I trim mine down while wet on the branches, then just hang the branches. I clip 'em to clothes hangers and hang them on one of those folding clothes drying racks. I tried the brown bag bit, but I prefer to dry the buds without them laying against anything. Keeps 'em shaped nice. I'm pretty aggressive on my trim (too aggressive, a friend says). I figure, even if the leaves have trichs on them, they're still going to be harsher than the bud, so off they go.
