Touching buds while drying

Does touching the buds at all while they’re drying reduce potency? I’ve been checking them daily and touch the odd one from time to time. Should I just leave them alone and focus on snapping a stem to determine if they’re dry enough?

Hey Growmie, I wouldn't advise doing it because the oils from your finger could rub off your trichomes, which will mess with the potency if you have to touch them touch one only and yes focus on the stem snapping to determine if it's dry enough. Hopefully, this answers your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

You wont knock off any noticable amount of trichomes. You should handle them as little as possible but when you need to, you need to. Checking on the rate of drying by giving it a gentle pinch is fine. Use gloves if you got them.

Its not a significant reduction, but avoid touching it all the time Stay lit growmie.
