Drying with leaves

Wet trimming may cause chlorophyll to exsorb into the plants, so in my opinion it's better to leave the leafs on the plants

It's best to do slow dry. So leaving leaves on is ideal if you don't have machines to dry it for you. Just keep in the dark with humidity under 60 percent and above 50 percent. Temp around 65°F

It all depends on your area or time of the year. For my last harvest I left 90% of the remaining leaves on to slow down the drying process. Harvest before that I removed 90% of the leaves. Its something you will learn relative to the time of year.

Hello friend, it is better to remove it. . Later is going to be easier to trim plant and drying is safer when remove at least big fan leaves. Also tis way you remove a chance off mold if branches and leaves touching itch other when drying. Try to maintain RH at reasonable conditions 50-60% and everything is going to be fine, even better without big and used/damaged leaves

Some people do leave them but I don't recommend it, it tends change the aroma of the flower in my opinion like grass or hay when the chlorophyl brakes down. 60 at 60 temp and RH or as close to possible for about 10 days till the branches snap like twigs good to go.unless you using all your bud for bubble hash then you can leave everything on and chuck it in the freezer. BEST OF LUCK, KEEP THEM GREEN!!

it's an option to effect drying times... if you need to extend it, it's a good idea. This is 100% relative to your local environment, specifically temp and RH. a reason not to... any mold or other similar pathogens? if so, not a good idea.. if the leaves are clean and healthy it's no problem. it'll just slow down drying process, which may or may not be a good thing depending. definitely take them off before any long-term storage of the buds.

Depends on the size of the buds and drying conditions in my experience. From the looks of it, you wont have an issue leaving those on since the yield is not massive. If it were more to dry I would say remove them so they can dry better. But in your case, they would likely dry too quickly, unless you are dealing with high humidity, in which case you should remove them. Dry at 60 degrees F and 60% humidity for 1-2 weeks until small branches snap. Then wait another day and trim.
