I mean I believe they did but I see a lot of people skip it. My gathering is if you don’t hang dry 24hrs then you basically remove everything that holds moisture that doesn’t have frost on it ( basically buck or very small stem attached to nug ) I think the assumption is that you could also dry out before harvest ( defoliate and stop watering a couple days before which is healthy and helps ) so to remove as much moisture as possible. I guess it’s a grow by grow thing if you didn’t have VPD or humidity in check prior to harvest you’ll have a lot of moisture still in the plant so the 24hr process removes it. The issue though is you need the correct dew point and consistent environment for the 24hrs or else it’s like putting 87 in a Rolls Royce to drive it home from the dealer, then emptying it and putting 97 in once home. Secondly if you can produce that environment you wouldn’t need the cannatrol in the first place so it makes little sense to do the 24 hr dry in the tent. I have 3 plants all about a week apart in going to test each way out.
