the Clementine
I like it too! It has the vigorous structure and yield of the Tangie, with a much more pronounced grapefruit flavor. Mine is like a grapefruit pastry in a bakery. Incredible! I can't wait to try it.
The most mature buds here are Clementine, except for the first one which is Paki.
Yum! 
There is a discussion about wet vs dry trimming over at Duggans and Neiko mentioned you do dry, care to comment. Most think it's much more work but the way Neiko does it sounds easier. Also, is the end product better, more flavor, terps, etc...

I pull off fan leaves and other leaves that don't have much resin, or are necrotic.
Then I wash and hang. Final manicure is done dry. I do it this way because I covet the washed sugar leaf....it's the best part of the harvest IMO, and also the least valuable---for now, till people stop acting like lemmings and realize that the resin glands on the leaves are better than those on the flowers. But that process of enlightenment might take a while!
The next step is to sell the buds, sugar and fan leaves intact, right on the stem. Then I can see how it was grown, look for evidence of pests, etc. But the market isn't ready for that.
Thanks Doc! I am going to try this but am going tho let them trim themselves in the jar like Neiko does then try some of the "shake" in the jars, sound ok or would you recommend I try trimming the sugar leaves before jarring? I am not concerned about bag appeal, it's all for us.
Doc, I'm curious - how's the demand for herb evolving in recreational markets? I don't have access to much of a grapevine here, but when it comes up, I keep getting surprised at how little users know about cannabis. They don't seem like they identify or look for "quality".
With all the strains available now on the open market, I'm disappointed that users/customers are stuck on taste and potency. It's like everyone is looking for the fruitiest and strongest bowl of punch, y'know? Yuck!
For instance, in your world, what percentage of people you communicate with are interested in the subtleties, the character, etc?

I wouldn't trim it at all if that's the case. Just pull off the large, resin-free leaves and anything crispy.

I'd say maybe 5% of regular cannabis users know much beyond Indica/Sativa. Just like novice wine drinkers, they're totally fixated on big, loud, fruity flavors.
This is changing, but it will take time. What I usually run into is a person who takes 2 hits and says, "im good." and is then stoned out of their mind for the rest of the evening.
Those that listen to me, or trust me when I say "take 10-15 hits of this, not 2 and you won't be as high" are the ones who catch on to the subtle, earthy, cannabis-exclusive terps.
Note: for those not familiar with Rasta-style smoking, you're actually extremely high after 15 hits....but there's no disconnect or worry between your stoned mind and your sober mind. No anxiety. The feeling of well-being transcends the feeling of being impaired. High Brix weed is quite unique in this effect. You'll get a headache if you try it with hydro and you could easily get sick if the weed has been sprayed with all kinds of crap, like most of it is.
Well lobster was a poor man's food until people smartened up!
True story!! Fed to prisoners......lol....not so much anymore! Now I want a lobster roll!
Ok, so on the 15-20 hit thing. Doc made sure I got there in Jamaica. I had to tap out on night 1. A shared joint of Lemon Paki and was wondering if I was going to be able to hang with the pros. I was so F'n high I just had to take a break. Night 2 and on I made the 20+ hits. It is surprising, all of a sudden you can function perfectly and you are just in tune with everything around you. I'm sure I smashed my receptors and had to take a little break when I got home. We finished the last night with a giant cone of every strain we sampled or close to it plus some pretty good shatter that a guy gave us after watching us for a few days. We were inspecting the local produce with a loupe and he comes over and engaged us saying he'd been watching us for a couple days and wanted to know what we were up to. If I remember right he was in Jamaica trying to start an extraction company or something. Of course he got some samples from us too. Anyway that cone was some serious shit. We smoked it right at the restaurant after dinner....how cool is that?! So I highly recommend taking 20 hits or more in Jamaica!

I study
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

Retiring to Uruguay? Surely you have a plan to keep your BRIX empire up and running.
I get the impression that Uruguay is the plan...

Yep! I do exactly this on all days that end with a "y." I don't smoke during the day....except sometimes on weekends or vacation....but at night 20-40 hits is very common.
As for smoking in restaurants....that's what I loved about jamaica and is what I love about Uruguay. Good food, good friends and good weed.....good life.

I was inspired by your passion and description when you described Uruguay and decided I want to take a vacation of the country.
So I tell my wife this and she ask where I'd like to go? I told her maybe south America I hear it's beautiful and I'd like to visit machu picchu. We got to talking and decided to meet in the middle, now I guess we're going to Rome
