Wet or dry trim yield differance

Always done dry trimming but decided to try wet and found it much easier, but it made me wonder if you lose more weight wet trimming. I didn't do a comparison or anything I just wondered that all
Had a quick google but didn't find anything

What would make you think you would lose more weight either way? In the end its all a dried bud.

Doesn't make any difference, assuming you are trimming the same amount in both cases. BigSteve.

Assuming you question really is.. if you trim wet, do you end up trimming off more than when you trim white, hence reducing you total harvest weight. That is a good question, I also prefer doing wet, and it seems like I actually trim off more when wet since a lot of the sugar leaves recede into the buds when it dries. That said, it seems nominal, and the extra material you are trimming is probably better served being in your trim if you make an extract (I like dry ice ice because its cheap and easy to do, and works great for eddibles).

a wet trim looks better. But I doubt the difference is negligible. I seem to always do a second trim when going into jars. I make it all into extracts and smoke or make eatables. So who cares. If your weighing your difference in trim from one way to the other, you didn't grow enough. Grow enough and you'll be happy to be done and that's that.... Lol. Don't give me another test to do.... I'm OCD and always looking for tests.... LOL!

I know, all the tests!!! haha. I think trimming dry would be more beneficial. The plant is still living once you cut it so it is still absorbing what it has soaked up. In that sense it could possibly weigh more in the end after trimming. Trimming wet would mayb stress the plant out a tad? because its still living? and has not continued to ripen as naturally. Im just assuming its a possibility. It could very well not matter like everyone is saying, just throwing it out there. I question everything haha

Trimming dry, to me, is more of a pain in the ass. That said, it is supposed to take longer to dry if you don't trim, which should improve the quality, not necessarily the quantity of your final harvest. But as already said, if you did it right, a few grams one way or the other shouldn't matter.

wet trim is easier and doesn't make your weed smell like dead leaves and it helps lower any risk of mold

trimming while wet is deffinitly super easy..
trimming while dry is a bit challenging
what I did my last run was. hang every thing up leaves buds and all for like three maybe four days till all the leaves just looked like
there was no hope left in the then came through and trimmed every thing up.gave it a nice clean manicure. Then hung them back up for about two or three days.
this really helped slow down the dry time. But not to slow and allowed me to clean my buds up nice and pretty


also dry trimming sucks. For me at least I always feel like umm knocking off alot of trics.

Its probably not anymore than when its wet but it just don't feel right

I always trim when I hang, wet and have found I get close to 26-28% of dry herb from wet weight
