I trimmed wet years ago but once I tried trimming dry, I never went back.

Leafy stuff I trim wet with a bowl trimmer. Landrace or light Sativas I defoliate as much as I can when it's fresh and trim the sugar leaves when it's dry.
I must be a heaven, I normally wet trim and then manicure dry buds and my buds smell wonderful.
I tried dry trimming once and apart from it taking longer I really didn't notice much of a difference.
The last 26 plant grow I did, I brought a trimming bowl and I used it for 2 plants before I decided it was no good. It looked as if the buds had been chewed on. That was £100 down the drain lol

Trimming is a new thing. Personally, I don't give a shit about perfectly trimmed weed. Neither do my customers. But the wife likes her weed perfect. Like her hair and nails. She manicures it, then busts it up. Wtf.

So, I dry trimmed some branches and wet trimmed the rest of the grow. Nobody can tell the difference in joints or bowls, it's all super tasty and terpene rich, even for a sub-par run.
Nobody likes picking the leafy bits out of the dry trimmed junk. I'll stick with cleanly 'wet' trimmed.

I trim when I'm ready to smoke, one joint at a time.

That's how I roll as well. If it has a stem of an inch or so it gets clipped, but I like those close sugar leaves to act as wrappers. They get tossed into a pile for edibles as I take them off.

This is nice if you only medicate once or twice a day. It's a real pain when you're an all day toker. If I ate burritos for most of my meals, I'd really prefer spending a day baking and freezing them. The additional daily setup/cleanup times involved makes it too long of a task for a daily chore.
So if you're constantly toking, and like to grab a flower, crush it, pull the single stem and go... wet trimming makes this a dream.

If it has sugar on it, it remains since I grind everything up into pills at a rate of 7g at a time. The remaining buds are curing in jars until required.Same as tying flies. The fly must convinve the fisherman to purchase but, it has been my experience that trout like 'em mangled LOL
I cut the fans off wet then hang dry for some amount of days. Then cut all stems to fit in a bucket to sweat for a day or two. The amount of days depends on temperature and humidity .
I really do not want to handle or lay scissors on a sticky wet flower ever again. Not pleasant for me.

I hear that...I made that mistake once when I was first starting out and I will never do it again.
I grow micro, any given harvest is measured in grams, not ounces.
The two most recent harvests, about twenty grams each,
were dried without trimming on the bud, and the impact was superior
to the sticky wet trim mess.
Can't smoke my fingers, or scissors for that matter.
Scissor hash, I don't think so, lol
After a couple weeks sweat in the jar I can trim to a nice eye appeal.
No residue on my fingers from a dry trim, as on a wet trim my finger tips were covered in product.
End result with a dry trim is a noticeable increase in terps and
a more even sweat, a better end product, in my opinion.
Good thread.

I dry full plants and do a dry trim after 12-14 days like many do these days I think. I just cut yellow leaves at harvest rest stays on.
I keep the room at 16-18 degrees and 55-60 % humidity at all times.
Outtake fan on low setting and a small fan hitting the floor not the buds directly to keep the air moving.

Doing things the easy way is not the road to successful weed cultivation. You say all you care about is the final product, but then you say you will pick the easier road every time. So I probably don't want to smoke any of your final product.
p.s.- Yes, I know I'm responding to a six year old post, but too bad.
I used to trim wet and then hang dry for 7 days or so. Easier? Yes. Better? Eh not in my opinion. Ive been bucking the big fan leaves and hang drying for a week then trimming and I will say my final product has been phenomenal. I don't think I'll go back to wet trimming ever again unless it's absolutely necessary. With the hang dry then trimming, I feel like the bud leaves the curl up around the nugs kinda protect the buds themselves when handled and also sometimes add some character to the nugs.
I cut the big fan leafs when wet before hanging, like the ones that have an obvious stem that is easy to see, then I wait until the tips of the remaining leafs are just starting to get dry usually 2<3 days and then finish trimming, when the buds shrink a bit from drying some stems become easier to get to, trimming when fully dry is terrible because of the little bits of leaf crumble that end up on the buds

If you're leaves are crumbling when you trim, you're letting them get too dry, imo.
The stem on my sugar leaves break easily, but the whole leaf stays together and maintains the shape it dried in. Very rarely do the leaves break. And they never crumble unless they're way too dry.
