How We Prep Your Flower for Perfect Hand Trimming | Inside Flora Farms

Ever wonder what your flower looks like before hand trimming? In this behind-the-scenes look inside the Flora Farms trim room, we’re breaking down the quiet quality step that makes all the difference: machine prep. In this video, we show you the exact process our team uses to remove excess fan leaves, water leaves, stems, and sugar leaf before our hand trimmers ever touch a bud. You’ll see the flower straight from the plant, what it looks like after running through our trim machines, and why, to the naked eye, it may look like nothing has changed at all. That’s on purpose. We walk through two of the machines we use at the farm, the Twister Batch 1 and the Centurion Pro, and explain how they gently knock off unwanted leaf material without ever cutting the bud itself. There are no blades shaping your flower here. Instead, the machines use a plastic trim piece and carefully sized holes to remove only what needs to go, preserving the integrity of the plant. You’ll also learn why we run smaller “popcorn” buds through specific machines to prevent loss, how we collect and save trim, and why this entire step is about one thing: making our trimmers’ jobs easier so they can focus on quality. At Flora Farms, we talk a lot about how difficult these cultivation jobs are and how much pride our team takes in doing them well. While we can’t make the work easy, we can make it more comfortable. Pre-trimming allows our hand trimmers to get straight to the artistry: shaping each bud into something beautiful that our customers will love. If you’ve ever been curious about how cannabis is prepared before final trimming, or what actually happens inside a commercial trim room, this is a must-watch. ________________________________________________________________________ Want more behind-the-scenes content from Flora Farms? 👉Subscribe for cultivation tours, “How It’s Made” deep dives, strain features, and more from Missouri’s home-grown cannabis company. ________________________________________________________________________ ABOUT FLORA FARMS | MISSOURI-GROWN CANNABIS Flora Farms is a Missouri-owned and Missouri-grown cannabis company dedicated to cultivating quality, integrity, and community.
