No flush, no problem?

[PSUAGRO.]

Oh. This again.

Ha, one big circle........defo?, flush?, Organic vs chem?, Hydro vs media?, Hid vs led?, A watt is a watt?, Fem vs reg?, Auto vs photo?, Wet vs dry trimming? ===== Rinse or "flush”, lol , & repeat

No. No. Bit of both. Hydro (coco). LED. Yes. Both. Photo. Wet.

If it makes no difference, you might as well flush and save on nutes I don't flush.

Wet.

hmmm why wet?

I like wet trimming for convenience, but now that I've moved the tents out of the basement, I'm in a lower humidity drying environment, so I figure leaving all the leaves on while it dries is probably good for the buds? But that's just based on popular opinion, to be honest! Dry trimmed my last harvest though. Definitely didn't notice any quality improvement in the finished product, but if I had wet trimmed, perhaps they would have gone crispy on me. Might go back to wet for the next run, just to find out.

Agreed, Prawn is an old pro! Maybe he'll tell us that the dry trim advantage is another old growers' tale? Who knows... If the internet is to be believed, dry trimming will almost certainly result in more aromatic and flavorful buds, but... That wasn't my experience.

now that sounds like an old wives tale!

gna guess its a convenience or environment thing too

To me dry trimming is the more convenient option, because I can trim over the course of several days (or weeks for that matter) , and not have to do the trim all in one night before leaves start to wilt.

Yeah, I suppose it depends on how many hands you have on deck and how much you're harvesting at a time. For the wife and I, it's just easier to get the trimming out of the way at chop, rather than deal with any of it later. But I suppose a gradual, staggered trim could be the best of both worlds?
