So i have been doing a whole lot of research about trimming and when to do it. some sites including this one say it is best to trim once the bud is dried, others say you must trim before you dry the bud. .
I am looking for the advantages/disadvantages for both methods. I would think that trimming before drying would be more practical because i found that all the fan leaves just stick to the buds which makes them more difficult to trim.

P.S. Whats are your favorite scissors and where did you get em? i NEED me some spring loaders

i trim before drying m8 as wen dry its easy for all the trichs 2 fall off wen fcking about wit it. plus cutting it on the plant is so much easier. others will say as apositive for leaving it till drying that it leads to a better dry/cure as the fan leaves will hold moisture in buds for longer hence longer dry time ensuring the starches turn to sugars for that sweeet taste and avoiding the harsh grasssy tatse frm quick drying.

well that harsh grassy taste is chlorophyll, thats why when they dry they sap all the chlorophyll out of the buds, thats also why I say clip the leaves before drying

the grassy taste is from the starches m8 the chemical process takes 1 week to turn into sugars chlorophyll will also break down with the drying process .. and wat saps all the chlorophyll out of the buds again? do u mean the leaves do and if so then why is that a problem? surely thats a benifit? the prob i c wit trimmin wen dry is pullin the leaveds off the buds and taking trichs wit it!! not a prob if u gunna make hash wit the leftovers though

i trim after drying. i like the flavor much better. its a preference thing.

is it that much more noticable ? hmmmm maybe i should trim half before and half after. Lasy year i did the "Trim after" method and i remember all the fan leaves stickin annoyingly to the bud.

any local crafting store should have some spring loaded snipps that or walmart for sure. and i recommend trimming when wet the leaves are easier to cut i find

i trim fans befor hang about 3 or 4 days then trim final trim to box or to bag a few days then to jar
