already flushing --> no marked improvement --> don't think it's n tox.
this is the part where it gets all "romeo and juliet" around the kitty's house.... he's a "trim it wet then rack it" and i'm a "hang it till it's crispy then trim."do u guys do 2 trims, when trimming og kush? like first trim, then hang then do a final trim?
ain't that the worst? i once did a "job" where the stuff got quick-dried until it was crispy on the outside, then it got packed into totes and shipped an 8 hr drive to where the trim team were waiting. shit sweated it out in the totes and was a sweaty mess by the time we got to it.... you know how it gets wet again before your first "burp"? it was like that. total trimming PIA. 3 scissor strokes where one would have done it on fresh product.... slows down production.... and then the boss comes in to bitch you out about how it's going sooooo slooooow and you're like "i'm gonna throw my scissors at you, you don't shut up."After my first harvest I prefer to trim before hanging. I had a harder time when the buds and leaves got softer. I guess its all about preference.
Really nice looking plants, there, Kitty! Are those OG? Regardless of strain, really enjoy checking out your grows! Great stuff!getting damn close......

depends on the crew. if we can get the team i used to run with (we'll call them Team Cougar), they're easily world-class; they're all ex-hairdressers who spent between 4 and 10 years trimming full-time (5 days a week, 10 hr days) so NOBODY has to go back over their shit, no matter how shitty it starts out. ah, those were the days.....whrn u guys do a wet trim, is that considered the final. or do u guys go over it then clip into bags? do u go into paper first or bags then tumble 3-4 times daily. just wondering.
once its been cut down whole and it gets soggy, i won't touch it until it gets crispy. if you wait long enough (usually about a week, sometimes up to 10 days) you can strike a balance where it's crispy on the outside but the stalks don't 'snap'. at this point trimming is like butter... less scissor strokes because a lot of stuff crumbles off when you rub it. gentle handling is required at this point, but the bling is just amazing.I know exactly what you mean kitty lol that's why I prefer the wet trim. When I chopped my kush I didn't feel like trimming them so I chopped and hung... never again... from this point forward i'll always trim and hang. I understand that it takes them longer to dry doing it your way but it takes too much out of the scissors
Mongo, I do one trim before they hang and that's it. Well unless you count cutting off excess stems before the smoker/patient gets it.
oh kevin, i'm not a breeder. (i have a whole lot of theoretical information and zero realworld experience at it.)new updates on my signature hun and im breeding now so want any input possible that u might have...
