Bud Trimming advice

So I’ve noticed many opinions on how to manicure your buds. I dont care if it’s perfectly beautiful but I do care about it the affects it will have on quality. I used a bud that ended up off a branch during harvest to practice a bit. Any advice on whether this is good or I need to do take more off would be appreciated…Thank you

Those look good! The little sugar leaves don’t effect potency, but if eniugh are left on, the taste does change. Becomes a little harsh. If i don’t do a great trim, i pick them off when breaking it up.

Those nugs look great! I really like to use a curved blade for finish trimming and conform to the roundness of the nug. I usually wet trim and get what i can quickly and then do a finish trim with curved blades

I wasnt sure what i would like so i bought a pair of the Chikamasa and a pair of the fiskars both with curved blades. It definitely makes it easier to make precise snips.

Bro if its only you smoking it well it doesnt really matter how well you trim it .

High,
Like others my main buds, colas etc, get a great trim. Not as great as yours however I do take time. I like good looking buds. The rest of them well they get trimmed and manicured more when smokin
Happy harvest

I like to crop them close and cut out most sugar leaves too.

You did a great job in my book and slightly closer than even mine below. I was told leaves are harsher than buds to smoke and I go by that.
