agree with pluckin them off when there fresh. We trim as soon as we pull them from the dirt which helps also with the leaves that you trim close to your buds shrivel up
