Did you read my post above? When you are comparing your dry trimmed to your wet trimmed, how did you dry them each to compare? In what conditions and how many days?

It differs greatly for different climates. there cant be a set number of days as every growers/ dryers environment is different. I'm just sayin dont put weed in jars till dry. maybe if your rh is super low then the brown bag/ box is a good thing to do to get it ready for jars. And as far as bubble is concerned I like dry for that too. Check out matt rize on youtube. He uses dry trim and makes fullmelt and has coined his own brand thats he calls Icewax..... Even subcool says it is some of the best he has ever smoked

i prefer wet trim because i can really clean the buds up nicely giving them A+ bag appeal

I tried the dry trim when I began outside with too much to deal with , and quickly moved away from it......and then....the next yr......

We removed EVERYTHING on the vine that wasn`t nuggage while plants were still in the ground before chop and I never looked back ...especially after goin inside with smaller plants ....anyways....

There are no absolutes in this world , and I assure ALL here that by getting rid of as much chlorophyll BEFORE chop only helps the plants to prevent that "hay" smell and taste , and dry more evenly to develop their terpene profiles over a nice slow dry and cure till nugs are to that perfect 62% before bein jarred/bagged or whatever process for market.....regardless.....

Many ways ta skin a mule.....Dehuey`s and major air exchange ruled my finish process , as to where it`s prolly too dry for most folks with lower RH levels.....IOW......

All about dialin environment.......for growin em AND dryin em......My 2 cents from all them yrs....

Peace....DHF..........

dude thats wat i thought too lol.. my bag appeal on the wet shit was great.. but then .. like dhf said. id take off every leaf that had a stem and no crystals.. before the chop.. toss those in the trash.. then dry. an trim.. and i still have great bag appeal.. but now instead of people opening the bag to smell it.. i hand it to them and they smell it before they even See it lol. and the dry trim also helps with curing.. too u dont need to cure half as long!.. to regain smell

You need to learn how to cure than bud... Yes dryer material that is not trimmed smells more and nicer right after the hang, but if you cant sell cured bud, then your process is wack or your bud is shit.

I Wet trim, I love bubble, and I just freeze trimmings... And my weed is Dank, and REAKS and TASTE Sooooooooo nice "I am lucky to have alot of variety to compare too"

Not to say that Dry trim wont get you nicer or smeller bud, but to tell people on the site that wet trim is shit compared to dry is garbage... Cool post, get people trying new things, but lets be realistic here people this is not the magical fix everyone has been looking for, the; "A perfect cure every time" thread is!

but shit im not saying.. its a magical fix.. lol.. all im saying.. is .. if u feel ur buds dont have such a nice smell .. like they did wen they were growing.. try to hang dry then trim .. dry for 7-16 days.. trim .. jar up.. and see if it helps.. if it helps .. then GREAT.. but if not? then try something Else.


hey .. n i never said... that your wet trimmed weed was worse then my dry trimmed. i said MY dry trimmed turned out way better then My wet trimmed.. not in potency.. or looks.. just in the smell and taste department..

butttt so far. id rather take a few days or weeks to get my harvest trimmed dry.. then to trim it alll in a night wet... Thats how much difference in smell and taste im seeing...

I am a recent convert to dry trimming, and I doubt that I will ever go back to trimming wet. I think my dry/cure process is easier to manage in my situation when doing the dry trim, and I've been extremely happy with the results. For me, that means that recent harvests have dried slower and cured better, and have retained stronger taste and smell.

But then, I only grow personal-use quantities and am not likely to invest much time and effort into controlling the post-harvest environment like DHF suggests. If there was any financial incentive I absolutely would as I totally see where he's coming from, but for me I just want to do the best I can within the environment I have and in my case that means trimming after drying


YMMV

I wet trim because its just me to pull down the room. Once I raised my drying room to a constant 65-70 deg and 55+ %, and jar up just as the stems crack but the buds still a tad spongy, I found I could fine tune with just burping in 2 oz glass jars. Lots of them.

With that said, I would try a dry trim if I had more room but it all boils down to what's convenient for each grower. No two setups the same.

My question was comparing dry trimming versus wet trimming... how many days for each one in YOUR (or anyone claiming the difference) personal grow.

If you take a wet fan leaf and stick it in a quart canning jar, you will not get that hay smell.
If you cut the leaf in half before sticking it in you will get that hay smell almost immediately.

i had same time for dry.. i took them off the stem put into a container that let air in and out slower then just lettin them dry outside on a screen.. iunno i really saw a hugeeeeee difference so im stuck to it....... and dude ya i just pulled down like a 7 pound harvest.. that i will trim . 6 pounds myself
