Revive Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) How do my fellow grow buddys.. always been a wet trimmer for many years well all of of my growing life but trying something a little diff this season to save the hours of back breaking boring wet trimming my buds.. the new method is just a rough trim onsite then hung as is in the dry room.. now the plan was to tidy up the buds before they hit the jars but I really don't have the time on my hands for this either.. now I have tried a few buds and found it really quite easy to pick of the sugar leaf as I go so now im thinking why don't I just cure it like it is.. save the agg and faff. I can even spend an hour here and there to do a few ready for the weeks medicine.. so wanting some opinions from you time served dry trimmers as to what your take is on curing with the sugar leaf intact.. big thanks in advance Edited October 2, 2021 by Revive 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Pamplemousse Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I cure with all sugar leaves intact. When I'm ready to vape to remove the leaves into a small shake box. When fullish a few mins shaking and I get some lovely kief. Leaf then goes in big jar. When jar full I qwiso the lot for some ok concentrate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpoolbouncer Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) I do exactly this. I am lazy af when it comes to trimming. Gave up giving a fuck about jars of perfectly trimmed bud ages ago around the same point my tent got bigger and had more weed than I could shake a stick at. Fuck hand trimming a key of weed a time........especially wet trimming .fuck that for a game Edit. Most of my mums tend to be pretty easy trimmers with little leaf on anyway. Outdoor bud might rile even the laxidasical me Edited October 2, 2021 by blackpoolbouncer 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the input dude.. was worried it may effect the taste of the bud with those leaves in there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Someone gave me a tip for removing dry sugar leaves the other day, use a silicon basting brush. Apparently it makes it effortless although I worry it would knock a lot of trichs off. Could be a handy time saver pre jars or just a handy thing to have on the rolling tray to help clean them off once cured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Depot Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I like to cure my headstash with the sugar leaves on, to keep the buds in the best possible condition, but most of my general daily smoking weed gets trimmed up when dry. I think the only real benefit to trimming is having more material for hash runs, but that does make it worth the effort to me. I am pretty lazy tho, so anything that's too much hassle to trim usually just ends up getting hashed as is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The terps are well preserved with sugar leaf intact. All big fans removed but I leave everything else and call it a rasta trim. If you have a spare £275, you can tumble them sugar leaves off in a Trim Bag, but who's got 275 spare? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was @Shumroom that uses the baking brush.. yeah I worry that would knockoff the trichs too.. tbh took about 1min to hand pick them off a few buds.. no drama for me that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I can't see why there would be any problem leaving the sugar leaves on for the cure, it's better to leave the buds intact really I'd think. I must admit I do like the buds to look tidy, I know that won't affect the final consumption be it eating/vaping/smoking. I go to all that trouble of growing it so I want it to be as good as I can get it. I do love my trim though, I seem to make loads of it. Not done a bubblehash run for ages now, I've still got a few grams from the last batch, I mostly use the trim for making green dragon now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same approach this season.. gonna just grab and freeze the smalls airy nugs for when I'm ready to do a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NezA Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) I use a silicone baking brush to dry trim nowadays. If done correctly you shouldn't lose any of your resin heads on the actual bud. The aim is to just catch the sugar leaves with it, the bristles shouldn't ever contact the bud. You just use it to pull the sugar leaves back "against the grain" so to speak. E2A: sometimes you can't avoid it and it will contact you bud but just do your best to avoid it as much as possible. Any kind of trim method will degrade the quality of your bud to an extent, all you can do is minimise it as much as possible. I collect way less "trimmers hash" from the bristles of the brush than I used to get when I used scissors so based on that I'd say it preserves your resin heads.
