This task <strong>consists in removing excess humidity<\/strong> and most of the chlorophyll content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently trimmed buds contain <strong>up to 75% of water<\/strong>, which needs to go down to <strong>10-15% within the following two or three weeks<\/strong>. Excess humidity from fresh buds stops them from burning properly; but at the same time, cannabinoids\u2019 content is at its highest. This happens because THC is still inactive (THCA); drying the cannabis buds is essential to activate this substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why we must choose the right methods to dry buds properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manicuring_the_Previous_Step_to_Drying\"><\/span>Manicuring: the Previous Step to Drying<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manicuring marijuana plants is fundamental to obtain <strong>perfectly dried and cured cannabis buds<\/strong>. You need to remove leaves, branches and other leftover bits from all the plants. By doing so, marijuana plants will be clean and free from those big leaves that are <strong>poor in trichomes<\/strong> and produce a sharp smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it is possible to <strong>manicure the buds after drying them<\/strong>, most growers do it beforehand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Manicuring.jpg\" alt=\"Manicuring\" class=\"wp-image-141780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Manicuring.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Manicuring-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Manicuring-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a quality manicure, you\u2019ll need a pair of slim-tipped shears, gloves and a few trays to separate the leftovers. Once the big leaves are gone; it is time to continue with the sugar leaves and remove the tips that stand out of the buds.

However, if the use of these devices is unavoidable, they should never be directed towards the buds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Although some growers dry their buds inside<strong> cardboard boxes, we don&#8217;t recommend it<\/strong> as this method could affect the quality of the yield. It also increases the risk of fungi infestations.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During the drying process, it\u2019s a good idea to <strong>prevent branches from touching one another<\/strong>.
