Im not closs to harvest but I was thinking the other day about this. Im woundering whats better, just hanging the all plant and drying, than trim after or triming all and hang it and dry?

This is one of those questions that can start an all out war between people. I have personally done both and my personal opinion is that wet trimming makes things easier, but leaving the sugar leaves on during drying, and then dry trimming, has resulted in better and smoother tasting flower. So, in short, I find dry trimming to be more work, but I think the difference in the end product is worth it for a personal grow.

I remove as many fan leaves as possible right before/at harvest then hang whole branches. Ive done a full dry trim and the fan leaves were the shitty part imo.
Most of the trimming I do passed that is just cutting buds off branches and knocking off a few of the bigger sugar leaves. Its all for personal use so I leave a good bit of the frosty sugar leaves on there and just smoke those too.

I probably should have clarified that I do remove the fan leaves. I only leave the sugar leaves.

That's an excellent way to do it for personal use...The sugar leaves act as a wrapper as they dry, and hell, if they are covered in trichomes why not smoke them too....especially of you use a vaporizer!

I completely trim everything wet...I pluck the fan leaves by hand, then trim the sugar leaves and save them for bubble hash....but I do this all on the stem, like 6"-12" chunks, and then remove from stem when close to being dry enough to bag.

I like it mostly because im a lazy shit. lmao
I like being able to just pluck or cut buds off the stem and throw them in the bowl. pulled over 4lbs yesterday and had to do a vast majority of it by myself
Trimming is by far my least favorite part so I do a lot of stuff with that in mind down to how much I defoliate them after flip.

Yeah, I stopped smoking about a year ago and vape my flower. One of the best things about vaping flower is even the larfy shit is great to vape as long as it has bee cured and dried properly.

:eyesmoke::joint::lol:wow all this made me abit confusing but I guess looking at magiority would do wet trim or just the fan leafs and leave the rest until dry trim

My experience has been just like TFC, wet trimming is much easier.
Dry trimming seems to give me a better smoke. I'm guessing it may be the result of having more foliage intact while the cola is drying.
So, I do dry hand trimming on the flower I intend to keep for my personal stash but the remainder of my crop gets a rough hand trim after drying and then is converted to oil.

i always wet trim the easy stuff, then dry the entire plant standing up, then leave it until its ready for a dry , and easy trim. i don't believe there is a wrong way to do it.

Dry trimming is not hard. Trim down, not up. Like how you break off a calyx cluster from the bottom, you pull down, not up, it just breaks off. I swear, people don't know how to break up a bud if they can't figure out how easy dry trimming is (or that trimming should be done by the end user since bag appeal is a late 20th century back alley marketing gimmick that simply makes the trim and the bud less flavorful)

We pull all the big leaves before we chop.. then hang upside down on lines. After its dry we knock off the majority of the leaf while cutting off the stems. Then we jar it up. We burp the jars until its perfect!
