hang the whole plant. put a small fan under it for a few days. whole plants take a little bit to dry even in low RH. Or big branches with most of the leaves on still.
I dry trim and I am pretty sure we deal in the same quantities. Mine gets de boned and put in turkey bags when dry on the line after a couple weeks, and then in to a big trash bag. I am still trimmin flowers from a run 6 weeks ago, and the flowers look/smell perfect. 2/week is easy to do by yourself and keeps a steady stream of donations going to pay the bills. By the time I am done trimming the next round is coming down.
I just chop the whole plant and hang it. Always in a dark room, temps in the low 60's, rh is 40 or less. A couple of oscillating fans and in 7 days or less it feels bone dry. Then I have the trimmers, cut all the nugs down off the stalks into those Rubbermaid 54 gal bins. I run only OG so this is very easy. The buds, although seemingly bone dry will rehydrate once all together in the bin. As the trimmers trim, they will fluff the bins once a day to start the curing a bit. Always top shelf. I do this for my outdoor as well and it pays off. We trimming, machines, etc all are lower quality.
Lots of good info here.
Mines a simple two stage process. I defoliate the marority of anything with a petiole. Then chopped into 2' sections and hung in 70 deg and 50%+ until the buds feel like a stale msrshmellow...firm but squishy just a bit on the outside.
Trim off all bracts and buck down into cvaults for curing. Done and done.
I like simple, IMHO the only way to go, "Be a simple Man" as the song goes.
This process comes after trying every combo of wet and dry trimming. If u have the time and the space, a multi stage dry trim is the ticket. Keep all ur smell and taste not to mention all the trichs. As soon as u snip a bud and see the mist in the air your losing terps.
Dry trim only for top shelf.
Good point gray.People are easier to manage around wet bud IME. dry buds can lead to sampling and deals at the end of the day which sucks if your tired from working and not in the mood for that type of thing .
Growing 30 plants outdoors I could never be able to trim wet because of the volume and not enough trimmers. Also it is so sticky the trimmer is fighting a lot more scissor hash where when trimming dry I find it much easier. I use a Trimpro copy to knock off the shade leaves and a little more and hang until seasoned and then hand trim "top shelf" and run the small stuff through a manual "Spinpro". I finished early this year because of some extra family help back in November, but some years I am still trimming thi time of the tear.This process comes after trying every combo of wet and dry trimming.
