Wet or dry cut , the choice is yours alone .. I like to do a little of both . I rip all shades by hand when wet and dispose . The sugar leaves I trim later on when the bud is almost dry .. It ensures a slower dry time and I began this routine due to low RH .. Later on when the RH went up and I harvested I realized for myself its easier to split the duty .. I caregive and always have something needing trimmed due to a smooth running perpetual medical grow ......... Game on have fun , it becomes the bane of a grower in time ...PotSnob
