trimming buds

do you dry first then trim or trim the buds then let dry.

how big are the buds if there small id keep the leaves on so they dry slower if huge colas id trim

I dry first then trim - just my preference.

ok thanks, i kinda got small buds, its my first grow. So ill lest some leaves on then trim.

trim it wet.

when you dry it first them trim it all the trichs fly off every time you snip a stem. when it's wet the trichs don't fly off.

could i make a compromise, like dry them halfway so the shrivel up so i could get bigger end product. and this way it wont be dry enough to loose the trichs?

i trim it all down nice and pretty while it's WET. then i hang it until it's dry.

many people are going to have many opinions on this
i manicure and trim when wet, like fdd2blk said, when its dry you trichs will be falling off all over the place. he knows what hes talking about.
good luck man
