The best method depends on the circumstances. Your cultivation may benefit from wet trimming, dry trimming, using both machines, or a combination of manual and machine trimming.

The moisture level of your buds is crucial when trimming. Both dry and wet trimming have their benefits, and proponents of each approach are often passionate about their preferred method.

Customers often trim part of their harvest on the day of harvest and dry trim the rest later. Some only use a wet trimmer for removing fan leaves. Others cut the tops off the plants, dry them, and then let the remaining buds flower longer before wet trimming.
