I always trim soon as the branch come into the house because our humidity here in NW Coastal CA, rarely goes below 60%. Plus I can shake a branch in the morning and most likely moisture will come off due to fog and dew. A plant with a thick bud is susceptible to bid rot early on here. For me anyway, trying to trim with leaves wrapped around the bud takes longer time.
I also trim for the bud rather than the cola so dryer air can flow around the bud. It’s more work but less rot and when I go to pull some out to smoke or dry sift, I’m looking for buds. Whatever works for your situation is the best way to go.
