hubaba,
I was reading my biggest grow book last night, getting ready for my harvest. It said there is a two sided arguement to trimming close and not trimming close and the book discussed pros and cons over 4 pages.
It said
Leaving some trim leaves also leaves trichomes, which help protect the bud from insects and fungus. But leaving leaves is where the bad taste of nutrients remain too. You also risk bud mold by leaving larger trim leaves and drying and curing takes longer too. Drying and curing is more risky with leaves still on the buds.
Closely manicuring will leave tasier buds, or sweeter tasting buds, since nutes were strored in the leaves. But close manicuring is less weight and those trim leaves do contain a high percent of THC if covered in trichomes. And Trimming close gives better looking buds, and less drying and curing time too. Trimming close is less risky.
There's two sides to everything I guess.
I have often told people I do not flush my grows and my buds taste sweet and do not have any fertilizer taste. I am learning it might be because I trim so close, I cut every bit of leaf off becuase I want to make hash.
