BeezLuiz & LiquidIntel Are At It Again: Outdoor Grow Season 3

Yeah its all cut. Now for the dreaded trim jail
Trim jail is done :). I cut, wash and trim a little at a time. This beast took me a record setting 6 days of trimming - on average, about 6 hrs per day. In the past I've had lots of help from my kids and their friends, but this season (due to Covid) it's been mostly just me. My wife helped with the fan leaves and my son stopped by after work a couple nights - otherwise it probably would have taken me 7 or 8 days!

One thought I had while trimming: Will the bud I trimmed on the first day be a noticeably different potency than the stuff I trimmed on the 6th day? :hmmmm:
 
:bravo: :adore:

I can see how 6days of chopping and trimming would lead to that wondering! :D ...

possibly. But I mostly say that because you started at the bottom of the plant ;)
 
Super job Beez! It all looks so neat and organized. OMG! I go out to the greenhouse, cut a mess of branches, bring em in the garage and set them on cardboard, put on some music and go to town, trim, wash, hang the choice colas and rack the rest....leaves everywhere! 2nd trim is saved and goes in the pot. They most definitely do not look like the perfect, denuded specimen you have there. Right on brother! Stay stoneder!
 
Great Job, Beez!
Nothin left but the finishing touches- drying, curing, and smoking!
Your drying area must be a sight to behold right now...:oops:
 
I would guess no if there was not a noticeable difference in the trichomes.
The trichomes did indeed have more amber on the last day vs. the first day of trimming, but...

as Amy points out, I did work from the bottom up, so the 6th day was also the top of the plant, which tends to amber up a little more quickly.
Now your hand can get completely out of shape for the holidays!
Actually, I'm getting this harvest season complete just in time. My surgery date is set for the 18th to fix my hand.
It all looks so neat and organized.
Thanks Fred, I've been told that I can be a little OCD sometimes.

I actually have the first couple days of work put into turkey bags already. Keeping my hanging basket busy with loading and unloading. Smells pretty potent in the drying shed right now, although this plant was probably the stinkiest plant I've grown, and not in a good way. I can't describe the smell, but it isn't very pleasing. Hopefully it will get better as it cures. I'm trying a couple new cure methods this go around. I put some buds into a paper bag and into the frig for the low 'n slo method. Also, I'm trying out a cob cure. Excited to see how they turn out. :popcorn:

Congrats Beez
Thanks PC!
:thanks:

And today was some non-harvest related activities such as mowing my lawns and getting some hammock time in. :cool:

I've gotten all the Killer Haze buds into a turkey bag now and stabilizing at about 68% humidity. Will slowly bring it down to 62% before going into jars. Lots of shake from this plant because there were lots of small buds that I decided just to grind down into the shake/trim bucket. I consider it more shake than trim because it's almost entirely buds and sugar leaves - no fan leaves or stems.

Here's the progress on my cobb cure attempt. I put approx 1.25 oz of wet buds into a corn husk, vacuum sealed it and threw it into my hot tub for 24 hrs. (I set the hot tub to 104F). Then I unsealed it, let it dry for an hour or so, then resealed it and placed in on a heat matt (approx 80F) for one week. Today I unwrapped it and am letting it dry again for another hour or two. Then back into the vacuum seal for another week. Hopefully I'm doing this correctly. :nervous-guy:

 
In case you miss my friendly reminder :cheesygrinsmiley:
Thanks for that reminder, Shed. :thanks: I haven't forgotten about the tutorial, just finishing up on this year's harvests and getting ready for my hand surgery next week. Maybe while I'm recuperating I can type "one-handed" and post the tutorial. :slide:
