After years of trimming wet , I came to the conclusion that I like to hang the plant whole after removing shades .. Then after a few days I will cut the branches and hang them whole for at least another few days .. I usually get a weeks time to prep and assemble my patients before the final trim is to be done ..
It seems like no mater how its broken up or done , that it sucks ass in the end and is the worst part of growing in my humble opinion .. Sure its fun to trim my prized tops , but anything other than them is agony for me ..
I tend to follow to a friends advice from long ago and it applies to a larger harvest than a small one . And that is , throw everything under a gumball size into the trim pile for processing hash and other usable products . It sure beats trimming the lowers and less desired bud ..
