well as the title states I'm harvesting my plants and knew one wasn't doing aswell as the others small airy buds now I've cut them down I really feel like just putting it in the bin rather than sit and strip are they worth the time ? They smell well and are sticky just seems a lot of work

You mean you trimmed off your fan leafs? What do you mean you gutted your plant? If you think you're going to get bigger buds by trimming leafs think again buds don't need light leafs do the leafs take in the sunlight, the plant makes the energy, and feeds the buds to make them fatter, without those leafs you'll just be gimping your final harvest weight.

I dry and cure my popcorn buds, (I just cut them off the stem, no trimming), then I decarboxylate them. I then use them and the sugar leaves to make dry sift, butter, tinctures and anything else I might need. I hope you were talking about the "hash bin" instead of the "trash bin"!
