How close/well do you trim your buds? I've been looking at harvest pics lately and see a lot of people leave a little leaf material and some peoples seem to leave most of the smaller leaves poking out from the buds.

Am I the only one who prefers to not smoke leaf? I trim my buds completely and all leaf material is snipped to the stem if possible.

Post your techniques or process of trimming and/or pics of your trimmed buds. I will do the same in a few weeks once I harvest my girls.

I agree
I trim off all the leaves before I dry
then after I trim off more

I laugh at these people who will leave on the purple leaves when they dry
then call it purple
it's gona taste like shit cuz it's a LEAF
and a leaf doesn't make your buds purple

your buds do and that's where the taste is at mayne

gota save them leaves for hash tho

its all at the discrepancy of the trimmer. If the small leaves that are hugging the bud are covered with more than 50% trichromes it might be worth keeping to the cutter. Personally unless that leaf is COATED i would cut it off, just looks more professional ya know? Im all about that connoisseur cut.

i leave the base of the sugar leaves that are coated with trich's, but trim off the pointy ends that arent covered.

I like to leave the leaves on if they are packed with trichs. My last harvest had some pretty dense trich formations on the leaves sticking from the bud. So I trimmed only the parts of the leaves were I could see more green than white/amber.

Of course I saved all the trimmings and made canna-butter with em.

i know im always pissed when i buy a bag and it has leaves on it NO MATTER how covered with trichs they are. I cant bring myself to smoke a nasty leaf when there is sweet bud behind it, the more leaves the more you cover the taste IMO.

leafy weed is airy, and gives me headaches... I like dense, clean shaven nugz...

You wouldn't get the nasty taste from the leaves if the grower used organic nutes along with a good long 1 - 2 week flush. At least mine doesn't taste nasty, mine actually is really smooth, despite the leaves.

Thanks for all the replys on this. Where are those pics? Harvest is creeping up fast, show your trim jobs.
