It has been trimmed just not to the extent of taking every leaf off and people have expressed wanting larger flowers so this is what we did. What you see there took 2 people hours to trim. We would never be able to trim the amount we grew by hand which is why most of our product has been put through a trimming machine. But that definitely takes off precious crystals. Understanding these plants were originally more than 6 feet tall there's alot of time and work to get the plants even to this stage. We want it to be affordable and people expressed wanting it like this. The last little bit of trim can be enjoyable and keeping those crystals intact is what some folks have expressed wanting. I too would take out ask the stem and break it down further but when you do those inner crystals literally drop off. And no, I hadn't trimmed the big one on the right but everything on the left looked like that so yes it was obviously trimmed quite a bit
