how important is the manicure of the buds? today i picked out some perfect little ball nugs, no stray leaves everything just really tight and smooth all around. is it right to think whoever trimmed/manicured these buds took more time and more care in the process? or did a diff strain just happen to end up with nicely rolled up little balls?
when there are leaves and hairs hanging off and going in all different directions does that usually mean the weed wasn't very well taken care of?

most commercial growers trim their harvest real well for bag appeal
hobby/personal growers tend to not be as meticulous cus usually its a pain in the dick and really, leaving some small leafs on the buds help protect the trichs from getting damaged.
quality of smoke/taste/burn can be affected by the leafage left on
sometimes its real strain dependent too... some strains have a high calyx to leaf ratio, others do not and are just very leafy naturally and simply won't look the same cured as a strain with a high calyx to leaf ratio no matter how much trimming you do.
The main idea behind trimming is simply removing the plant matter without trichcomes, cus the trichomes are the prize and all that leafage with minimal trichomes are better off being trimmed and made into butter/oil etccccccccc

Better is a dinner of herb where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith [Proverbs 15:17]
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man.. [Psalm 104:14]

...He sees ganja as the smoother of mental imbalances and as a meditatory influence. Ganja is really used to bring forth a peaceful and complacent aspect within man.
We do not believe in the excessive use of ganja. It cannot be used to excess. In that case it would be bad for man. But in truth, ganja used moderately is not bad.
We do not find ganja as a mental depressor, ganja sharpens your wit, and keeps you intellectually balanced. It is not a drug; it is not a aphrodisiac either. We smoke it, we drink it, we even eat it sometimes. We do not find it a poison. I have been smoking ganja since I was eighteen years of age. I am now fifty, and I have never been to a doctor for any ganja related ailments.

In the Jamaican study, no significant physical or mental abnormalities could be attributed to marijuana use, according to an evaluation of mental history, complete physical examination, chest X-ray, electro-cardiogram, blood cell, and chemistry tests, lung, liver or kidney function tests, selected hormone evaluation, brain waves, psychiatric evaluation and psychological testing. There was no evidence to indicate that the drug as commonly used was responsible for producing birth defects in offspring of users.
Indica is my personal favorite but it's generally a crap shoot since I'm still purchasing off the black market.
Indica dominant strains really help me with my anxiety disorder, sleep issues, and nasuea. I'm also taking propranolol to control my flight or fight anxiety issues so the reefer really helps with the the side effect of 'propranolol induced depression'.
As long as I stay medicated my quality of life is so much better.
DarkPiece has it right. Especially the part about people not liking to trim. Some don't mind. Everyone else would rather lop off a toe than trim. I don't think there are many who fall in the middle. So if it's not for sale it usually doesn't get trimmed very well. It's usually referred to as a "connoisseur trim". Lol. I hate trimming and I won't do it for anything.
So I hire a trimmer and get the best of both worlds. Well, used to. Since I'm not growing right now my provider handles that. But I used to hire a trimmer when my garden was active. He's very good and very fast. Typically he can trim up two complete 6-8 oz plants in 6-7 hours, and the result is a work of art. I paid him $15/hr, so it only costs me about $100 to get 14 oz or so trimmed, and it's fantastic work. Totally worth every penny. In northern Cali and some places in Oregon you can find people who do it for a living. He and his wife used to, but they wanted to settle here and have a family. Lucky me.
Best part? My provider uses his services as well, so he still trims all my bud. Woot!
That's a lot of good info, Sn0wm4n.
