Keith's First Plant

[InTheShed]

Most people start with wet trimming and after a couple of grows and bigger harvests you realize you have to optimize and improve on your methods.

The buds will die off slower and dries better with dry trimming IMO. I remove the larger leaves but that's about it. Wet trimming also breaks the cell membrane barrier all over the plant making it more prone to be inoculated by bacteria and rot during drying.

I grow outside and wet trim so I can inspect every flower for mold, fungus, little bugs, and caterpillars before I hang them up to dry. That way there's nothing in them that could cause surprises when it's time to cut them off the lines.

If I grew in a tent I might give dry trimming a try though.

Lies! I know you, like me, would still be looking for pests and mold! You may say you might but Shed dry trimming just doesn't sound right!

I dry trimmed once on my Super Silver Cracks but it made me so nervous the whole time they were drying-what if something is homing it up in there, I wondered.

Nothing was but fact of the matter is, there could have been and there always can be and I can avoid some nasty and disheartening things just by wet trimming (even though I am in a tent)

Either way my friend, you are going to be in trim jail forever and again, I wish I was closer to help. God Speed my large plant growing buddy

Hello Not so nice here today rain off and on all day. I did check the plants and they are doing fine. Not much to report on the flowering everything is wet and I will not have any pictures to share. Tomorrow will bring a better day I hope. I hope everyone had a good Tuesday. I hope my sour diesel will show more pistils tomorrow I will have to wait and see. Everyone have a good night and I will check in again tomorrow. Later

Same here chitty weather but the plants can use some down time to take up nutrients so it may help.

We had rain all day yesterday and on n off today but I got almost 2gls. of rainwater that my Tigers enjoyed with their @Prescription Blend until runoff. So you know that saying about lemons and no not the Keith kind. lol CL.

I think we both need to invest in a bowl trimmer. CL

They are around $120 on amazon.

Hey Shed, asked Jon yesterday - wait that’s earlier today for you - if he’d ever washed his buds before trim.

Its so counterintuitive, hydrophobic they may be! The outdoor tent we have will probably do it as pests/bugs are far more likely there than ones flowered upstairs.

Good to know!

Sorry that was an ill formed question,
Don’t post while on the ‘phone.

Do you or have you ever washed your buds, Shed?

Good afternoon I was unable to post yesterday so here we go for today. It was a overcast day today and everything is damp. My plants are looking fine with the apple fritter showing more pistils and the sour diesels still in preflower. All three plants got feed. I will be gone for 3 days next week so there will be no posting for me I am going to Maine with my brothers and sisters I will be at Drakes Island in Wells, we got a house for a few days. I will need to get my son to feed my plants during this time. My sickly sour D is doing very good and most of the yellowing is gone. It is going to be a long flowering time for the sour D's looks like the first week of November for harvest on the sour D's. I hope the apple fritter will be ready by the end of October. Hope you all had a good day and happy growing.

Looks like you're growing a proper English hedgerow. Have a great time with the siblings!

They are all looking amazing Keith, and you keep doing whatever you’re doing and by fall you’ll have a load of buds. CL

I give a quick wet trim and then I trim again before jarring. I tried dry trimming once and kept cutting off little pieces of buds. CL

Make sure you can make bubble hash or something with the four pounds of trim on top of the bud you'll have. LOL

I have two rooms one in the attic and cellar.

Cool!

But remember Keith if there’s a bustle in your hedgerow don’t be alarmed now it’s just a spring clean for the May Queen! Ooh and it makes me wonder . Lmao CL.
