What are you, Shreck? "LMAO significant amount of resin", almost as funny as the guy who said: "Once the thc starts forming on the leaves moving it might knock off minimal crystals but after a couple weeks it might make a big difference." are you back? You don't wait till they are "dry out", that's too late, they should still be bendy as I have explained. The buds should be covered in draping leaves when hung to dry. Leaving the foliage on the plant when drying is the whole point...
yup, that's what I'm sayingI think that the curing process only makes ur buds dry out more evenly, wich in itself is good, and since they are laying in a jar full of buds, they take on more intense aromas so I guess if u have "bad" smelling weed it can improve by curing but don't expect it to be "da bomb" if it isn't dank after drying....sorry! Ofc, properly dried dank buds + curing also imroves taste and aroma a little, but why I think people say it does "a lot" to the taste and aroma is because they dry their weed to fast and beeing dry and smokeable they try it and say it tastes a lot of chlorophyll, ofc it does it's dried to fast and the chlorophyll didn't get the chance to "dissapear" all of it, then start curing and after a week "Curing really is the trick, dam my buds are dank again" when it really isn't the curing in itself that made it taste better, it's because now the chlorophyll is gone

these are my posts on page 2, anything there you don't understand feel free to PM me...yes you are right, the "trick" is just, for best result in my opinion, to still after 7-9 days have them a lil bendy not snappytrimming really is a beetch this way but trimming them after drying let your buds "sweat" and your dank buds will stink up right before going in the jar. Thx to Shrubs First for the drying tip, I tried this way and i'ts the way I'm going till I try something else that proves to be better...just make sure you have a good air flow so there's no mold, don't blow right at them, I just let the fans from the growing sections move the air, works for me. Also to add I think that many people here in the forums, especially "first timers" chop their plants to early and the buds haven't really "packed" up then their plant(s)/buds will dry faster hence a "lesser product" regarding yield, potency due to cut too early and lesser taste and aroma due to again cut too early but also due to it dries up too fast loosing a lot of taste and aroma...these are my conclusions after growing and drying/curing buds many different ways, not what I've read or heard.

Would it get the same results manicuring a day or two BEFORE the harvest?
Don't look at it as annoying, look at it as rewarding
I usually don't practicly have the time to manicure a crop in one day. It usually takes me a week or two. (around 200-300 grams a crop, hopefully more this time around)Don't look at it as annoying, look at it as rewarding
Actually you want to dry not to fast becuz this will halt the Initial breakdown of chlorophyll leaving your bud "green" tasting and harsh. But you dont want to dry to slowly as this can lead to the onset of mold, which makes your crop worthless and dangerous to use. Most average sized plants will dry in about a week, + or - a day or 2.
If your buds get too dry, I've heard of people putting a leaf of lettuce in the jar to moistne them up again. I bet it's better using a "MJ leaf" but iono, never had that problem w too dry buds...
WRONG
