Harvesting question, about shake.

So i just cut these ladies down four days ago. And i am saving the shake. I have left it on to dry, but now its starting to curl around the buds. I am worried that the fan will not be as effective to dry the buds, and maybe subject to mold or rot. should i cut these leaves off and screen dry them?

thanks

i'd definently remove the leaves, better airflow = quicker dry just make sure to keep temps moderatly low. Can't put those trimmings it in a cup or saucer on a screen to dry? Every leaf i've cut from my plant so far, i have sitting in a dish inside my cabinet with another dish on top allowing them to dry.

Any reason to keep them on besides extra weight? No reason you can't trim and dry them seperately to make hash.

Then again i havn't harvested yet, and this is my first grow.....

Yeah i trimmed them up after hanging for three days. And it was ALOT harder to trim them this way. Anyway, think i got some good shake there...
