There's nothing easier than trimming bud while it's still wet.

I'm a wet trimer. Haven't tried dry even.
I love a dry trim. I remove large leaves when I hang them. My theory is that I want the buds to shrink before I manicure them so I don't end up taking off more than I have to.
Me and my crazy theories.
I also think that they look nicer.

That's what makes freebies so awesome! It's often strains you'd just scroll by, so it almost forces you to try the 'not so popular' strains and they often are hidden gems
I don’t mind eithier or really . But I am used to trimming fairly wet myself .
I hate trimming....wet, dry, any of it. HATE IT!!

I am with you Van... anymore I only trim off the largest fan leaves, and then usually the bottom fan leaf on each bud set and I am done! The only time I even consider trimming is if a large portion of the sun leaves end up with no trichomes and then I cut off their tips, but that doesnt seem to happen much any more. Not having to work so hard just to get in the drying tent, I can now chop a plant, trim the little that I need to, wash it, cut out the individual branches for hanging, weigh it and actually hang the whole plant up to dry, in less than an hour.

You have good points too. There is something to a good looking bud huh?I love a dry trim. I remove large leaves when I hang them. My theory is that I want the buds to shrink before I manicure them so I don't end up taking off more than I have to.

Especially if you are sharing and don't want your friend to know you are growing. If you break out the non -manicured stuff, they tend to ask questions or say things about it looking home grown.
I have gone more to plucking. Its faster and if you do it when a plant has been watered recently its really easy and the leaves just snap off. If you catch it on the dry side, it can have stringy strands that are hard to pull off. I go in about 4 or 5 days before a harvest and start plucking, and keep hitting for 10-15 minutes a couple times before 'chop' day. Then when I chop....I cut the colas, bring them upstairs, pluck any remaining fan leaves and thats a wrap. On rare occasion where I have a real leafy plant...I will have to do a little trimming. On those occasions, I do it after I the bud wash and a 2-3 day hang dry (when I cut the bud off the stems). Did I mention how much I hate trimming?

That's a good tack.
Yeah right up until you grind it up. I do like the keep a few prime buds that look real nice for when I have friends come over. Other wise, I don't care what it looks like if its just me LOL, its getting ground up or squished!

That's the ticket.
Maybe I'll only manicure half this time, if my OCD doesn't kick in and I go all Edward Scissorhands on them.

You're up real soon again. This weekend?
I haven't looked at them today. I expect this weekend that they should be ready to go.
I'll know more when I look at them tonight.
Haha see I can see for your size harvest but ya small dogs find it relaxing crank tunes glove up and grab s drink or medicate heavy. Never be angry again lol
Honestly man, its more about the pain and discomfort in the back, neck, and shoulders. If it didn''t hurt so much, I wouldn't mind it.....especially when high.
