Depends on my drying and curing regiment. Currently, I cure on stick using 65 F degrees and 60% RH for 11+ days. With this setup I can afford to wet trim as I am not concerned about the buds drying out too quickly.

Wet trimming in a bowl for example goes waaaaay faster but the bud loses some of its shine. Dry trimming takes waaaay longer but the bud stays a lot better👍🏻

In my case, I like to trim by hand with good scissors!! I pull off the bigger leaves in the last two or three days. Then I try to trim as little as possible depending on the strain, only leaving the sugar leaves and a few small ones that, when they dry, curve to protect the bud and the trichomes from light and touch when we handle them! As I consume it, I clean it up, saving the leftover little leaves for extraction! Other times I trim it completely, even taking out the sugar leaves, which I also save for extraction! Leaving zero leaves so that the bud looks more attractive! I don't like trimming it dry because, in my opinion, a lot of resin is lost!! This is my humble opinion!! 🙏 It's great to exchange ideas, friends!! Best wishes and good luck with your grows!! 👋😎👍 🍀🍀🍀

Hey mate, perspective of a beginner here. My first grow I wet trimmed. My second series of grows I intend to dry trim. I struggle with raising humidity and so I want to dry untrimmed to slow the process down. I was not really happy with the way the dry or cure went with the wet trim so I am going to try it the other way.

I've done wet trim and I'm mean alot of wet trim over the years and I did a bit of dry trimming the last couple times and I found that dry trimming seems to knock off alot of trycombs and I feel that if they were wet they would stay in the buds and I wouldn't lose them..I had a friend of mine send me some pics today of his dry trimming of 4 beautiful plants and he used a trim bin and I was shocked to see all that keef and I just feel that he wasted alot of goodness that could have been left on the on the buds...It really made me think about what I want to do next time...Thats for sure...

I personally wet trim. I feel like it's a faster, less delicate procedure for me. Don't have to trim as close so I can power through more flower quicker. Then once it is dry it kinda finishes the trimming job for me as it gets bumped around between burping, curing, playing with it, the stuff I missed get knocked off anyways.

I've tried both over the years but I now do a two-part trim. I take off all the fan leaves - big and small - when I cut the plants down. I do this because the leaves carry a lot of moisture which which both increases the total drying time and makes the room itself more moist than it needs to be. Then I hang and dry the plants. Once dry, I then complete the trim. If I'm being lazy I'll use a trim bag (so it has to be dry for this anyway). If not I'll do it all by hand using "Chikamasa" scissors. I do the final trim it after it's dried because it's so much less sticky and gunky and overall less fiddly than when it's fresh. I use a trim bin for any hand cutting in the dry stage to collect the kief - another reason to do it dry for me, as I like to make extracts.
