Okay.
The water cure part of my harvest is pretty much finished. Got everything involved with the water cure either put away or thrown away. Threw the homemade carbon filter away. Cleaned out the cure boxes, put all the previously stored stuff back in them, and then stacked them back on the shelf.
The "Water Cure Journal" was kinda fun. Unfortunately, the water cure itself was abruptly halted due to complications.
So. Why not start another journal, this time for the "Trim & Manicure"?
Yeah...why not?
Okay.
Here goes.
Started trimming and manicuring rather early this morning, about 6, starting with the "inferior" looking stuff.
The inferior looking clumps of buds have been drying on the racks (in the drying room) for about 38 hours. A good portion of them bud clumps are dry enough to smoke, even though the branches are quite pliable. Also, a large portion of the "distegrating buds" (from the water cure) are amongst the "inferior" stuff, on the racks.
Much of the inferior stuff on the racks is getting pitched. I will use this opportunity to, first, practice my trimming and manicuring technique, and second, to learn more about the buds, and the plant, and whatever else I can absorb that might be beneficial with future things. All the healthy looking buds will be jarred, but, keep in mind, they could wind up getting pitched as well, especially when I start to get into the trim & manicure of the really primo stuff later.
All the primo stuff, with healthy clumps and nice colas are hangin. Those are at least another day from being dry enough; would be nice if it were longer - a slower dry, even after the water cure (which usually make everything dry quicker) would probably be a real benefit, especially since I didn't do a complete water cure (at least 7 days).
Okay. So I'm taking a break from the Trim & Manicure to write this up and post a pic or two of the so far finshed buds.
Okay?
Okay.
Here goes:
Yeah..
I know I'm not still doing the ultimate primo "Trim & Manicure". Still quite a bit of leaf in there huh?
To be perfectly frank, I don't enjoy this part of DIY with Cannabis. Fact, I hate it. But, I gotta do it cuz noone else is gonna do it for me, unless I pay them a pretty penny to do so...and I aint gonna do that no how.
