Holy smokes harvesting is a lot of work!

My first harvest and I've processed 3 of my 10 plants so far and wow this is a lot of work. I'm wet trimming and bud washing so it's taking some time, but I can see right away that this is the right thing to do. Labor of love....

Yes, went with AdamInCo method of Hydrogen Peroxide in bucket 1, Lemon Juice & Baking Soda in bucket 2, then bucket 3 & 4 clean water rinse. They're all done and hanging in my tent. I got my wife to wash and hang while I trimmed the remaining 6 or so plants which was a big help. Washing wasn't scary at all. My eyes are messed up from 11 straight hours of trimming and I will never do that may plants in one day again!

Oh even scarier, I seen the lemon juice/baking soda, then warm then cold water, not with the peroxide

Cool video, how much time u think that adds to the drying time?

I wash all my bud. After you do it and see how nasty the water is, I'm sure you'll become a believer. Anyway, I doubt it adds more than 4 or 5 hours to the total dry time. It does seem to improve the overall taste of the bud too.

Oh wow 4-5 hours ain’t shit, when it’s harvest time I might try a bud or two just to do a side by side and build my confidence with it lol

Top cola off one of my clones

. I trimmed at tight as I could, but how do you get those little leaves out that are buried in the bud? Do you guys get in there with the snips or do you just smoke them? Or maybe clean them out when your breaking some up to smoke?

I think ya just smoke what ya can’t get out
