hey peeps, hope all is well, i was wondering i have only 2 girlies that i will be chopping soon, my ? is do i cut the small and medium leaves before letting them dry or what, i was thinking on maybe trying some hash, i dont know if 2 plants will do, or am i wasting my time, if i can get a few bowl hits from it why not, what do you all think, thanks again peeps , lot of help greatly appreciate it.
When trimming your buds, take your time to carefully and precisely trim the buds. You can easily finish in 1 days time. Do it right the first time so you dont have to come back at a different time to finish the job.
yea i wouldlook at the thread that tex put up,by short, he recommends hanging them with all leaves intact, then removing the fan leaves, then removing the smaller ones..check it out, its at the top of harvesting curing..:cool0041:
If you do not at least get those big fan leaves off it WILL smell like hay. I've smoked Short's stuff many a times and although it is always very smooth and tasty it smells like hay and has almost no aroma.
I've done the same strains myself so I know it is due to the dying and curing process not the genetics.
sounds like the trimming parties are going well...I finished mine 2 months ago.(7 plants =11 elbows)..i chose to trim it all when its wet ( i finished in 4 days).... then hang and cure(cure to preference...everyone claims they have the specific system for it)...(that nasty hay smell is the chlorophyll decomposing)...then as well as after this...buds will absorb any surrounding smells...decomposing chlorophyll = hay smell....other smelly plants around then...will also reflect in your final aromas.(due to different pollen in the air)
enjoy the tastee goodness
aloha and Gro-On
