Thats what ive learned now! Cut as much off as possible before dried up! It woulda been easier then, but i didn't realize that then. So i guess i shouldn't worry about a few smaller leaves still in the buds? I was just worried about cutting hairs and damaging crystals!!! Its day four of drying and they don't realy smell like anything dank more like hay or grass!? Why is this? Are they drying to fast? This is my first plant sorry if these are stupid questions.
