If you clip dry its harder to get the fan leaves clipped at the stem on the solid nugs. Its easier when wet because you can really massage the nugs to get all the junk off. If you clip them and hang them it just takes longer to dry because the plants will still absorb all that stem weight. Chop em down, clip em, hang each clipping by string, keep it dark and use a fan. Dry in 3 days most of the time...... That's what I do, others prefer different of course =)
