Trimming
Dry trimming vs Wet Trimming
Is there a significant difference?
I would like to believe that drying the whole plant with all leaves , maybe except the biggest fan leaves makes it dry slower giving time for terpenes to develop .

I have been wondering how the organic GMP buds are looking like in NL - and especially their smoothness and taste.
I was certainly satisfied with the buds being clean and organic, but it definitely was lacking some taste.
Here are some pictures of some of the products (bud) I tried:


Before 2020, there were no guides or common knowledge in the cannabis world describing a specific evolution of hashish curing from glassy and brittle, to sticky, then crumbly, and finally cooked. This now widely accepted pattern only started showing up in conversations after 2020 — exactly when semisynthetic cannabinoids like THC, THC-P, HHC, delta-8 THC, and HHC-O began flooding the European market as adulterants. This is extremely suspicious. Artisan hash-making traditions go back decades. If this curing progression were truly natural, someone would have documented it long before now. Take Frenchy Cannoli-style temple balls. These are made from high-quality resin, pressed with heat, and cured over time. They don’t start off glassy or brittle. Over time, they can sweat oil — but only because they contain rich terpene profiles. That terpene content is what gives hash aroma, flavor, and the ability to express itself during curing. Modern European hash, by contrast,…
Thank you for your post. I have tried to drive some engagement your way (your forum post has been viewed by 100+ visitors), but unfortunately I ended up with a lot of DMs - and you without comments.
The DMs I received were very mixed - some agreed with you, while some thought it was ridiculous.
I am looking forward to reading more from you, and I am sure I am not the only one 😊
I don't know what the correct/best method is. I suppose it highly depends on your setup and purpose with the bud.
I can only speak from what works personally best for me. Initially I preferred wet trimming because I think it is much easier thank a dry trim. Unfortunately, it ended up drying it too quickly, so I resorted to first trimming it wet, and then let it dry a couple of days, and then store them in jars before they are completely dried out.
But nowadays I just dry trim because the process is much easier, and I remember reading something about the leaves are protecting the trichomes from oxidation during the drying process. It also protects the trichomes better against light, and so forth. As well as making the drying process longer and more gentle as you mention yourself.
Honestly, I don't really know what's the "correct" method, but I think anything works as long as you are checking in on the process so it doesn't get way too dry and you're prepared to negate possible errors.
Writing this, I feel like I should experiment again with more wet trim. It could also be a nice excuse for some fresh frozen 😄
