I get it. I thought people were misting their plants to get them wet, and then doing the trimming. :dunce: lol I was thinking that was a good way to get mold started.

I prefer to wet trim and use fiskers but the old timers will tell you dry trimming is better . As it dries slower making taste better and the small leafs left on protect the trichlomes from light and trim damage when dry trim.. I find it all trims the same and one method isn't easier then the other . What I do find is it can become to dry if you don't have enough help to get it in a jar after hung.

Watching the Duch Passion Seed Company tutorals, they recomend dry trimming.

I trust they know a thing or two about the growing and harvesting of cannabis.

Hence, I will be dry trimming for my first crop, due in a month.

I'll purchase some Fiskers ;-)

I agree with this in theory, but I find trimming dry too tedious. If I have only a couple large "special" colas stored in gal jars, I will wet trim about half and leave the rest on until I pick to smoke. I like to think it's better but who knows?

personally, I found i Cant get a tight enough trim wet. After they dry the bud shrinks and i still have small pieces of unattractive leaves/stems on there. personally suprised this many ppl do it wet, as soon as i tried dry trimming i felt it was so much easier. one thing about trimming wet i dnt like is your bud dries too fast, and you have to jar the asap when there ready, let them go a day longer, and too dry. I also felt trimming dry was way easier, because i can trim at my leisure. if the buds are ready to cure, ill start curing with the leaves on. No need to rush and get it all done, which is the big reason i prefer. Wet trimming, too was always a mess, cleaning gunk off your scissors every 20 minutes, still get a little gunked dry but not as much. after spending 8 hrs a day trimming wet, and then finding they could still use another haircut after the dry, I wont do it again.

And this is the truth. It's why dry trimming is the best. Sorry if u hate me. But it's the truth.

Dry trim with yardworks scissors. 3 pairs. 1 looks like needle nose pliers. 1 is curved 1 is wider and curved. I prefer to do it dry because it slows the curing time down. It also acts like a cocoon and lays over the buds to protect them when drying. It's fucking a pain in the ass both ways but prefer to get em tight and looking right.

If you want full melt bubble hash, you have to trim wet.
I use a table top trimmer and then finish it with curved, spring scissors.

Probably because it's stickier before drying.

I have no problem making great hash from dry trim. I'm not s anal about making the cleanest hash possible. Just as I wouldn't use wet bud, it's not finished yet. I remove most fan leafs after two days of hanging the entire plant or large parts of it up side down. If 'I' cut the sugar leafs it dries too fast, more hay smell and taste, but that depends on your drying method and environment as well. In fall I cut more leafs to avoid mold.

You can't make full melt bubble hash with dry leaves. The leaf material breaks up and gets in the hash lowering the quality. you can make fine hash, but not full melt.

The reason wet leaf is better for hash is because the leaves stay intact. Less leaf material in the hash is better hash.

The best tasting/smelling pot I have smoked has been wet trimmed. I'm not saying one is better than the other.

Some people do not trim at all. :shock:
It is easy to crumble off the leaves before smoking if you are too lazy to trim.
