Yeah....it is 2013, not 2003. The days of hanging a plant and trimming the weed dry with scissors for DAYS is over. Time to wake up everyone.

Get a Trim Pro Rotor. I just wrapped up a 5 1/2 lb trim in 2 days....SOLO. If you still use clippers or (worse) a "trim Crew" it is really time to get with it. A Trim Pro Rotor allows you to trim it DEAD WET as it is being clipped down. 24-48 hrs on a dry rack then into bags. From there it takes about a week of burping to get stable.

Faster...more accurate trim...less labor...no trim crews...no harvest information needed to be shared...CONSISTENT MOISTURE IN BUDS...stellar sugar trim for extracts. A complete no brainer.

Seriously. The days of hanging a plant and clipping by hand ARE OVER.

Peace.

I disagree. The folks I know personally who are using trimmers complain of a lack of smell. I can spot a machine-trimmed bud in a heartbeat, too. Then there's also the idea and concept of spreading the love, so to speak, and hiring humans to do the work of the machine. This is what I prefer when and where I can do it, especially since in this county so many people are out of work.

I'm not saying there isn't a place for the trimming machine, but the trimming machine isn't going to lead to the end of hand-manicured flowers any more than drum machines led to the demise of drummers.

The trend that I'm noticing out here is that people are using the machines to do all the bullshit larfy nugs, and keeping hands on the beautiful top colas.

For people who have no patience or experience in producing/finishing a superior crop.

THC is not water soluble and water curing does not really increase the potency it reduces the overall mass so what you smoke less. Water curing will get ride of quite a bit of junk but the overall product leaves a little bit to be desired visually, it looks like hell. If you water cure do not agitate just let it sit for 24.

I take 10 to 14 days to cure in my drying closet, and than into the mason jars and I burp them once a week for the first 4 weeks that leave them alone.

All the magic is in the curing.


I hand trim but some times I have a load to do and I use a trimmpro rotor I have used most of the trimmers, customers buy them from my shops and I wind up trouble shooting so I have seen them all. No matter what anyone says you can tell a machined trimmed but, that's not a bad thing in my book they can bruise the buds and do knock the try-chromes off. I find most people who have them do so because they are commercial.

When my product gets too dry, it happens, I just mist the bag with RO water and suck out some air till the bag is hugging the buds and seal, sucking the air out will make the moisture disperse evenly through the bag and buds. Leave for 12 to 24 hr and your all good, if still dry repeat.

This is my drying room, I made it out of slab doors so it's 34x34x80 has a vent with fan in the top and a small heater in the bottom when I need it. I can use screen shelves or sticks depending on volume. In there I have some Novocaine that is my cross and Selene from Sannies Seeds. Selene is just beautiful with purple and black buds. She works very well and the bag appeal is 10 out of 10. Fresh trimmed today and now for some finger hash.

By the way this trimming thing has gotten out of hand IMHO people are so fucking picky it's stupid. It's all smoke-able even the small leaves people.

Don't let anyone say woodsmaneh doesn't know what he's doing.

Hey man love your work. But do you end up trimming those lovely girls then cure or do you leave them as shown with only the shade leaf removed?

Thanks

I dry them for about 7 to 11 days like that then do a final trim to collect the sugar leaf for making other products. when ready to come out of the dryer I trim the buds off the branches and put everything in a HD garbage bag and give it a good shaking, this breaks off all the extra leaf and is real easy to do. I hate trimming so that's how I do it most of the time. I also have a TrimPro Rotor that I use when it gets to be too much.

Ok thanks woodsmaneh. That's a productive system you use.

Thanks for sharing it.
