Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, and start with small tasks for your dry trimmer.Īlso, don’t begin your learning curve with your best material. Material that’s headed to extraction makes a better guinea pig than your top flowers. Start with the less desirable parts of your harvest and work your way up - literally - to the better flowers. Try trimming your lower and mid buds first. Triminator Dry machines are designed to run autonomously. Your operator won’t need a lot of involvement and can generally turn their attention to other tasks while the machine runs. But, at first, you’ll want to attend to your machine to make sure you’re getting good results and have the right run time dialed in. Time is the key variable for Triminator batch dry trimmers, and it varies from strain to strain. Every strain has a slightly different flower structure. So start with a shorter run time (about three minutes) and work your way up to the ideal trim. Most runs will take between three and seven minutes. Once again - and we really can’t say this enough - dry your crop properly before beginning the trimming process. Get a moisture meter and shoot for 9-10% levels. In one sense, dry trimming hemp flower and smokable cannabis flower isn’t very different from wet trimming. Both processes remove the fan leaves and most of the sugar leaves - hopefully without affecting the calyxes and oil-rich trichomes.īut many growers consider dry trimming superior because it preserves secondary metabolites (cannabinoids, terpenes). That’s because the buds dry more slowly, while still attached to the plant. Spread the loose buds on a drying screen for 10 to 21 days.Trim the buds using a trimmer or by hand (immediately).Buck the buds from the stalk immediately.Trim the buds using a trimmer or by hand.Monitor the drying over a 10- to 21-day period until the moisture content is 10%.With wet trimming, the buds are separated from the plant immediately and dry more quickly. Wet trimming is great for high-volume speed. And for some growers, it’s the only way to go.
