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 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 😄
