Trimming wet or dry

So I'm going to chop today what do you think is the best option

Trim fan leaves hang to dry then trim the rest or
Trim all leaves and then hang

I always trim everything then hang to dry. Trimming wet is much easier than trimming dry.

24-48 hr dark period first.. Then I cut the fan leaves for trash, and the sugar leaves for the freezer. Then hang her up..

If you hang it up then trim dry it'll probs be last time you do. It is such an annoying, messy, ball ache of a job that would put anyone off growing!

Trimming dry is easy

Trimming fresh is Ok but once the leaves start wilting and shrinking it sucks

I will trim all fan leaves off them and take a branch at a time and trim. Have the stem to hold on to and keeps the flower a bit more moist for a slower dry. Not much but it is wet. After dry to my liking snip flowers off and put them in a jar.

i harvest a branch at a time and trim immediately. grab large fan leaves and snatch them against the grain (toward what would be the bottom of the plant), they snap right off. then proceed to trimming sugar leaves.

i also keep fans and sugar leaves in separate trim bags. makes hash easier, imo.

We used to wet trim but now we exclusively dry trim everything. We pull the colas and all larger water leaves. Leave all sugar leaf on the buds, Hang upside down on coat hangers stretched across the top in vented cardboard boxes (to keep some humidity in and dry slower). Leave 'em in the boxes for 7-10 days or so, depending on bud structure and density, Once the branches reach a point where they begin to snap and not bend we trim. Much, much easier and leaves a far better nose. Some of the positive differences for us include:

1) easier post-trim clean up. When wet trimming the wet leaves get crunched on the floor and leave green stains that have to be scrubbed up. Hard to get off too. Lots of work getting room ready for next run.

2) easier trim process. Less sticky leaves to deal with on the scissors. Many of the sugar leaves can be broken off and don't even need to be touched with scissors. I was skeptical at first but was convinced after first attempt a dry trimming.

3) sugar leaf trim is already dry when finished. No need to dry post-trimming before extraction of oils. Bag it and send it directly to the CO2 machine.

4) end product is noticeably better. Aroma (the "nose" of the weed) is far better than wet trimming. Leaving the sugar leaves on seems to retain more of the natural plant aroma as it drys. Our Skywalker OG and Super Lemon Haze are off the charts when it comes to their nose. Pop open a jar (or food grade bucket) and the aromatic goodness just slams you in the face.

Just my experience over the last several years... others may get different results but this works very well for us. No problem holding $$$ over $3k/lb even in this difficult market. Hard to argue the bud is not worth top $$$ when the frosty nugs stink up the entire store ...
