No....what the labs are saying is that wet trimming damages the plants so much that they are easily contaminated by just basic contaminants in the air, not necessarily from a growing environment, but really just any environment at all. Just a cough or mold in the air will take hold on a plant damaged by wet trimming and especially by wet trimming by machine. They said think of it like a living organism...which of course a plant is. You cut it down creating a wound that ultimately kills the plant but even after it is cut the tissues are slowly dying and still have chemical transactions taking place. Then if you wet trim you essentially put 1000's of wounds on the plant and each wound if you will is a vector for contamination by pretty much anything and that is what they are seeing....mold, e coli, salmonella....you name it. It took multiple failed labs on the parts of some of the bigger rec grows here for them to start saying hey...what is going on here??? So...a person could still wet trim but it should be in a very controlled clean uncontaminated environment which lets face it...is hard to manage unless you have a sterile lab. Kind of important data for us all to know and who would have without mandatory testing like is required with recreational growing here?In the gorge are u saying not only trimming wet the damage ..but also doing it in the same enviroment as growing plants was contaminating ? Thanks M
