1st trim - frosty leaf question

[oldjarhead100]

I trim fan leafs then into my bowl spinner and it trims all the rest, leaves buds looking great but if your making oil then who cares less work for you enjoy

Leave all the leaves with resin, nothing bad will happend and they will help to dry slowly

If you're not smoking it I wouldn't worry so much about trimming. I do smoke all mine and I really only remove fan leaves and just the tips of the sugar leaves so it has a nice shape.

Hello GWE community! I've been "learning" for about a year, and after a couple busts, I made it to my first full harvest... yay first I'd like to say that although this is my first post, I've been a lurker for several months and may have read every article on this site... I'm a nervous hobbyist this site has helped me feel sooooo much more comfortable with each shaky step I take with this endeavor!

I've come across a question that I haven't been able to find the answer to... should I keep the frosted leaves on or trim as close as I can get if smoking is not in the cards? I've read that it's personal preference on varying methods of trimming... we rarely smoke, I mostly make coconut oil and then treats... although I'll likely share at least *some* with folks who do smoke... for those, I'll trim close and neat... As for the rest, not concerned with aesthetics, more so if leaving frosty leaf attached will negatively affect the curing, potency, taste in oil? Attached a pic of the first 5% harvested and trimmed yesterday (yay 420)... Pineapple Express, ended up being super frosty... all leaves and stems were heavily frosted by the time she finished... hence my hesitation.
