Trimmed..Cut Now or 24, 48 hrs?

[shadypeeks]

Just trimmed a small 8 Miles High. This is my first plant ever grown. Should I leave it in the dirt for 24-48 hours for the plant to suck out the nutrients from the flowers or just go ahead and chop and dry?

Looks good man, honestly my instinct would be to chop. Did you flush it well enough? Generally maybe wait until after you flush to defoliate quite that much. IMHO you run the risk of popping some little stress crap on the nugs from defoliating that much and then leaving it. I remember a guy many many years ago that used to basically trim his whole room on the plant and then leave them for awhile. If I remember right it was fine, but honestly standards where a lot lower then.

thanks bro. I only fed her 2 rounds of slight nutes during her flower and have given her only reg. water for the past 2 weeks so a specific 'flush' shouldn't really be necessary... (I suppose).

My working theory is that if I trim off all of the leaves and keep her planted for another day or so is that she will dry a bit and use up all of the nutrients and chlorophyll remaining in the stalk and inside the buds. Sounds reasonable to me.
