That's almost too much trimming for me, but man, that's about what a really dialed in set up can do for you.
I gotta question for you. I totally screwed my drying curing on my first batch (got super dry and hot when I was away), but even on my second batch... I'm having a hard time getting a decent smell out of autos. Never had this problem before with curing. Are they just less aromatic flowers in general or is there something I don't know? Crystally, sticky, hairy. Hang dried like normal, then into jars. Come out weeks later barely smelling like cannabis. Still tastes and smokes great, but doesn't smell nearly as good as it looks and smokes.
Is this an auto thing? Or a me-doing-it-wrong thing? Can you just run me through your dry and cure process for autos, Tek?

there is a optimum window for flavor
but it is way earlier then you would harvest for yield IMO
auto's dont stink as bad in a jar but and this is a big BUT most take atleast a month cure to get there stink on
if its a super leafy strain i leave everything with trich's on it and let them dry a day hanging upside down then take like a half a sheet of news paper and lightly roll it up leave it for about 6 hours unwrap it then put it on a rack for another 2-3 days then it goes in jars burped twice the first day then usually take it back out on day 2 in jars for a few hours then back in jars
the first pic is a main cola of a afghan kush ryder the others are just some side buds 15x loupe and my cam phone
