Well, after putting 6 plants in bags- I can tell you that I feel this is an inferior method of drying. I will not be doing it again.

so whats your preferred way? hang dry whole plant then dry trim?

It’s a funny thing. Everybody has their preference. For years I hung dry slowly pulling leaves slowing for a nice slow dry. Then full trim And jarred burped and all that to keep around 58-60% rh. Then I tried full trim straight into a paper bag checked 5 days later either left or put into jars and all the good curing stuff go burping ... I now trim and dry in paper bags then to a jar. Paper bag method seems to keep the terps. After 5-7 days in the bag I can take a small sample and it has decent smell and taste. Still gets better and sometimes changes after a good long cure but u dont have to wait two weeks to. A month to get some flavor. Do some side by side and see what u like better. There r more methods also. There is an area somewhere here on drying and curing methods. Good luck have fun experimenting hope u find the way that works best for u.

I got one guy saying bags suck. Another guy likes em. LOL. Crazy.

I have a plant about to cut and I think I'll hang half and dry trim it. And I'll wet trim the other half and bag it. Will see which is better a month later!

Yeah best way to do it. Everybody’s different and has different environments and needs. I find it easier to trim right away I also find the bugs hold the smell in more so so the house doesn’t fill up with odors. For me easier to conceal some paper bags then a bunch of big plants hanging lol.

Mmm that rosin looks wonderful. Nice work.

Great advice. Can only experiment.

I think I was just pissed and under analyzed my thoughts. Both methods work about the same for me id say. I’m just always looking to perfect my craft, of course.
