Thank you, guys!
Do you like to trim wet or dry?
My manicure is divided into two stages, as well as the drying itself.
First stage of circumcision: rough.
First, I cut the plant whole. I divide into large branches. Then I cut off the leaves from these branches. Then I hang the branches upside down.
After that, I go up every day and feel the buds with my hand. But I'm not feeling the big buds and branches, but the smallest ones - they dry faster. I do not wait for the branch to start crunching - until this moment, small buds can dry out. I feel the bud itself. As soon as the surface of the bud begins to crunch, the second stage begins.
Fine cleaning. I remove the branches and use my hands to disassemble each cone so that there are no branches and remnants of leaves in it. The buds are not completely dry yet.
The second drying phase begins:
As I said, the buds are not completely dry, only from above, when you feel them, they crunch. I pack the under-dried, crispy buds tightly in a glass jar so that there is as little air in the jar as possible and close the lid tightly.
The next day, I take the jar out of the fridge and take out the buds. Yesterday they were crunchy on top, but today they no longer crunch, they all look like plasticine. I put the buds on the newspaper and leave them for half an hour. + I come, feel it with my hands and feel that the buds are no longer the same as plasticine, they start crunching again. I send them back to the jar and put them in the refrigerator.
I carry out this procedure every day, until, when I once again take out a jar with buds, I run my finger along the inside of the jar, and there is no trace left in this place ... it means that the moisture has already evaporated. If there is moisture in a closed jar, then there will certainly be perspiration on the wall inside.
After I am convinced that there is no perspiration, I ... once again put the buds on the newspaper to completely eliminate moisture, and after that I also put the buds in the jar, close the lid, and send them to the refrigerator, but already on the spill, on conservation)), do not open the can anymore after that.
The second stage of drying takes up to five days. Drying is slightly shorter under normal conditions.
Further, I try to keep it in the refrigerator for at least two weeks on curing. After two weeks, the buds change smell and taste, become more gloomy.))) This is when you smoke you understand.)))
I advise everyone to cure buds for at least two weeks before smoking.
