    It partially depends on your drying conditions. If the humidity is to low, then use a dry trim after drying. If humidity is to high, use wet trim before drying. The rest is personal preference. I really like scissor hash.
    Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.

      Okay the humidity outside now is 79.
      And the humidity in my room is now 56. And I have the air conditioning on now. When I turn off and open my window it's usually 62 in the morning. But when I turn my AC on it's like between 40s and 50s.

      And also my temperature in my bedroom stays between 73F and 75F, it never goes above 79F.

      And most the time the humidity stays between mid 40s to mid 50s when I keep my AC on in my bedroom.

    And also I only have about at the most 30 grams on each flower.
    So I think it'll be much easier since I have drying bag and scissors I already ordered and humidity packs for the mason Jars. So I think it would be best if I did the wet trim. And then dry for 3 to 5 days. Then place into Mason jar. I hope this will work as they are really good looking buds that I can trim pretty easily with scissors.

      Trim according to your drying environmental conditions.

      If you are 60⁰F & 60%RH you can do either. If you have humidity typically higher than 60%RH then Id recommend wet trimming. If lower, dry trimming. It is relative to temperature though.

      You want a 7 day dry to bring the moisture content of the flower to 58 to 63% as measured as RH in the jar at 21⁰C.

      Dry trimming is much easier than wet trimming. Wet trimming is the cautious approach if you have big buds and concerned about mold. Ive had pretty high RH but only got mold drying bud when they were touching something.

      If its really dry and hot where you are, hang the entire plant roots and all. If it's wet and cold, break up the buds and dry on a drying rack.

        Personal preference this subject.
        I'm a wet trimmer, I know ppl who only trim fan leaves and dry trimmers but mostly wet trimmers. You get a much more even yet quicker dry when you wet trim I also love finger and scissor hash it's like the reward at the end of the trimming session, another thing to remember if you got sugar leaves in your mull it will be a harsher, straw tasting smoke, easier to get them off wet before they curl up into the buds. You could leave one plant and trim the other see what you think.

        Your humidity is fine for drying either way.
