Best way to dry/trim?

[qwizoking]

Once its time to get it sealed up or whatver you do. You have a short time frame to trim. Its easy to not have enough time and the bud gets too dry. There are several reasons though, mostly subjective.
Curing is very important, and i definitely notice a difference. Ive done both methods of trimming

Normally I trim as much as I can selectively from day 63 ish - day 70ish . After then I will trim them up the best I can on the stem and hang dry them . This run I got tomato cages.. So I might rough trim them up , cut it down and rehang it on the tomato cage . Sounds good in theory lol

I normally cure in turkey bags for a week.. If it isn't all smoked by then I put them into mason jars or those cvault jugs after

No I haven't . What do you suggest doing? I live in a very dry area and most of my meds go to dispensaries. Unfortunately they like there stuff very moist because they open and close jars all day. So I try to get it gone quick . A lot of the time I even add a rung out paper towel on a paper plate in a turkey bag the day before I give it . It adds some moisture to the nug

I prefer wet trim to hang to jars/ tupperware..once most of the moisture is out, the bud will recede a little so you can go back for those tiny close snips.

6 days for 20? Wtf. teach me, please . Harvest is miserable around here

They said yes they would come help out. If you would be happy with nugs like this they will be there tomorrow. They also said your 230 a door is to much and would do it for less.

230 is what I pay for wet trimming if they want to give it a try . I don't have a harvest for awhile but I definitely need people for the next one. Those ogs look nice dude

I've done complete wet trims, hung full plants and done full dry trims( that SUCKS!), but i prefer to take the big fans off in the week or so before harvest..bigger sugar leaves at harvest..hang to dry..go back and nip any sugar leaves still poking out of buds before jarring. The only advantage i see to a full wet rim is the cut sugar leaves usually recede into the bud as they dry, leaving buds that look like Mongo Frog's. I used to be anal about trimming buds for that connoisseur look..no more..people don't notice if those last 10% of sugar leaves are there or not and they are usually so frosty I hate cutting them off.

I am over board about making them look perfect. Now that I have been adding a little bit more I need to start caring less and doing what gets it done quick

after many different methods, I have come to prefer my wet trim n drying rack method... I get some flat sided buds once in a while sure, but like you said, I got people that swear my shits superior to all 3 of my local dispensaries. The only way to get thru more of it in a short period.... is more trimmers. I don't like the dry trim, I feel its wasteful and messy. I dry all my trim in paper bags so I can blast it into oil. This can be real fun when you run the same strain for a bit, and can stockpile a bucket full (literally) of trim and a case of butane......

I have to stagger my plants so I have time to trim n dry, then get it into jars before the next ones due...
