The valuable trim referred to in this article are those cut off after harvest. These trimmings include kief, trichomes, sugar leaves, fan leaves, and tiny bits of buds. Trims are usually referred to as “waste” because they have low cannabinoid content. Farmers explain that these excess plant materials have to be removed to reduce the plant’s moisture content as well as give it a unique shape for marketing appeal. They are low-quality materials and are not as potent as bud.
