So when do you trim with a bowl trimmer, is it right after you harvest, or do you wait until after the 7 day drying time?
Thankyou

They come with a wet trim blade and dry trim blade. I’ve never tried wet trim because a friend said it messes up the buds to much. When dry is my opinion of best time. Turn the handle slow don’t crank it and change directions go forward then backwards. I still hand trim some bigger buds. Good luck and send pictures of your bud porn.

I also dry trim with a machine. The quality and outcome of the trim depends on the bud density and moisture content, too loose it’ll get shredded, too dry it’ll get shredded. 60-65% will give you a nice trim. Too wet it won’t do a great job at trimming.

I hand trim all of my buds. It is a lot of work, but I get maximum trichome retention, and my buds look a little boujee

If i use my bud trimmer, i trim right after i sweat… ill take my trimmings and either press immediately or freeze it for bubble hash later…

Here are some examples of machine trimmed buds, after dry. Anything that doesn’t survive the trimmer doesn’t deserve to be bagged imo. Some of the smaller buds we collect altogether and remove the dry trim guard to shred them to pieces. Then we sift it for trichomes, this is actually one of my favorite parts. The sifting, we put the sifted materials away for edibles or w.e.

Mine is from AC Infinity they make some pretty good products to assist growers. I like trimming by hand but if you grow more than a couple plants trimming quickly becomes trimming jail. It as you may know can be very time consuming. These save you a ton of time and catches your trimmings in the bottom of the bowl. You can screen the trimmings and get your kief. Then freeze the remaining and make some good bubble hash
