I spent way too much time trying to trim buds perfectly once, and ended up smoking everything I trimmed off at a later date anyway. These days, I just trim the big leaves off the bottom and call it good. Trimming >1lb of bud is a full time job, lol.
Also, I've found a dry trim yields the best results anyway, and it's never going to be as close as a wet trim... and you lose some quality doing a wet trim.
Following your lead on “ dry trim “ - I tend to do a regular wet trim ( fans / rough trim ) then leave plants in pot to dry on their own in a dark tent .
Not for any broscience reason but for keeping them safe
until i choose to cut them down at any time like after work or over a weekend while im gone. By being in pot , i dont have to worry about overdrying if i take a few days or weekend in vegas.
Pretty easy way to keep things controlled. Dark tent has extraction fan going and passive inlet for air. Toss in a hygrometer and instant harvest chamber.
Sometimes i hang plants or mesh rack buds ( trimmed ) - rolling them around so no flat spots happen - in that same dark tent setup.
Again - No benefits of dark tent other than keeping them from active grow lights.
But soil containers - i sort of let them
dry on the vine by being in their pots for however long it takes - slow drying.
Then i cut them at a time of my own choosing.
Once dry , i use a cannabrush to “ clean “ them up - and end up using scissors much less.
