I don't want to trim the leaves and just hang the plant upside down because I want the leaves to dry to for other uses. Is that OK?

your going about this the wrong way. cut the leaves off, and there still dry to make hash or watever. the bud's not gonna dry properly under all the leaves.

Sounds good, thanks for the help. Just curious if anyone tried this method.

You can cut the leaves off before drying the plant or not. Some growers prefer to just hang the entire plant, largest fan leaves and all. This is the slowest way to dry, because the mainstem is intact, and all of the attached leaves hold moisture. So if you want to hang your plants for 2-3 weeks until dry, then hang them whole.

If you want to remove the leaves first, while still fresh, you can just put them into a paper shopping bag to dry. Shake the bag every day for the first week.

Will you lose any thc, due to using the paper bag and shaking it?
