I start out wet trimming but no way we can get it all done im a couple days,so the rest of it get trimmed dry. Everyone swears wet trimming ruins your bud, but I'd bet they couldn't tell a difference.
After I've wet trimmed and dried I might have to have a quick dry trim over a few buds but most will be fine as is.

I chopped off a small bud about 4 days ago quick dried in boiler cupboard for 3 days to test it, couldn't smoke the whole joint is was strong lol. I checked plant today not a single clear trichome so I chopped the main cola only. I'll leave the rest for a few more days as the top cola is always slightly ahead of the rest.
Hey if you are happy than that's all that matters. I would say if you are not finding any clear trichomes than you are not looking hard enough as there are always clear trichs since the plant keeps producing new ones. Hey, it's not important. There is no set perfect ripeness for everyone, it's a to each their own thing. Nice looking buds man.

The only clear ones I could see was underneath the leaves the rest where milky cloudy small percentage amber. Obviously I didn't look at every single trichome haha but I spent a good 10 mins with loupe thinking should I shouldn't I. I went with should lol the rest will go longer

Show me where I said it was better?
You said "don't say it's better or ill call you on it". You also said most do it because it's easier and that doesn't make it right. Seems like you are implying it's not right and worse but perhaps I misunderstood. So did I misunderstand, are you saying it's equal? Just looking for your reasoning is all?

I think craigson is just one of those people that thinks his way is the right way and won't accept the possibility there's another way that's neither right or wrong just different

I haven't wet trimmed in a long time. I cut the fan leaves off, cut her off at the base and hang the plant whole. About 14 days later I break it down into manageable buds and it goes into totes. Gets rotated and checked daily for about 7 more days. Then I do a final trim and into the jars they go. If I had a huge grow I may feel differently, but I really don't like the results I get from wet trimming.

What difference do you notice between wet and dry trimming? I've done both I just find wet easier and less time consuming plus it contributes to slightly quicker drying so I can get it jarred slightly sooner. You can always have a little dry trim after wet trimming if you want to polish up a few buds
