I'm about ready to harvest, and this is my first time growing. my question is on trimming the buds. I've decided to dry trim and am just wondering how picky I need to be about removing the sugar leaves. Do I just trim them in even with the buds or do I try to dig in and get the sugar leaves off right into the stem?
Trimming question.

It depends on the end result you are looking for - I personally don't trim too close because it takes a lot of time, I don't care what they look like and they all end up in the same place anyway. I trim wet because everything is still standing up and then I bud wash. That's just me - you will get a variety of responses. Good luck!!!

I had an unsupported smaller branch break off Friday, so it cut that and wet trimmed it today. You are right, it does take a lot of time! Whats the purpose of a bud wash and how do you do it? Also if you wet trim do you still get kief thru a screen in a trim tray or is everything too sticky?

I don’t trim to close either. I also dry and wet trim. I always remove larger leaves and ensure no buds are touching or to tight against one another. I’ve had a few to close together and mold appear.
To answer your fan leaf question. I find it easier to to deal with the remaining stem portions after it’s dry. Like @greenjeans said, it all ends of in the same place anyways

Bud Washing
First off, I did not come up with the idea of washing buds as part of harvest. I'm not sure where the idea originated, but I learned of it via Curso and DocBud. :Namaste: I've read with interest as several members have tried this technique. The idea already appealed to me on a logical level...
