Is there a noticeable difference in terps and stickiness if you dry the whole plant vs cutting off the branches?

I’ve only ever hung branches, I’m interested in what others have to say.

I haven’t noticed a difference, high temps and low humidity would be detrimental. I hang the whole plant with leaves when my lung room RH is low and trimmed branches when the RH is around 65% or slightly higher 🤟

I trim the fans and hang them whole. Nothing to do with terps, I just think it makes it dry more evenly than hanging small and large branches. Temp and humidity between 60-65 in lung room. Usually 9-11 days drying….
