• Why is dry trimming better than wet trimming?

  When working under normal growing conditions, experience, aroma, aesthetics, and sales price are all positively impacted by dry trimming. But when a cultivator is contemplating all of the pros and cons surrounding each trimming method for cannabis flowers, it’s important to consider how this decision impacts the rest of your post-harvest activities. Deciding between wet and dry trimming dictates the way in which you’ll dry and cure your cannabis. If you add the benefits of machine automation to tackle the vast majority of your trimming work, any of the time-saving arguments for wet trimming dry up very quickly. Knowing that you can save countless hours with automation means that farms can shift their time and energy into higher-value activities, such as a proper curing process that ensures the plant’s chemicals have reached their peak aroma, flavor, and effects without being rushed to market.
