I trim the fan leaves and larger leaves before drying. Then before jarring for the cure I do the fine manicuring. It's easier to trim the majority of leaf material while it's still sticking out straight from the bud. After it wilts, covers the bud and dries it's much harder to trim
Me too. Wet seems easier. But man....I see these 125 buck a quarter baggies of these SUPER trimmed Cali weed! My friend brought me some TRAINWRECK he paid a shitload for....and I smoked it and it was no better than ANY of my weed. But it damn sure LOOKED better! I mean.....jeeeeze! Im guessing the big Cali growers hire a bunch of Mexicans guys to trim their shit for 2 bucks an hour or something? HOW do they get those perfectly trimmed buds? How much TIME does anybody have for those super trims?
I gotta say...my "baggy appeal" is a notch or two below that. It hurts my feelings! I mean....anybody who smokes my weed KNOWS it's CRIPS. But the look....is less perfect than those pricey Cali bags.
Plus, hey, Ive smoked those "sugar leaves", LOL....and looked at them under the 'scope, all covered with trichs. They're too GOOD to NOT smoke, IMO. But the TireKickers complain they aint "pretty".
Do you guys spend hours trimming to perfection? Maybe Im just a lazy slob..... I pinch off the fans and the long sugar leaves, but the small ones I leave on. And smoke the shit out of.
I dunno. I just feel like there are some "weed connoseuers" kinda like wine conneseures who get hung up on the color and "nose" of the wine. I dunno. Seems to me, the poing of smoking weed is the getting high, not the look of the buds.
For instance, my Black Widow aint gorgeous in the baggie. Nor does it have a great taste or smell. But it WILL crucify ya with three tokes.
So, Im kinda confused. I mean, sure IDEALLY, my weed would taste great, smell great AND cripple ya. But IF I have to pick ONE, I'll go for the Cripple Ya. Am I nuts?
Seems like the Younger Heads are all about the taste and smell....and less about potency. Is it just me? Im an Olde Farte and to me, IF weed happens to ALSO taste good or smell good, that's the icing on the cake. But I am totally about potency. Well, not "totally", but BIG-ly. I guess I mean, IF the strain kicks ass, Im less concerned about the niceties of flavor and aroma. I wouldnt trade a great tasing 3 for an ass kicking 5.
Am I, like....just completely out of date? I mean....HOW important IS taste and smell to YOU?
