If quality and beauty is what you’re looking for in your final product then hand trimming is the technique for you. This is the traditional method of removing leaves and other unwanted plant material from your buds. Hand-trimmed buds are handled on a case-by-case basis; each unique bud gets its own individual custom trim best suited for its characteristics. This preserves the natural shape and distinct bud structure for the best aesthetically pleasing results. With this individual approach, you’re able to inspect each bud for seeds, stems, and contamination issues like pests and mold. Hand trimming maximizes the terpenes and plant-based properties preserved at this stage of the process and minimizes the loss of trichomes and excess bud as opposed to machine trimming. This process can be done with both dry and wet buds.
