touching the buds while trimming and what not

Had a quick question. i know its not a good idea to touch the buds with your bare hands while it is still growing (even what you trim them?) i was wondering if you should use latex gloves or some thing like that.

I trim mine without gloves, just be gentle stone hands, you will be fine.

Stay away from latex, due to the allergy of many people. Even a little bit for someone really allergic is bad.
Bare hands are fine if you wash them prior to trimming. I find using bare hands better. Get a nice thick coating of resin built up and you can rub out some good stickyness!

ok thanks hehe

By all means trim with your bare hands, just dont be hamfisted and rough with the buds, a little finger hash never hurt anybody either. However if you are going to wear gloves, use vinyl ones as the trics wont stick to it for reasons beyond my comprehension.

yes, be clean and gentle..

i use the latex alternative gloves...

i can never get the sticky off my hands... but if you toss the gloves in the freezer for a while, the finger hash just falls off of them.... with no skin cells!

if i touch any of the buds while they are growing, they make my skin break out into a little rash that lasts for a few hours... i read that MJ is related to nettles, maybe this is similar... either way - the oils the leaves make, or the tiny trichomes really work on my skin (as a deterrent), i'm very careful to only touch the plant as i'm stuffing it into a nice bowl where it is promptly burned
