Best Time To Trim Marijuana?

[OrganicPro]

when is the best time to trim the weed? Fresh as soon as you cut it? Or is it better to wait until it's fully dry. I've heard both sides and some say to NOT trim when wet because of something with the chlorophyll. I'd like to ask you guys, and see what y'all think.

You are asking a question that has brought this forum to a furry of absolute positions.
Many passionate farmers who attempt to deeply understand their plants have come down on both sides of this question. And once down, they seem to become more convinced of their stance.

I don't think it matters a fig.

Try both ways but it depends on the strain i think.

I cut off anything that doesn't have visible trichs appearing. Then hung in branches. After drying for 10 or so days it gets trimmed then put into turkey bags and then dried with it open for another few days up to a week. Then the jars and burping, another week or two... It just depends on your style. Giving a longer dry gives a more quality product with more terp preservation.
But yes do both for your own preference. What works for some doesn't work for others.

Don't use humity packs (boveda, ect) they take the terpene's and essential oils out of the product - do a side by side cure and then you will know what i mean -
