I think wet is a little easier. That's just my opinion

I think everything just works out better that way. I think a lot of people trim dry because they are to lazy to do it when they should. if you trim dry your buds break and crumble when your handling it...

wettt!!! youll regret it if you wait until it drys.

No, you won't lose any more weight then would trimming wet. You are trimming the same stuff dry that you would have trimmed wet. You're going to lose weight trimming, that's for sure, but trimming wet is much easier.

if u trim before or after doesnt matter about weight if properly cured u get same weight but it will cure faster and better taste if done wet remove as much leave then as u can

leaves retain moisture and slow down drying and curing and make it taste like shit

I cannot do a good job trimming dry or wilted bud. I like a pretty close haircut on my girls. Less weight maybe, but the quality shows in the finished bud. cn

in a way i do. whenever ive decided to try trimming after drying its alot harder to get in the buds and really trim em up nice without fucking them up. bits of dried leaf matter breaking off like crazy making a huge mess is what i have happen while cringing at the the trichomes that im sure im losing trying to dig in and trim it up nice. so since i leave more leaf matter on i guess you could look at it that way. if you wanted to keep more leaf on to try to keep more weight i think you'd be alot better off just doing the trim when they are wet just leave more leaf matter on. i absolutely hate dry trimming.

i find that the true flavor doesnt come out till all leaves are off
so why not do it earlier and bring flavor out and let it marinate?
yummy

trim as fresh as possible too much trouble to wait. manicuring after it dries a little makes it too difficult to get a clean maincure
