Very interesting post indeed, I hope to see your results posted in the future. I just harvested a grow and trimmed them as they were still in the pots, had 3 of them that were ripe to my liking. After a few hours of trimming and smoking a bowl here and there, then getting munchies looking for a better position to get in. They stayed in the pots for a few hours after a clip. They were hung for 9-14 days hanging and got the usual grass smell as they hung. The grow was Geleto#33, Sour D and Amnesia. The funny thing was the buds for the Sour D had no smell, but now after being in the jars curing, the are now smelling like a gasoline smell to it now and the other 2 are very punget smell to them. Hoping to see how the final result of them will be.
Interesting, i think ill be trying multiple methods of trimming and drying this round. Sounds like your friends theory is the same as mine - instead of the brix content evaporating out through the open wounds, it becomes concentrated in the calyxes as the water evaporates.Seems like it would be a real pain to wet trim everything while it's still in a pot.
I was a wet trimmer for years until recently and will never go back. Dry trimming is easier, faster, less messy, and produces a better product without any hassle of trying to trim while the plant is still potted and growing... But it's an interesting theory. And I like interesting theories.
Friends of mine have a theory that one of the reasons dry trim is superior, is the high brix sap in the stems is drawn into the flowers as it evaporates through the stoma, increasing the brix of the flower. And most people are aware that higher brix is correlated with a higher level of terpenes and essential oils.
I'm with you I trim while they're still in the pot and back in for a night or 2 to let some of the inner buds get more light and ripen up a bit more. I also find it easier to trim while they're living. I stand them on my plant bench sit in a chair and spin the plant as needed. I can cut the leaves off closer to the stem while they're still standing straight out and when drying they don't hide moisture behind them allowing mold to form.My personal preference is to start trimming 7-10 days before harvest and tidy up in the trim bin.
That being said I grow autos and don't have much to trim.

Op offers a loaded statement. "Since we all know pigs are gay, why are pigs gay". No pigs are not gay so you can't get a valid answer. Wet trimming loses quality because fatty acids in the plant produce pest injury signals rather than human desirable derivatives.
Here's a proposed question that's NOT loaded with a false statement: Hay/grass doesn't smell stronger than skunk/armpit /sewer/rotting corpse, so why do so many growers of such strains have a hay smell for some weeks after harvest? Answer: Injuring the plant changes composition of fatty acid derivatives to produce pest predator attracting signals rather than pothead attracting signals.
