I never knew trimming could be so tiring

[RonnieB2]

The last 2 days was 10 hours each day of trimming bud. Im not used to it, so my back is killing me and I'm a little tired. I had to sharpen my scissors 5 times, my fingers are a sticky green mess. But this is some pretty bud

It's nice to have your own stuff though.

Looks like some serious pet hair in there. yuck. Keep the pets away from the grow and don't bring it in on your clothes. Burning hair really compromises the flavor of your hard work.

I got over trimming. I just let the buds get a little bit over-dry and put on nitrile gloves and do it all with my fingers. Rub the gloves together and peel off the hash when necessary. Processed about a pound this way in about 3 hours yesterday. Have to use the trimmers every so often but 90% of work done with fingers and I much prefer it this way. Product comes out similar to machine trimmed. I used to spend multiple days per harvest with fiskers and rubbing alcohol. Fuck that.

if its a hair it fell out of my beard

 

[RonnieB2]

I can't believe this is a Fastbuds strain. They really surprised me good and bad, but mostly good. I just wish their genetics were more stable

It could be a fiber from a carbon filter sock or something, either way best to pick it out before smoking.

Out of curiosity, was this an auto?

Yeah a filter on the intake should help.

OOHHHHHHH that....Yeah I made a rookie mistake and used an afghan to cover a window needless to say that was a bad idea with the fan blowing...Yes this is an auto flower. Autoflowers are hitting over 30% THC now, and just incredible bud structure in 8-12 weeks

Unless it sheds it's own fibers. I had a buddy that tapes one of those cheap blue furnace filters over his intake hole on his closet grow. He ended up with blue fibers all over his flower.

I figured it was an auto, note how many cystolith hairs it has? They seem like trichomes until you look closely and see they have no heads (where the resin is).

No shit! Never saw that.

I use a stalking over the intake. Ladies extra large so when my girlfriend sees my amazon history she thinks im a REAL FREAK.

Its pretty damn potent. They look like trichomes to me but who knows

 

[RonnieB2]

Looks like heads to me. But I could need my glasses

 

[RonnieB2]

Definitely trichomes

I dont have the option for clean room environment here. I could lose my home if caught growing it there. You folks in the legal states take that for granted. Even people who live in states where it's decriminalization. Is now just a slap on the wrist. Here? It's still more criminal than methi think. I could get serious time for 4 plants. Im sorry I don't have pristine grow conditions. Its a guerilla grow in a barn. Im sure there's a few hairs in there. But you do what ya gotta do

Not badmouthing your grow.....it's why I said "nice to have your own stuff" a filter on the intake to your area would help you enjoy better smoke.

Im new to growing, this was my first grow. I wanted the full experience. I got 1.4 pounds cured off 4 plants, with less than 400 watts between 3 lights. I got over my case of nerves and pulled the trigger on a Growcraft X3-500 during black Friday...I can't wait to see what my yields will be now
