i just can tell you how I do it.
If I have small Plants i trim them wet and cut it into the nuggets, and let them precure on a moderate place, where its not to cold or humid
if i cut down large PLants i do wettrimming too, but i let the nuggets on small branches and hang them on a clothes rack , or a cardboardbox, where i mounted some cords to hang them up
after precuring for 10-14 days,,, i put them into jars and open the jars daily
the signal when they are dry enough to debudd and put into jars is, if the branch breaks with aloud snapping sound
you can look into my shaman grow... there are pictures of the cardboardbox
