Wet Trim vs. Dry Trim

[9fingerleafs]

As a person making a living from growing dank buds and selling them at a high price just for the quality; I personally have found that wet trimming diminishes the bud quality and smell. It dries not just quickly but the wrong way. It dries up from all the open tissue connected by the plants circulatory system. Meaning the branch looses water way too quickly. You need that moisture reservoir to keep the buds from drying to quickly.
the same goes with trichomes. Leaves make a moisture cocoon that protects terpenes and trichomes from evaporating and drying the outer layer of the trichomes so quickly that it rips open and the trichome oxidizes and the terps fly out. Gotta mention I got full control of my drying room and keep at 60% rh 22-24C

Wet trim. I got tired of seeing beautiful, tiny crystals go flying everywhere when dry trimming.

FWIW, Two thumbs up for CannaBrush! I bought one on a lark after watching their videos and was delighted to see how well it worked on "Properly Dried" bud. Emphasis on the drying part, no good until the bud pop off with no strings.

If its low humidity dry trim and if high humidity wet trim.

I feel like dry trimming is better for me. I like to get as much of the leaf off as possible and it feels easier that way. I also like that it takes a little more time to dry. I got a bowl leaf trimmer that works pretty good on bigger buds, and a Cannabrush for everything else. Both cut off a lot of time on my meticulous trimming. And if I over dry it I just soak a stem (or a few) in water for a little while and it goes in the jar too until it's around 64-65%. That eliminates the Boveda packs that some say makes the weed taste different. I never noticed personally, but I stopped using them anyway.

Wet trimming always. Easier to get all the sugar leaves before they dry and curl into the bud.

MrPNW Yes, I was pretty well stoned. Haircuts came to mind.. Oops.

I’m not seeing the ability to delete answers. You should have just said you were stoned.

I was thinking of hair cuts when hit button

Hit the wrong button! I agree with you, trimming when wet, just picked is easier!
Can I change my vote 🤩
