Has anyone ever heard about this? I've got someone teaching me new techniques. I was told to cut my branches and leave them hanging in the dark for 3 days with the leaves on. He said that the buds will continue to feed on them for that time. Anyone have any experience with that or opinions?

Yes chlorophyll continues to be used-up during drying, if that's what you mean.

IMO, this would be an unnecessary step in curing and make removing the leaves much more tedious?
I have read of this method, but thought it old school?

they may be old school but they have the biggest dispensaries in SoCal............so? Maybe they know what they're doing?

I reckon it is old school, that was the way I was taught oh so many years ago. Makes the drying time a little longer. Yeah trimming is more tedious, but that is what I worked all season long for....lol. Also, gives me a chance to inspect the buds after they have dried. I guess just one of those things one of the many ways to reach the same goal. Old school but learning new tricks here

That's cool. We all have a lot to learn. Especially if you're trying to be legal. The laws and attitudes are changing daily. These guys have three big dispensaries and no one has put a foot in jail even after many years of operating store fronts. I find that amazing.

Yeah, I'm old school myself (4+ decades growing) and anything I can do to make harvesting go a bit faster, or easier (for me) I'm interested in.
IMO, harvesting is the most labor intensive part of growing.
I reckon it all really depends on the scale of the mission.

Some folks pull whole tomato plants up and hang 'em, but I prefer picking the fruit off.

It's the most labor intensive and it makes me sad. I like veg.

I can think of two reasons this might be a bad idea. Don't get me wrong, I wanna know how it does, but here's my opinion/theory.

If you leave the fan leaves on, its more of a pain in the ass to manicure your buds.

If you're still pulling off fan leaves after cutting, you're allowing them to pull nitrogen into the buds, which affects taste. I might be wrong on this one, but I know for sure it makes grooming a bigger pain in the ass.

Keep us posted, you should do a side by side.
