Yeah, shit happens.

And as soon as I've got enough in a baggy I really can't be bothered, but you mustkeep on or it'll dry too much and you'll be left with dry yet harsh weed.

Set a whole day aside for cropping and manicuring. That way you wont be dissapointed when it takes hours and hours.

Best.

I follow the old rule that if it looks like a leaf is dying and it comes off with a gentle tug then it is ok to pull it. Otherwise I leave it on until it comes off very easily.


By the way, happy 100th post to me. WOOOHOOOOO
