How do you get a trim like this?

I know this purple trufflez strain is dense but this is some rock hard tight trimmed stuff.

How can you get home grown to look like this?

A lot of strains are selected for “bag appeal” and overall structure. Sometimes even over potency and flavor.

I am going to take a guess and say by using trimming scissors.

Na, this is what trimming scissors look like.

The above pic is perfect for the home grower. There are plenty of trichs on those sugar leafs.... now, as a commercial grower, it needs to look like the OP's pic. But for home consumption the above is perfect. Alls you're going to do is trim it up to look like something from High Times and lose alot of good material, and time in the process.

They use trimming scissors and shave them down more, also vacuum packing in big amounts helps to smooth them out as they get mashed together by the vacuum.

A lot of it has to do with genetics too though. Some phenos just product those rock hard nugs that have great bag appeal.. but for the home grower, just trim off all the bullshit, and cure it. Who cares what it looks like. As long as you produced something you're proud of, and it smokes well, and delivers what you expect, who gives a fuck?

Home grown trim......




Commercial trim....

Genetics, lighting, and overall health.

The commercial trim could be tighter, but the market requires MORE WIEGHT!.. on a big nugget like that, i'd even leave the long stem... fuck those guys.

A CannaBrush is what you’re looking for.

I was sceptical, it does a nice job and quickly, anyone using scissors should try it out. Maybe the right basting brush trimmed for firmness could work, anyone I hear of trying both, say the canna brush works a lot better. I never did try a pasty type brush myself. Either way, less damage to the bud over scissors.

I would think the brush damages more than scissors.

You need to grow weed with trichomes before you need to worry about it. In the meantime, google it and watch a video, before you sound even dumber.

I believe genetics is the cheat code to great looking bud. However if you do it right, you can make almost anything look very appealing.
Here’s my cheat code trimmed with cheap eBay trimmers.

Any recommendations on genetics? There are so many breeders out there.
