Its not as bad. Theyre brittle so they come right off
Its not as bad. Theyre brittle so they come right offHow much more difficult would you say the dry trim is than wet? I've done wet every time, and did once have the permanent grassy smell cos I ran a dehumidifier in the tent. I'd like to try a dry trim to see the difference for myself. But I'd rather not be spending half a day with the fiskars picking out curled up crispy sugar leaves from inside my buds. Or is it not as bad as I imagine?

My plants were not particularly leafy. But I really didn’t notice that much of a difference in difficulty. I did notice that it was a lot easier to miss a section of the bud while spinnng and trimming. The lack of the hay smell was worth it for me. Just use a drip pan or trim bin and get in a comfortable position. Not to bad at all.
I trim a pound a day(8 hours by hand) dry weight. I use fiskers with spring action and I smoke the scissor resin to keep me going. I love to trim in the sunlight on a tray so i can see any bugs, dirty, dust grime, crime , mold, and hair! Love me some nice clean buds trimmed to the medicinal grade standard of no leaf just pure bud.
I would recommend against jarring and then leaving for a few days. You’re re going to need to burp them within the first 24 hours. I’m afraid freshly jarred buds, after a few days of being sealed, would be a compacted wet mess at the bottom of the jar. Great environment for mold to take hold. I think the lesser of the two evils would be to leave it drying, then jar when you get back and can do a proper cure.Update...
They're still hanging since Sunday-monday. Temp 68. Humd. 58. Branches arnt snapping yet but they're close..
I have a problem though. I have 2 leave for 3 days unfortunately tomorrow morning. So either I have to jar them 2night, a day or 2 early, or Tuesday night when I return, a day or 2 late..
How do I go about about it? Which is the lesser evil. Maybe turn my fans down a bit and run humidity at 65 to prolonge..

If you can decrease the temp to 60*f and leave the humidity where it is, that should extend the drying time.
I haven’t used them yet, so I didn’t want to suggest something I haven’t tried myself. Would he not need to open up the bags for a few days?Paper grocery bag
Turned out fine.. Tent humidity was 62% and temp 68 so in the end it needed an extra 2 days post return to hang. A did a wet trim and the bud turned out beautiful.. So happy I took that route.How did your crop turn out?
