Trimming is a stupid concept. Leaves are between calyx clusters, the concept of removing the outer half beforehand and ignoring the inner half is just absurd. Just break off calyx clusters when loading your grinder, and remove 100% of the leaf at that point, keep a tin for leaf to make edibles from. You don't need any scissors or tweezers or anything.
Should go without saying but when you start at the bottom of the bud and pull clusters downward, the upper portion of the bud remains protected by the layer of leaf above the cluster you just removed. Out of all the dumb quirks people have with smoking and fears of damaging buds/trichs, this one actually makes sense.
That's what I've always done before. I have read that dry trimming can lead to more trichomes breaking off. What I am looking for here is ways to speed up what I am already doing. Better scissors (I like the micro tips and the large handled bonsai scissors), maybe a bowl trimmer for smalls, keeping extra clean scissors at the ready (in a shot glass of alcohol), clean storage bins for input and output, clean up the trim area before I start, trim bins seem like a wise choice, for my quantity one of those hanging mesh drying racks. What else? What slick little tricks do you use to speed up your harvest? I will be doing my own and helping at least 2 others.You always start your comment with an insult but still have not shown any credibility.
We use sharp micro tip shears to trim flowers. You must have seen a pair of fiskers with all your experience.
You just poke the tip in and cut bud leaves off at the base if they are in deep.
No one wants untrimmed bud so they can follow your silly advice.

Now there's something I had not considered! I find dry trimming harder, but what you just said makes so much sense I think I will go dry trim this time. Thanks!I use the fiskars bonsai shears with the big padded handle. For me much less fatigue and soreness.
And i dry trim for better quality on a screened trim tray to collect falling trichomes (kief).
With practice i can dry trim now as fast as wet trim. In my opinion wet trim damages way more trichomes (smears them) and you cant collect the keif.

We use the ipower bowl trimmer. The 2 of us will do about 10 lbs of wet buds per hour. And dosen't really look too bad imo.Anyone try the bowl trimmers? I am thinking about buying one of those for the small stuff and hand trimming the best buds.
