I understand, I didn't take it that way...I was just talking about how different it can be from state to state...We're still in the stone ages here and I hate it
I never knew trimming could be so tiring

Just take a look at the closeup I snipped from your image. You can see the majority of the "trichomes" don't have the little round head, just pointy ends. Those are cystolith hairs, not trichomes. Commonly mistaken for trichomes unless you get some magnification going and know the difference to look for. The capitate stalked trichomes are where the majority of the THCa is produced.
I am only trying to point you in the direction of maximizing your grow quality. For a first grow you did well. If you are happy with the results that is all that matters. Sorry if I come off harsh, I am just blunt and to the point. If it was my grow the first thing I would do is invest in some photo genetics. This has the added benefit of being able to keep a mother and clone if you are prone to such things. Second thing I would do is figure out a way to keep the flower clean. Hairs/fibers are one thing but what if it was bugs?
Anyways, happy growing and please don't take my criticism the wrong way, I can be a real dick when I wanna be and this aint that at all lol. Peace.

Yeah imma be in trim jail soon.
Spent the past 5 hours cutting down plants and big leafing. What a pain in the ass. And i had my boy helping.
Probably 60lbs wet.
This is made worse when you have allergies. Itchy skin, itchy throat, itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing.

It truly is the worst part of growing.
I think youre right
I was thinking that. Outside plants could be covered in armadillo poop and it's cool. Indoor and a few hairs and you get called out lol

Trimming is always worse than I expect, and I only ever have between 1-4 plants to do at once!
Have never had to sharpen my scissors, but then I use shears for any branches larger than a quarter inch thick, and both tools are high carbon steel so maybe worth an upgrade? They didn't cost a lot.
Also I recommend an alcohol bath and rag for intermittent cleaning of tools during the trim, and 100% definitely wear gloves! I hate having to clean even a small amount of resin off my fingers when decanting jars etc, the amount from a large trim would drive me insane!

A little olive oil on the sisors also keeps the blades from picking up the hash. Longer time in between cleaning
