Trim wet or dry?

[Gamechanga12]

I pull all fan leaves before harvest but not sure should I hang to dry then trim or trim first then hang to dry?

I always found its easyer to trim wet vs try to trim currled up dried leaves.

Do you leave on branches and trim then hang?

I used to do wet trim but time and experience has led me to dry trimming. I just remove fans and hang till dry, then trim. The plus side is a better taste and smell profile.

Yank the fan leaves then hang dry then trim. Much better results then wet trim

I'm thinking of switching my whole weekly regiment to de-fanning, then trimming when it's dry. I currently do it all in a shot

De-fan then trim dry for best results.

I always got the feeling I was ruining buds when I trimmed dry

I de-fan then give the buds a very quick once over by trying to trim back just the greenest parts of the bud leaves. then I hang. I feel like my final trim material has a little better quality for making concentrates and its a tiny bit easier to final trim.

I like to trim the fans, and the larger leaves wet.. Hang um.. Then take them to the salon for a touch-up before they hit the mason jars..

If you're trimming while wet, you could also trim the buds off the stem then just put everything on a dry rack. Saves a ton of space typically.

For years I've done wet, just here recently I've done the dry trim the past 2 harvest. Here's my take wet trim is easier and took longer to get hay smell gone. On dry trim is a little harder but damn the smell and taste is way better. So in the end dry is better a little more work but worth it...
