So a friend tells me he met a kid who dries complete plants, then rough cuts it and shakes it in a cardboard box to "trim" it. I think I heard of this before as well to be honest. How prevalent is this style? The weed was good, hard nugs that resembled closely trimmed buds.....'cept no crystals on the outside. But I tell you, there are many days I feel like I would do this rather than properly trim.
Shaking weed to trim it?

I'm too small for machines, only a pound a month. Worst six hours of my month I tell ya. After 20 years of growing I have zero love for trimming anymore. Good music, good weed, allergy medicine and a massage afterwards gets me through it. I got bad feet so the 5 hours of standing kill me.
I don't think it is my style though, I don't trim that close. Some of the weed I am seeing it looks like they are trimming right into the bud. Like they are trying to give the bud a crew cut. I give mine 70's porn bush trim.

I don't know strain or whatever, but did you cut early, or did that plant have problems growing?
I had a plant look like that after a problem grow. It's still a great CBD high, but it definitely wasn't grown to it's potential.
Idk if you defol, but doing that through flower saves bank on time come trimming

I too prefer to retain those crystal castles. Guilty of retro 70's bush trim during the first week of drying.

I ran 15lbs of outdoor wet through the bowl in 4 hours. Buds turned out great, very strong, and had most of the tricombes.

I recently saw someone recommend the cannabrush for trimming. Its just a silicone brush like they use in kitchens but I imagine the silicone is stiffer. I tried using a silicone brush from my kitchen and it didnt work at all.
