[lmoore2680]

Put it in paper bag for 2 days after hung for 7 days then cure easy enough. U will lose your super dank smell for the first week but believe u me it comes back during cure

Here's a few more pics
Just under a 1/4 of trichs are amber

I would say a week or a few, lots of white hairs still. (?)

 

[Ronin970]

All the hairs that aren't on the foxtails turned a while ago...
I'm reading & being told that the hairs/trichs that are on foxtails won't ever mature/turn amber.
i've never had foxtails before, hence the dilemma.
Thanks!

ok sounds good. but how do you technically know 100% that no mold will grow? i believe, if i am not mistaken, that things like mold, fungus, etc. can grow virtually anywhere that any moisture is present long term, especially if food is available like would be in plant matter. so why would none grow on moist bud?

 

[tyke1973]

Mould if you have mould on any bud then close down the shop and get the room right keep a close eye on the metres and then you will not get mould

now it's time to start cutting. i never cut the whole plant. i'm working with large plants so i don't want to bite off more than i can trim. i typically take 1 to 2 branches at a time. i start where the plant appears to be ripest. by cutting only one branch i can stop at any time. if i start trimming and decide i may be a little early then i just stop. i also do not like to EVER lay my buds down for prolonged periods. it causes the leaves to stick to the bud and becomes difficult to trim.


so i start with 1 branch....View attachment 29331


i trim it down to manageable sized pieces. i find a lot of fatigue when trimming is from trying to hold up huge limbs while trimming. i like mine small.....View attachment 29332



i like to leave little handles......View attachment 29333

how do i know when to harvest when i don't have a microscope any longer I'm a newbie still at the harvesting and well just need a bit of guidance
