Trimming, like growing, is one of those things that seems to have as many techniques as growing itself. I remember when I chopped my very first plant about 20 years ago, I thought - NOW WTF do I do?
After my first trim job, I searched the old overgrow to see what others were doing. That’s actually how I found out about bubble hash. From that point on, I decided to trim in 2 stages. The first stage is to get everything off the plant that won’t make good concentrate, and stage 2 is to trim as close to the bud as possible, collecting the trim for future use.
My trimming technique gives me great material to make concentrates, and it keeps my trichomes in pristine condition after trimming and curing. HOWEVER…I feel like I’m missing something…
My buds look yummy, but they don’t look like this:
Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t trade my buds for those buds, but I’m curious to know how you get the rounded, smooth look. Is it the drying technique? The curing process?
Let’s see your weapons of choice for combat in trim jail - and your results!
back in high school i was once buying weed off a guy and it was the nicest trimmed bud ive ever had. I later found out he had a little coke addiction and he would sit there and pick every single little leaf off the buds
jokes aside when i seen the bud before he did his trim job it really was amazing how much the effort improved bag appeal
Fortunately… I no longer feel your pain I just throw stuff in here straight off the branch about 5 days in and jar it after. It’s been magical guys, it makes me so happy.
To be fair I have a Magic Trim trim bag, 2 Trim Bins, and probably 8 pairs of different brands of scissors laying around (fiskars are my favorite brand after trying many) from the beforefore times
2850 after taxes and I fucking love it, I had an ounce or so I could’ve hand trimmed from an auto a couple days ago and threw it in there instead doubt I’ll ever hand trim again at this point
It leaves little happy hands™ () on some sugar leaves but a quick downward pull snaps them off for a completely clean nug. Doesn’t damage them whatsoever
I bought a spin bowl trimmer a decade ago for a couple hundred, I remove everything I don’t want for hash, fans stick etc. Throw them in spin 10 times slowly. Open roll buds, spin 5 more times remove buds and repeat.
All the contents in the bottom make hash with. Can fit an ounce to 2 on top at a time.
Its awesome. I can’t believe I didnt think of it sooner. It is a game changer. I do go through and do a final manicure for whatever is going to move, just to up the ante so to speak, but for personal stash, nothing but the brush.
Nice! I already had some high hopes for it but that’s good to hear. My hands ache any time I do something tedious like trimming so I needed to find a way to make it easier on myself.
No not missing a decimal unfortunately lol. I gave away 2 lbs paying trimmers an ounce per person for about 8 hours at a time to help with my fall harvest last year, conservatively that’s 3600$ I lost just to have people help me trim.
Not anymore! One man operation up in this bitch now
