What to trim exactly?

[ivanchuk]

Hello everyone,

I have my first ever elegant beaty coming of age soon...

I know that red circled leaves should be trimmed,

but what about these darker ones, circled in blue?

trim at all off - down to the bud.

Now that you grow your own there is zero reason to smoke anything other than the best part of the plant.

The trim...make budder or somethin'

(what Wiet said)

Cheers

I agree with wiet .

Tried both methods and found the cured buds that i trimmed all the leaf from tastes much better and even smells better in the jars then the buds i left some leaf on .

Trim never gets wasted anyway . Use for hash or butter or both

Hi Ivan

I'm with wiet, but here is a pic that may help.

Now with the camera flash its a bit hard to see and these buds are dry, but the first bud is 'dirty' no leaf removed, the second is 'clean' all shade leaves removed and the third is 'manicured', although it could be cleaned a bit better to be fully manicured. When fully manicured I have no stem thicker than a match stick and NO leaf.

All the stuff that is trimmed I also keep and use for hash or hash oil.
