Happy 420 gang! I hope everyone is enjoying this fine day.

It is a beautiful 420 for the wife and I indeed. All of my harvest is in cure stage so very smokable :) :weed:

We started off the day with the Blueberry, it was berry flavored but not intense blueberry like I had hoped for, the high was nice and uplifting, the stone lasted for a good hour and a half.

Headbeand, great flavor and aroma but the high only lasted about an hour.

Then we smoked the OG, wow, strong ammonia type aroma, great taste, half way through the joint the wife and I were completely stoned! High lasted a good 2 hours!

Not sure what is next, be back later to report!

Happy 420 to all!

Depends how much you got going on! Once I get into day 3 of trimming I wish it were over ;) :)

Did Thunder go out to Denver for the cup? Thought I read something about that earlier and haven't seen a post from him in a few, regardless I hope everything is good with Thunder and his clan!

Hell no Ninja, you do everything right! I just meant if I only have 2 plants to trim I love it but if I have 20 and it takes me 5 days, by day three I wish I was done. :)

Speaking of trimming this is one of the cooler things I saw this weekend. http://thewhiptrimmer.com/ It allows you to precision trim without beating the shit out of them like most trimmer do!
Hey Thundercat, been lurkin' in the shadows for some time now. Things look good man!

That trimmer looks sweet..its the first one that I've seen that really prob wont get all mucked up or slice the buds too bad. I wonder if you can use it to trim wet buds?? Doesn't really look like it tho, huh?

Do you guys trim pre or post dry? Just for my own curiosity.

I do pre cause i make dry ice hash from the trim right away so ive got some smoke that doesnt need to cure aand dry. Ive never tried trimming dry. Wouldnt it be a giant pain in the ass?

I make hash with the trim as well...but I have to dry and cure the trim before I can apply my wax making method..
You say, Ninja, that you don't have to wait for the trim to dry with dry ice??

...And yes I have helped a few friends of mine trim already dried bud, and it was a huge pain in the ass for me. lol

Thanks for stopping by man. I personally trim dry most of the time. I find it very simple and I feel that leaving the leaves on while I dry helps to slow the drying process, and inturn help produce a nice product. If you've got a super humidity controlled drying room it prolly doesn't make all that much difference though. My drying area is not controlled at all so I use my techniques to control the dry time. By leaving the leaves on it usually takes about a week for things to dry which works for me.

I don't see any reason that trimmer wouldn't work on wet bud. It might not be ideal because of the bubble bags and stuff but I think it would work. Perhaps if you were trimming wet take the bags out and just stick a bucket under it to catch the stuff i don't know. Its definitely the first trimmer I've ever thought had about since it lets you do precision work on the buds.

Yes, trimming dry is a pain, and yes, I think it produces a better cure. I'm planning on getting around the dry trim blues by only keeping the very top colas and fresh-freezing the rest for ice hash :)

Oooh man u gotta trim dry...bummer man. Lol

Its so dry here that even if I hang multiple whole plants up in the bathroom, they still dry in 3 days or less. I gotta slice n' dice everything then put them in paper bags to slow it down.

What is it that you guys find to be a pain? Maybe its because of my single colas but I usually find I do a nicer job when I trim dry, though that could be due to me being very particular about my trimming. I don't leave any sugar leaves or bits on at all if I can help it.

So I gotta be honest I only skimmed over what you guys wrote while I was gone. It didn't seem like anyone had had any questions or anything so I'm glad you guys got some use out of my thread while I was gone.

So heres a slight over view of the event for everyone!

So the first day was a bit disorganized at the gates, but I only waited in line for 45 minutes (others waited 4 hours :( ) and didn't really care cus I just smoked a couple joints with my buddies that came, and some ladies from the CO licensing board. The second day was much smoother all the way around, they made some changes and things were more organized. I didn't make it 5 feet in the gate before I found a gorgeous Pink gandolf pipe with 24 crt gold fumed stars on it which my wife absolutely loved. Only cost $25 bucks and was nicely made, the blower was there and we talked for a few before he let me sample his kosher kush, and then gave me a .5 to taste with my wife. A bit farther down I found myself a new oney to replace the one I broke.

Walked a little more and got my hightimes gift bag, sadly no buds in it hopefully by next year. There were some great displays of new technology, including the first power trimmer I have ever given a second thought. This unit allows actual precision of hand trimming while allowing you to do larger quantities faster then scissors. It also comes with bubble bags to collect all your keif as you trim. http://thewhiptrimmer.com/ Pretty cool I think, and won't beat the shit out of your buds like most trimmers.

I sadly couldn't make it into the medical area which was sad :( however with some diligents I was able to find seeds in a few other places. Granddaddy purple genetics was selling seeds openly, all they had left when I got there was some "Bay11" which I split a pack of with my buddy. Then a few booths down we found the jack pot! Sin City Seeds had a booth where they were Raffaling off a bunch of glass and other stuff. Well when you bought a raffle ticket for $40 you got to pick a pack of seeds too for free. So me and my buddy each bought 2 tickets. Then split our packs of seeds so we each got all 4 genetics they had. We were able to score https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/sin-city-seeds-nightmare-line-nightmare-og/prod_3900.html, https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/sincityseeds-galactic-jack/prod_3788.html, https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/sin-city-seeds-nightmare-line-powernap/prod_3897.html, also got "Truepower OG" from them which I only could find http://www.homeofthedank.com/enhanced/originals.html. Once the raffle started they also started throwing all kinds of stuff out to the crowd. I Scored a Tshirt, a THC gummy bear, and last but far from least I scored 1 of 5 packs of special seeds. I managed to score a pack of Sinmints which is at the bottom of that last link. That made my day, I've wanted to get my hands on some form of the girl scout cookie genetics, and this seems like it should be super dank. Getting the Sinmints really made me over look any poor feelings I had about the whole event.

So after getting genetics my trip was mostly complete. I was slightly disappointed that there wasn't hardly any actual bud there. However once I found "dab city" I didn't care much more. "Dab City" was a huge area outdoors with basically bars set up with about 15-20 beautiful glass bongs and oil rigs all around. They each had someone sitting there providing free dabs of oil, shatter, or wax from various different genetics. Just about each station was a different flavor, it was amazing. I had never dabbed oil, only smoked it on a bowl or blunt. The flavor was what really blew my mind, it was so clean and pure absulutely amazing. This inspired me to buy a simple oil rig for my new bong, and I'm so happy I did. I tried it out last night when I got home with some blond charas I had here, and OMG its so much better then any other method I've tried. Its a bit of a hassle messing with the torch and all but so worth it after that first hit!

Sooooo thats just a slight taste of everything there, it would take all day to talk about it all, but to put it simply I will be going again next year and I think it will be even better! There was some cool technology which as I read all the info I got I'll prolly post some links to different things like that trimmer. Nothing really ground breaking but neat. Hope you guys had as nice of a weekend as I did. I even came home to my garden looking great, thanks to my wife, and am one step closer to that next harvest!

I said it last night and I'll say it again First US Cannabis Cup was LEGEN..................Wait for it :takes a hash rip on the bong:..................DARY!

Peace Guys TC
