Fresh is best, but if you don't have time to trim it when fresh, hang it then trim it when dry. It will be okay.dont understand
trim when plant is fresh
when I was looking at the plant there was a good concentration of crystals on the smaller leaves attached to the bud. Is that OK? It doesn't smoke harsh.
you should always trim when fresh imo... and as for the trim and the popcorn itself .. keep it .. freeze it straight away (you dont need to dry it first) and get a set of bubblehash bugs and make yourself some top grade bubblehash from the stuff people throw away. i do a crop of 6-8 and always get around 7 -14 g in bubblehash from my trimThe trinmming is only so it dries faster? Reason I'm asking, is when I was looking at the plant there was a good concentration of crystals on the smaller leaves attached to the bud. Is that OK? It doesn't smoke harsh.
yo, curing is the joint. Took your and roseman's advice. Cured 14 days, fecking kick ass weed it has become.I trim the fan leaves and any other leaves that have a visible stem before hanging it to dry. I leave the sugar leaves or inner leaves alone; once my buds are done hang drying I trim the longer inner and sugar leaves but leave the shorter smaller ones alone; then off to the paper bags they go.

Thanks for the info good jobyou should always trim when fresh imo... and as for the trim and the popcorn itself .. keep it .. freeze it straight away (you dont need to dry it first) and get a set of bubblehash bugs and make yourself some top grade bubblehash from the stuff people throw away. i do a crop of 6-8 and always get around 7 -14 g in bubblehash from my trim bonus imo !! hope that helps
ps try not to handle your buds massively when trimming then hanging... you ensure you get a better smoke from undamaged trichome production than if your handle it poorly and repeatedly before hanging.
How is this so?Trimming dry will give you prityer buds if thats what your into but if your going for yield wet is the route
It also wont taste quite the same until it sits in a jar for 1-2 months SOLID.i find it easier when its wet, and it will dry faster, and will be ready to smoke in half the time
