Re: New City Grower

Some of the growers buds almost look "molded" to shape and perfection. Too perfect to be done by just cutting. there must be something else involved....

Re: New City Grower

they are often turned or rotated a couple times during this process as well which helps account for the pressed looked.

Pressed look, exactly.

I trim all fans and the tips of the sugar leaves when the branches are wet - let 'em dry until the stems break but don't snap ... then a final close trim with good scissors, to get the last of the sugar leaves.

Re: New City Grower

i forgot they are hung to dry first off though to remove the initial moisture!

Re: New City Grower

theirs a good grow method ive watched that involves flushing 2 or 3 times during flower, i sent some members links to the strain hunters grow vids where they flush their plants 2 or 3 times during flower as this promotes bigger buds or at least thats what they suggest, they flush then totally let the grow medium dry before starting to feed again, its all about getting the most oxygen to the roots so flushing the nutes and letting the medium go bone dry helps the roots just take in nutes which in turn helps increase bud size,

they do this in all their grow vids and they get amazing results

This is covered in my flushing rant, DP. Go check it out. Many people never flush unless the have a problem or are getting ready to harvest. Pophylactic flushing prevents problems from happening in the first place by removeing the unused ioized salts from the medium. When they build up over time you get lockout and pH issues.

Re: New City Grower

to get buds like that its all about the drying and cure method, if you dry to quick then the buds dont relax and stay nice and firm, instead the bud stays fairly open and fluffy,

i dry to quick and find my buds dont end up relaxing or resting like they should, ill be drying much slower with this harvest so i can compare the results with previous grows,
for trimming i remove all the fan leaves on the plant and any leaves im not keeping for hash, then i cut each bud off and do my best to cut the leaves off at the stem but if i cant get to the stem because its deep inside the bud then ill trim as close to the bud as possible, i dont smoke leaf so i prefer to get rid of as much as possible,

so this time round ill try to let the buds dry a lot slower and hopefully this lets them firm up instead of drying to quick,

Re: New City Grower

like i said that press is usually from their own weight in large paper bags or on newspaper. people desire thast look here when i sell but they dont like that much leaf

Re: New City Grower

I seem to remember Cultivator saying somewhere that he was going to do a tutorial-type post on his dry/cure method. I'm going to have to hunt that down. His buds are always so pretty.

Re: New City Grower

I agree with canna. I think I read cult saying it's just because the buds are rock solid dense they dry that way. Iv seen better examples of the buds described Han the above and the look almost pressed dryed and pressed n pretty

Re: New City Grower

Yup.Bob again.

Re: New City Grower

for number five, am I allowed to put my trimmed and dry buds into a foodsaver vacuum machine and leave them for a week before going in the cure jar. Vaccuum packing makes them solid as rocks - even if they were quite fluffy to start with.
