Here’s a real light view of a properly wet trimmed Trizkit photo bud. For all I know this may be the only photo Trizkit that exists! Wouldn’t that be cool!

You could try for a monster crop if you had the time (or want to take a cutting with you to PA, or reveg the whole plant after harvest and take a cutting from there once it's putting out normal leaves.

Thanks Shed. I think I’m just gonna start fresh in Pa. It’s a new day. Why not. But yeah I gotta smoke it before I see if it’s even cutting worthy in any way. Lol.

I'm not sure I don't know much about taking cutting/cloning but I'd try anyways what would it hurt, if this is a one off Trizkit

I just spoke to my buddy and grower friend in Pa. He says dude get some rubber gloves. Lol. I say I like the finger hash. He says you’ll get more with gloves. I say really ok I have them I’ll try it.
Here’s the question: any rubber glove trimmers who save the finger hash out there? What’s the best way to collect it off gloves? Same as fingers, just rub? Or maybe freeze the gloves after and get it off in frozen chunks real easy? Does that work?
Thanks!

2 Cents on Growing Big Autos
Some stoned ruminations fwiw for you guys. So autos. Big autos is the easiest thing on earth and is NOT dependent on what medium you use. You can produce a big huge auto every time no matter what medium you use.
I’ll use my current Strawberry Banana as example. I did with her what I do when I want the auto to be as big as possible. And she’s huge as you see. She’s also organic in soil, arguably (some believe, I used to) the worst medium for big autos. It is not. Big autos happen due to a specific style of training. And if they’re naturally big you can get into the teens of ounces this way with an auto.
I’ll start with the punchline: with autos you’re always on the clock. Obviously they come with a fuse and when it goes they flower. Generally at first go you have no idea how many veg days the plant will give you.
The reason my autos get big is because I almost always get the plant trained as I want it, canopied, and 100% flower ready BEFORE the stretch. This is the key. You gotta get it done before the plant begins to stretch. That way, you do no more training, or just tweaking, and the ENTIRE stretch goes straight into making vertical growth and sweet buds. When you do that, the stems get long, the buds get big and voluminous, and she gets big. This is precisely what I did with the Strawberry Banana. And she’s beyond perfect.
So how do you do that? The key to getting training done early with an auto is to USE ALL THE LOWER NODES. Create an eight or ten cola canopy (the Strawberry Banana I went 12) using nodes 1,2,3,4, and maybe the two from topping at 5. On the SB I used nodes 1-6 and have exactly 12 colas. You’re gonna get two from each node always. Maybe one is way more dominant and you snip the other. But generally you can use them all. Same as any other node. So if you try to use upper nodes for branches, like beyond say node 6, or if you double top, (branch topping), you simply will run out of time most of the time and end up training through the stretch. You can do that, I do if necessary, but then you’re wasting vertical growth opportunities on trading horizontally usually. The more time you waste on that, the less vertical growth the plant will have.
So using the lower nodes and getting it done before the stretch. Then the last piece is to destem effectively. You won’t need all those little side branches if you do it this way. The colas will be all you need. Again, witness the Strawberry Banana it’s exactly that. Eliminate the crap. Do it as soon as you see it. The faster you eliminate flarfy shit the more time she has to put the extra energy into the buds.
That’s honestly all I do. I’ve thought about it, and the above is what I’ve come up with. Of course using coco helps, or whatever. But that formula gets me huge autos more often than not. In whatever I use. It’s as close to foolproof as I can offer you.

What also helps get big autos is culling every plant that doesn't look like it's going to be a big auto!

This is true. I do that too sometimes. Other times, like with the Blue Dream, I let it go to see what it does. I knew the BD was a two three ounce plant way early, it’s easy to tell, you just look. Lol. But it’s Blue Dream. So now in a few days I’ll have a few ounces of BD. But a really good version.What also helps get big autos is culling every plant that doesn't look like it's going to be a big auto!
I trim with gloves and I still haven't figured out how to get the scissor hash off the gloves. I've been told to put them in the freezer and the hash is supposed to then just peel off, but no such luck. Good luck.
How do you get it off the gloves? Maybe I didn't accumulate enough for it to come away from the latex easily.Take the gloves off and throw them in the freezer and boom.... frozen finger hash!!! Yeeaahhhhh baby!!!!

Yeah idk either @Carmen Ray, thus my question. But Scottay says freeze em. That’s what I thought. So maybe you either didn’t have a thick enough coating or maybe didn’t freeze them long enough? Idk.
