I will be interested as well in TK's take on this. We just had the lecture from the lab over the weekend and it was so eye opening to us. It took them a few weeks to come up with this "theory" working with some of the larger growers to try to figure out why their labs were failing so it remains to be seen if there is arguments against this line of thought and it should be very interesting when all the facts and theories are gathered together.Thats pretty groundbreaking news,it makes sense if you think about it though with the cuts being vectors for contamination.I have a whole room of wet trimmed hanging right now,ill have to rethink the way ive been doing it for a LONG time.The thing i find weird is most production facilities machine trim wet and not one person/lab has ever come up with this conclusion before,definitely think this needs more research,i dont trust MJ labs at all myself,seems like they try to make themselves relevant and results are all over the place,id be interested to hear @texaskid's thoughts and experience on this and colorado lab results.Thanks for posting up ITG,we missed you.

did i miss the outdoor pics somewhere :D
def some interesting info on trimming and i to would like to hear tk's thoughts on it.to me it seemed frustrating to trim dry,buds just seemed to crumble too much in my clumsy hands but maybe i waited too long.do you have a prefered dry time befor you guys start trimming or a r/h % you look for?good to see ya back itg
@inthegorge thanks for the knowledge and updates.....sounds like plenty of us are excited for lab follow up on the trimming issue.I will be interested as well in TK's take on this.

We are using Confidence Analytic's mainly because of their lower prices ($50 per strain) and with 80 strains that does come into play. They have been great actually to work with.What lab are you guys using @inthegorge ? Props on your success! I like your Mom n Pop Style! Keep up the good work!!!
You're ready for that walk-in humidor. You're handling your plants much as I do except I prefer to keep them hanging in the low temps, with an RH between 60%-65%. At those low temps and at that RH, you can literally leave the plants hanging until you're ready to handle them.We wait until the plant is clearly dry, stem snaps when it is broken, 5-6 days at 50-60 degrees with right at 50% humidity. Then we have so many plants to trim (1700 right now) so we put the dry plants in big garbage bags to stay fresh and not dry out too much. Check them everyday twice, opening the bag so basically curing in the bag and get to them for trimming as soon as we possibly can. Need more trimmers of course but then you run out of places to have people trim...:) What a problem to have!
I think they were looking at our facebook page but I will post some as soon as my partner is done with my laptop because that is where I store all our photos...and boy do I have a lot!
Yes, this is true. But my thinking is that because WA tends to be so much wetter than CO, and tends to be so throughout the year, that may play a role in what inthegorge is observing.Well spores are every where and competing for environment so the living plant fights it off and dead plant material host it whether or not it grows depends on host environment......just thinking out loud but sounds like a great learning opportunity hear
I agree sea but where ITG is is more like high desert i think,much more arid and lower humidity.Im definitely rethinking the wet trim now,it just makes sense that all those little cuts could be pathways for pathogens to enter.Yes, this is true. But my thinking is that because WA tends to be so much wetter than CO, and tends to be so throughout the year, that may play a role in what inthegorge is observing.
