So this shitty weather decided my harvest time-line for me. While most of the State is experiencing light rain, Mother Nature decided to take a giant shit on the Cape. High winds and rains. First pic is for context. Usually takes a bit for a Mooring to break and deposit a Sail Boat on the beach! Second, one of several victims! The good news: 4.5# of wet trimmed bud. If I figure 25% end product, not a bad haul per plant for a new grower! While it had a couple of weeks to go, I'm hoping it's still pretty good. I have another 6 hours or so of trimming ahead of me today!

I figure that would happen last night. I told a buddy of mine, "watch for the Jets blowout". Our offensive line sucks, we cant block, we can't tackle, we can't pressure, we can't hold on to the Ball. It's a dumpster fire. Robert Kraft sucks. He's letting the team go to shit. His financials are going to tell the story eventually. I'm sure I'm not the only fan that will not pay big $$ to go watch this product in action.

Started trimming up my Sativa, which were probably a week from chop. The bud rot is going to get real bad with this weather. While I've been cutting out a good amount of rot, I am being left with a good amount of clean (hopefully) weed. I'm wet trimming as a means to 1) accommodate my drying situation better; and, 2) closely inspect for Rot. Check out this bud:

Yup. Sticky as hell! The indica hybrids have smaller buds but they are like superglue!

Out of 12 plants, I've chopped two and gave a buddy all the sugar trimmings and small buds. I basically just kept the choice buds and gave him the rest. I have two more plants that got destroyed by the wind and those are hanging in my shed. I am giving those to another guy. My nephews are coming by for a couple of plants. In the end I am going to keep 4, so I have two more to harvest and wet trim tomorrow. I expect about 10 pounds of wet trimmed bud (a few smaller stems here and there). Hopefully I'll finish up with a couple of pounds of cured bud in the end. I was surprised that people are all excited about getting a freshly chopped plant! They can't wait to come raid this Christmas Tree Lot!

Don't forget to teach them too. Share in the knowledge. I'm sure at least one of them will retain the info. Teach a man to fish...

So, I've been tossing the sugar leaves (wet trim). If I save them, do I need to dry them right away (sugar leaves) or could I just refrigerate them until I'm ready to deal with them? Would be good to hear what others do. Or, is it just a waste of time?

Ageee, the NE struggling sucks, in VT here. Lost whole plants too many times to the rot. Have you ever tried hosing off your plants throughout the season. I find if you are exposed during the night, the worst pests are out, caterpillars and the like. You have to wash off their remnants from the leaves, stems, buds, it’s how rot can start. Hope the flower is good!!

If you have 10lbs of bud you may not need to keep the trimmings. Anything you can do with scraps you can do better with bud.
I ususally keep the trim scrap in a paper bag for awhile, thinking i may want it for something - but i never do.

It does work well for baking - if you can find somebody who needs it, but we usually end up composting it.

Also - remember you only need enough weed to get you to the end of next season. Next year will likely be better, having learned some lessons. I find myself giving away my older jars as I harvest better stuff each season.
