The plants are now in flower and starting to develope trichromes. Does the trim as i remove leaves daily have any value for extracting the thc or just toss out like veg trim ---

I wouldn’t prune to much once flowering has started. I only remove the dying yellow leaves and any big leaves blocking several bud sites. To me any trim under the 6 week flowering stage is tossed. Past that date it goes in the bubble hash bucket for future processing. ---

I agree what are you trimming daily? Plants only need 2 or 3 trims ever 1 pre flower 1 after stretch and maybe 1 more if it suddenly bushes out again. You only trim to remove useless leaves anything more and you’re kneecaping photosynthesis growth. The only leaves worth extracting are sugar leaves.
