For one it will definitely burn better as well as taste better. My buddy smokes s shit wet after every single harvest. Hell, he also sells it wet! I can't understand why people would even buy that shit wet. You would only get half the amount too compared to some dry buds.
Material that is completely dried, is also free of monterpenes, so tastes hashy.
For the highest mono terpene retention, we extract fresh frozen material. For day to day extractions, we extract after 5/7 days of hanging, or when the small stems snap.
