Trim when wet
Slow air dry for aprox 10 to 14 days...
I normal run a dehumidifier for first few days to lower RH, i live in damp part of world (average RH 60% to 70% indoors) & some times bud rot can occur when slow air drying the dense main colas...
Currently hanging buds in tent with with extraction fan running 24/7 & passive intake for slow air dry, direct air flow from a fan may cause uneven drying !
Dehumidifier lowers RH to average 50% to 55% for first few days, temps around 20c to 23c average, after that i turn dehumidifier off & slow air dry between 60% to 70% RH with temps between 18c to 20c...
Some 10 to 14 days later i find stem snap suitable for curing process of around another 2 weeks, burping jars twice daily for aprox 20 min's each time.
Drying to fast can trap chlorophyll & other pigments in the bud leading to a harsh taste... if the drying process is low RH the bud may crumble to easy so the curing process & correct storage of bud can restore suitable RH of bud for a good smoke
