I fully trim wet, cut into single buds, one layer deep in paper grocery bag, rolled down twice and pinned shut. Into the tent usually takes me 4 days, with bigger dense buds, I open bag every 24 hours to turn them so I don't get flat spots, but yes, you still get that fresh grass smell lightly for the first week in the jar, but the smells come back quicker this way, I still like an 8 week cure minimum on mine. And yes directly into bags after harvest and trim
