latitude54 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 My Cream Mandy Auto has been hanging in the shed for 2 weeks and still feels quite moist. So I figured that trimming some of the leaves might help things dry out. My Arthritis is playing up at the moment and It’s my first go at trimming. So by the 4th stem it was more of a hack job than fine art. But apart from that and the wife screaming at me about the whole house stinking, I think I did ok?? . 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latitude54 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 It’s never going to win any awards but fuck it! It’s good practice for when the big girls need trimming. one thing I have learned is that I need to take a load more off wet! There were so many leaves to clear off before getting to sugar leaves it was a nightmare in places. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Good enough for jarring fella, not like you need to impress customers. I find myself removing the last little bits of sugar leaves when I'm braking a bud up for the grinder. Do you have any humidity/temperature things to put in the jars so you can keep an eye on the situation? Just incase they need airing out of the jars a couple of times.

latitude54 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Cheers mate. No, I’ve not even got jars yet. was going to leave it another week hanging in the shed as stems are still a bit bendy with no snap to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latitude54 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 @AnonyMice hahaha. The wife is obsessed with bees. They’re everywhere in the house (including on the tablecloth). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hashslag Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Looks good does that mate I've just put mine into a jar a few days ago. The branches were somewhere between snap and bend, but I decided to jar as the flowers seemed well dry enough to me. I say flowers, it's mostly sugar leaves tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latitude54 Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 This lot got put in a jar on Saturday morning and I've ordered a humidity/temperature probe to go in there too. 0.91 ounce isn't very much for the effort thats gone into it but it's my first time. Still got the big girls in the garden ripening up nicely so there will definately be more jars required shortly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latitude54 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 75 RH @ 19C is quite high isn’t it? Do I just need to pop the top off for 10-15 mins a couple of times a day to bring that down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I would spread them out on a clean surface for 20mins each time to bring that RH down to the 58-62% mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the advice I was looking for. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
