I'm sure most of us here are familiar with this debate, yes? Probably been talked about for as long as religious beliefs, and still I have seen no proof. Lol. I decided to run a small side by side comparison... Started wet trimming one of my 4' GD Purps and the shoulder pain kicked in after a few hours, slow recover from a torn rotator cuff, so I decided to stop where I was and hand pulled the bigger leaves on the rest of the stems. More than half has been wet trimmed and the rest will get a dry trim. I've never really noticed a difference in either method, and am curious to see if there will be one. I'd like to get some folks in here and start up a conversation on the two methods. I'll be posting updates during the dry and cure, and a final conclusion once I'm finished.

Drying time UPDATE- 12 hours Wet trim- smells fresh.. Not trimmed- skunky.. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk
You say dry trim is better quality? Care to elaborate? I just finished trimming the dry, decided to jar everything up, it's been 3 days and alot of crispy, usually don't wait for a snap in the stem, will check up on jars around 10... 6 hours after jared. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk
Anytime I've ever done side by side the dry stuff smokes better. I feel like when you're wet trimming, you're cutting open all this live plant tissue thats full of water/chlorophyll and you just end up spreading that all over your nugs. When you trim dry, the chlorophyll has been locked out since theres no water to carry it anywhere.
yea dry trim is the way to go. I used to wet trim but when I switched to dry trimming I noticed a considerable better smell coming from finished curing buds. plus trimming dry over screens gives you a nice collection of damn near pure gland heads on the bottoms screen. drysift beats bubblehash any day of the week.
I think I'll have to agree on the dry trimming, was lucky enough to do half wet and the other half dry, I mixed them together in cure, smell is getting better slowly but surely. After I finish the last girl in flower, I'm starting everything anew, moving some things around and going to try mainlining in veg. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk
Initially they were separated... They have been mixed these last couple days, only gave it 3 days and the smell and humidity made me decide to pull everything out to air, then jared everything back but mixed up. It's made a huge difference so far. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk
