Drop temp raise humidity.
I dry in a grow tent with an evaporative humidifier using ro water hooked up to a humidity controller set to 63% with a small computer fan in the vent spot. It's monitored with an inkbird Bluetooth meter. Keeps it perfect on the ground in the basement. My temps were up a bit because it was so dang hot outside but have dropped to 70° now

Leave the leaves on and dry trim

I pick all the leaves out of my buds, or as much as possible. Hand trmming is the best trimmed weed on planet imo only. Break down big nugs into individuals. Looks way better than leafy crap. Or something run through a trim machine. I wouldnt want to smash my buds up rolling over and over. Flatten all the trics.
I cringe at trim machines. You plant these seeds from your prize collection, they sprout and you love a nurture them for the next 10+ weeks. Your mind dreams of your yields, you gaze as the buds fatten and frost with tricombs and inhale the terps rising up. You dry and throw them into a giant cement mixer looking fucking monster to get gnarled up and looks generic??? Seriously people can be monsters. You made the babies spend some time and deliver them to the world properly.

Couldnt agree more, l wouldnt put my prized genetics in cement mixer! They dont need that.
I despise dry trimming. I don't like the process or the final look. I was hoping for an alternative that would make my wet trim dry slower.
I don't think that will work for me. I'm going to have a scrog so hanging whole plants is out of the question and I was really hoping to avoid dry trimming if at all possible...
Agreed. Not a fan of trimming but I'm less of a fan of trimming machines!

There arent many choices, find someone who wants to trim then.

my dry trimmed bud looks like wet trimmed? What do you meen looks of, looks same to me just not pummeled. I dont smoke leaf. In buds or out. I used to wet trim everything but dryed out too fast, lf l leave leaves on l get extra day or two of drying.

Wet trimming will always dry a bit faster than dry timming. Do you hang the whole plant?

Yes but do clean off fan leaves sometimes
Don't get me wrong I get the job done! It's tedious and hard on my shoulders but I do it. Won't lie and say I particularly ENJOY it though. Took me 40 hours over the course of 3 days last time. 6 months pregnant too but it beats paying someone a bunch of money to do it for me!
No I don't. I cut branches, trim them, then hang. I'm going to be scrogging my next grow and don't thing I'll be able to get a whole plant out of the net to hang.

Interesting, never heard of anyone doing that. Nice cure after that?
