On a side man-tittie note.. here is some ChemDawg


Way... better yield then I expected for a stretchy kind of plant I don't know how these main colas are supported over like a 1/4" stalk... crazy.. had to tie just one up and that was because it looked like it needed it not that it was falling. Thinking a few more weeks.. please hurry maybe one more flush and blast of nutes sets her off. Getting awesome results that the GreenHouse guys recommended.

It was Del666 and I am not sure if it was real or not, (something in my brain tells me I have seen it before), I reckon you might be able to get something to be supported briefly, but not sure how it would work. There is a guy who grafts flowers and plants together in the Netherlands. Quite craxy still if I recall.

Iv seen that several times thanks.

I was just asking because they posted a pic and left no info on what it was. Several of us asked if it was grafted or what not, and some douchey douche bag came on and called all of us fking morons for asking... Anyway I was just trying to get a follow up on that story because I think we were right and mr douch bag was just being a,, well being a douche lol

Man I will never go back to cutting and trimming before the drying process, just cut main colas, maybe a few fan leaves never ones attached to buds then hang to dry. Manicure in a few days, continue to dry then jar/burp. Never get that "trapped" crusty bud texture that never cures right buds again, and never a hint of hay so far. Yet the trapped so-so smell hay it used to produce like buds in every dispensary, I guess mediocre is the new "dank. Makes me want to regrow EVERY @!(&*!)*@ strain I never did justice too.

Well we all do it our own way, I trim. Is there a scientific reason for leaving the sugar leaves and other smaller leaves on while drying? I find trimming those off after is a frikkin ballache if ever there was one. Please pre-tell BBC? BC99 (I am guessing you are on this method). Allways interested in all sides of the story (and I don't smoke hay weed, lol)

I like the way the buds taste and smoke when I trim after drying..

Seems they cure "better" that way for my taste buds, lol.

TBH trimming is a bitch, regardless if you trim wet or dry, it is still gonna be a Pain in the ass.

It basically slows the dry down, in my case by a day or two. It does in my opinion which may change, but to me it was a substantial difference. I am not saying that is a wrong way, if it produces what you want or need then cool man. This wasn't a troll statement to cause arguments, I am only stating for others that are on the fence about something better or a better way for "them". It's your weed/medicine man you do what is good for you no issues man there.

This is my method, visit my journal for the details for somewhat better then I care to cloud up this thread with.

Agreed. I usually only leave the bud leaves and sugars.. all others are gone. I am no botanist but they aide in something "I" "ME" "MYSELF" was missing and looking for that was another piece of the puzzle to my perfect grow routine. MINE being key word I could care less if people use other ways or disagree, I am sharing for people who like to think or try "what if".

 

[3eyes]

Was it tip top that had the grafting? Was one of you UK guys I think. Not don I don't think. You could get brave and ask in the UK Growers thread.

And FYI... the Hudson River stinks.

C'mon Jig we aint that bad over at the UK thread are we lol...........well thinking on you maybe rite lol

I bought 3 Lasko 18" oscillating cyclone stand fans at Wally World. Out the door $71.xx. They move decent air for the 114 watts they pull on high setting. I hate the all plastic construction however.

Traded a lil Grape Krush for some Tahoe Og last night with a friend to see how I like her. He has clones and I might need to trade clones depending on how it smokes.

I think it depends on the environment you are curing in. If your RH is low, leaving foliage intact may control humidity in the curing area. Same diff when people argue about PH-ing. If you "Just water them" then you have amendments in the soil, or your tap water is 6 to 7. PH your water. No, it's not worth it. Ya it is, Etc.

Something I consider is how long the drying takes. I trim mine right off the stalk, but the buds still take around 7 days to dry. If my buds were only taking 3 days to dry, slowing that down by leaving the trimming for later would be optimal. I imagine taking my 7 days out to 10 by trimming after would make things smoother, but I can't be bothered. 7 days (and sometimes longer) is too long for my patience anyways. And when trimming dry, I can't get that perfectly manicured look I can when doing it wet.

Speaking of trimming I picked up a nice little dryer thingy from ikea. $5. Couldn't find a link, but it looks like the mesh things some of you guys use, that are round and have multiple levels.

I saw those. Thought about punching the guards off because I questioned the efficiency. Hmmmm.

lol I run mine without the front, I would take the back off, but Ill be high and walk into it and break it and prolly hurt myself. They rubg up at the wrong price and I called them on it , and got then a lil cheaper. The price is $23.84 I think b4 tax. Really good though for an 18" fan that supposedly moves 18-1900 cfm at 114 watts.

You're alright there pal. Some of the others on there like to hit the sauce a little too hard and talk shite. Hehe... bunch of drunks. Lol... can't wait till I get there in person.

 

[whodatnation]

I trimmed before dry for the longest time and just never gave trimming after dry a chance until 8 or so months ago. I gotta say I liked the latter more because of less work mainly. Id pull all fans and small fans off , then when it dried Id take all off but the sugar leaves that have curled over the bud, IMO this protected the nugs during handling and just seemed to keep them more sticky... I dont mind the little extra leaf matter as long as its covered in trichs.

Also, slower is better when it comes to drying/curing imo... Key is controlled environment drying .

 

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

Or you can do like i'mma do in 5 weeks (first havest in months) chop it all up wet and a put a fan directly on it j/k , but i find it harder for me to trim after drying.
