Trimming Cannabis
Unlike many other plants cannabis does require some method of singling out the unpollinated buds from the rest of the plant material.
The process of removing the leaves near the buds can require some detailed trimming if going for a high quality dry flower end product.
However, if there is a lot of plant volume to get through utilizing some mechanical method may be advised to at least remove some of the bulk material allowing for less plant material that needs to be manually removed which will improve efficiency.

Hand Trimming Tools for Cannabis

Disadvantages
Labor intensive

Using a Trimming Machine for Cannabis

Some Use Both
If you have a lot of plant material to process, than using a trommel may be a good first step to initially trim the buds.

This will remove the large leaves and bulk material which will then allow for you to spend the time doing the detail work so each unique dry flower gets the individual attention it needs to look its best.
