should i hang the entire plant upside down for a day or two before i cut the branches off and hangthem upside down individually? i feel like all the juices in the main stem rush to the buds when upside down. what do u guys think
Hanging the entire plant upside down after cuting? smart or no?

I don't think it will hurt, but it will probably that a few more days then normal because of all the water thats left it the whole plant instead of a single branch.

It will make no difference. Those juices are full of sugars, which are the main harshness agents in uncured bud. You'll be curing to remove them by fermentation. But since weed moves its sap by capillary force and not gravity ... no harm or benefit. cn

i usually remove fan leaves and trim the buds before chopping the main stak. then hang upside down to dry because thats the way the branches allow it to hang over a string.
some people think that by hanging before trimming that the trichs will be protected by the leaves that will hang down over the buds.

I either let the plant dry in the pot or hang it upside down, trimming it first. The reason for this is just that it is easier.
Hanging a shitload of buds is a pain and not necessary imo. Trimming wet is the way to go for me, but I delay the drying by keeping the plant in one piece and in the pot often. Comes out great this way.

Might give that a try .. just trim plant when its still in pot and let dry out for few days? Then straight into jars?

i have tried it but still prefer the traditional branch-by-branch hanging method
kinda messed with the drying process for me

My variation is: prune a branch when I'm ready to fully trim it. I typically have a living but shrinking plant for a few days. I too much prefer to trim the bud while the leaves are fresh, springy (technically: turgid) and easy to manage.
Since my harvests are small, I use a cooking bowl with a plate as a dust cover for initial drying. (I break it all the way down to nugs first. I've had no advantage keeping it on the stick.) Then a slow cure in Ball jars. cn
Yea my first harvest isnt going to be tons so might go with that thanks man
