Wet Trimming Machines

Wet trimming means removing leaves from the buds immediately after harvest, while the plant is still fresh. Dry trimming involves hanging the whole plant or branches to dry before trimming away the leaves.

Wet trimming is generally faster and easier, helps prevent mold (especially in humid climates), saves space when drying, and can make buds look more visually appealing. It’s also less stressful for beginners.

Dry trimming allows for more control over the drying process, usually results in smoother smoke and better-tasting buds, and is less sticky and messy to handle. It can help preserve potency and terpenes by drying the buds more slowly.

Wet trimming can be messy, must be done immediately after harvest, and may lead to harsher-tasting buds if not dried carefully. Dry trimming is more time-consuming, harder to trim (as leaves curl up), requires more space, and has a higher risk of mold in humid conditions.

The best method depends on your experience, available space, climate, and personal preference. Wet trim is ideal for beginners or small spaces, especially in humid areas. Dry trim is better for experienced growers with adequate drying space, aiming for higher-quality smoke and flavor.
