Somebody mentioned in the T4 thread that when dry there pot had very lil smell....my situation is similar....
I used to dry in paper grocery bags on a smaller scale, the hang time drying racks are notorious for drying too fast....
I'm thinking for the 1st initial dry using them and then going to paper bags for the curing...

Whaddya think?View attachment 472096

I dry like billyboat at 65d /60 h for 7 days but then I go to bags for 3 days or so. I have a drying rack but am starting to go back to tomato cages as I find it dries better or evenly hanging as apposed to 1 side getting all squashed but I'm not chopping down 5 rooms and I still like to trim personally

Never did the whole plant hang, I could try putting the dry buds through the T4

Thats one of the reasons we quit using a machine. Budz lost way too much bag appeal.

In order to get that smell, you need to slow that drying down. Back in the day when we used machines, I had a humifider, ac, and a dehuy in the dry room. 60 degrees, 60% humidity. Low and slow. We never used paper bags or anything. If you can get the evnviro right, it will take 5-7 days for those trimmed buds to dry.

Or try out one of the dry trimmers. As you can whole plant hang. Let dry for 10 days and then machine trim them.

Looking good over there!

Thanks....
The T4 can do dry buds, but just harvested is recommended. ...I'll try a few dried...experiment a lil...but it's so much easier to do in my initial thought. ...

I was a little worried about the apparent loss of smell from using the T4 but when the flowers are broken up they still have a nice aroma. The machine definitely sucks off a little of the outer bud terps but all things considered I believe the speed to effort trade off is worth it. A dedicated drying room would be nice also. But then where would one sleep? ;)

I personally dont like the dry trim machines. When the trichs are dry they are so much easier to damage/lose. I imagine those things knocking off way more trichs and doing an inferior trim. Never used one but i would like to see one in the flesh and how it really performs.

I have not personally used a dry machine, but I have a buddy who rocks one and with the right strain it kicks ass. Yes, it still needs some finally cleaning up, but his meds def smell way better then when he was wet trimming.

Any loss of smell or bag appeal just brings the meds from AAA++ down to b grade indoor, in which the market is super flooded with...One thing I just don't understand is, we spend 90+ days growing these plants and giving them all the love we can...and then come harvest everyone is rushing to get them trimmed...

Not hating one anyone but I hate machine trimmed buds.

I don't necessarily disagree with what you say. But the people who want connoisseur grade are most likely growing for themselves anyway. Unfortunately I'm in a black market country with no signs of tolerant laws anytime soon. The prospect of hiring trimmers just won't work for my situation and the idea of trimming multi units is just not a task I can accomplish alone. In this market beaster quality vietnamese warehouse garbage is going for higher than my OG quality, well flushed and paid for power gear. In an educated consumer market hand trimmed should be fetching a higher price for sure. Most people here don't know or necessarily care about whether it is organic or not, hand trimmed or not or even if its been treated with PGRs or flushed. They know mine is the best around the area and is grown with the consumer in mind. I love my T4. There are plenty of worse machines that could be used. The only complaints I have had is that the OGs are too strong.

You need to bounce those racks for the first 2-3 days to stop that flat sided look.

beautiful pictures labud. I was wondering where you got your soaker from and if you recommend it. I've tried at least 4 different ones from lowes, home depot, and amazon... can never seem to find a good one without a restricter in cali.

I'm starting to harvest the GWS ...what a yielder, the main stalk is as big around as your thumb, the branches as big as some fat fingers.... I need bolt cutters ....off 3 plants I filled up a grocery bag and a quarter. ..the smell is amazing, at just 62 days...I'll post up some dry weights in a few days
