How do you trim your harvest?

[FemmeFatale]

Old SSC Guy after reading all of these great post I have decided to use your method of "bagging and burping". Im in the desert of so cal so humidity and moisture shouldnt be much of a concern, even now in Nov. This has been a great thread with lots of great information from all of you. Thanks a bunch guys.

All praises to scissor hash!

No doubt about it bro. It's a pain to keep em clean while your tryin to work but it pays off when ya roll up that 'ball-O-funk' during smoke breaks. :hubba:

BBFan I've never had any problem with mold or damp spots. But I shift the bud and burp the bags maybe 2-3 times a day. How long they are there depends on a few things. What the ambient temp and humidity is, how gushy the buds were when cut, whether I remembered to not water them for X days before harvest... But it usually takes about 2 weeks in the brown bag before I move to glass. Less in winter because the furnance keeps room humidity low, more in the summer when its 80%-95% humid outside.

Thanks for the reply Old_SSSC_Guy-

What I'm getting essentially from your post is that you are slowing down the initial step of the drying process, extending it to 2 weeks- my initial dry time is closer to a week, maybe a little more.

Thanks for the info- like I said, I'll try drying some using your method and compare to the method I'm currently using. To be effective though, I'll probably need to dry about an oz your way- so it better work!

I REALLY hope that is not really a pic of her. If so, IMO, it is really stupid to put a pic of yourself (even with your face hidden) and your dining room with all those plants that would be sooooo readily identifiable to anyone who knew you...

I agree. Definitely a gamble thats probably not worth the potential risk.
Having said that, I VOTE FOR MORE PICS!!

Well, I recently moved here and I have a card issued form the state. I only grow for personal use,so I'm not so concerned, but I'll take your advice. I don't appriciate the stupid comment Hemp. If you were so concerned you could have sent a private message instead of hating, and stayed on the thread subject.

I for one appreciate all of the information that I have just absorbed while reading this thread. Having never grown,.... I now feel confident about
cutting, drying and curing. Thanks to all of you.

Now,..... if only I could find some help with the rolling and smoking...LOL

LOL--Calm down. You only posted that picture to get a reaction. That was mine.

:48:

Even if you are only growing for personal use and are licensed, IMO, you are setting yourself up for trouble if others know you grow.

And everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Mine, was two enthusiastic thumbs up. (No offense hemp, I know you were just looking out )

Femme, in the grand scheme of things I've only been here a short time, but I have made a few friends on this site and genuinely think that most of the people here are good in nature. But even with you being legal, don't forget there will always be that shady dude that will rob someone right after they feed them a warm meal. Just be careful, believe me, I'm not complaining about seeing a sexy woman and a couple pot plants, lol. Id hate for someone to recognize something small about you and try to rob you of your hard work.

Anyways, was there anything else that wasn't covered or any other questions? Did you get a chance to read through the stickies in this section too? Some very good info there as well.

 

[FemmeFatale]

Thanks cad. And thank you Hemp for your concern. I'll be more careful in the future. All my questions have been answered, and then some. Thanks again to all.

And Beware, legal or not the PO PO have been known to tear down legal grows,
after months of fighting you'll get your lights back but what a
hassel...... it happens.
