Question on Trimming

I'm going to trim the base of my stem ( except for 3 clone worthy branches) away of all the water leaves and unecessary growth. My question is they are ready for a watering, so should I water first and then trim, or trim first then water. Should I water and wait a day or two? What would you suggest. My friend has done it both ways and could never tell the difference, but I want to know whats the most beneficial way to go about it. They are a few days over 4 weeks from clones.

maybe im high... but what are you asking? if you are gonna clean out some under growth during veg do it now before flowering.. if the soil need water then water your plant... dont put stress on stress:stoned: DAMN I WANT TO GROW AGAIN

Dont worry bout it man! eather ways cool..but siding on the watering 1st side of things. :)
