Has anyone attempted to trim off all the fan leaves a night or 2 before harvesting? Undress the plant while it's still in soil? Any info would help.
Thanks
Thanks
Its much easier and more efficient to chop the plant down and cut it into secrions and then pull all the fan leaves
And this is a perfect thread for the harvesting and curing section
What difference is it gonna make whether u take the leaves off the plant while its still alive or after u chop it down other than it being much more difficult and taking way longer?I swear I looked for a harvesting section but I didn't see it. I'm sorry.
1. Only reason I ask is because I want to wet trim but don't want to effect the nastural dry proccess by trimming before it dries. I figured undressing them the night before my make the wet trim less consequential.
2. I plan on chopping and sectioning branch by branch but only to make the final trim before hanging. My concern was specific to fan leaves. If there is no downside to trimming wet, then I won't bother doing it while it's still in soil..

I start to take large fan leaves off during the last 2 weeks to allow light to penetrate further into the canopy and as I chop branches, ill take off the larger fan leaves as well. I leave everything else on and hang dry for a week or so, then put into a big 28 gal tote box as I prepare to trim and that starts the curing process, then directly into jars if its dry enough, or into shoe boxes if it needs to dry out a bit more, and then into jars for a month or more
I hate a wet trim myself. i think it leaves a hay taste, too much chlorophyll is left in the buds
My concern is lose of trichs too. Once it dries, don't you lose alot more trichs then you would if wet?
Someone once told me this shit is an art not a science. I tend to lean that way myselfThere's plant fact and preference. I've noticed that very few actually understand plant fact and have set their ways based on preference of others.
Something tells me professional growers don't think along the lines of "it's your preference". I'm sure they use plant facts to increase efficiently and quality..
Idk.. man.. I like to do things that actually matter. Not my own personal complexities and bias based on the preferences of others.
That's why I ask alot of questions. Hoping to get someone who can provide a tid bit of factual info that I can then use..
