Larf Testing - anyone else grab a small lower branch early just to do test

I have no clue but try it and see if you prefer it to iso for cleaning your hands. I keep a jar of iso and put rotate between pairs of scissors in iso. Speaking of which I need to change my ISO and let it evaporate to make tincture.
Iso gets the bulk off, but never really gets it off my hands, so i will absolutely try this. Seeing all those sad duck BP adverts was a real kick in the balls. I was sure if it could help them, it could help little old me.

If I'm wondering I'll pull a couple small buds from the top/sides because the bottoms maybe more immature. Then quick dry in the oven or my volcano and try. I expect it to be somewhat wet and harsh I'm just looking for the high profile at that point not smoke quality.

If I've grown tall plants I've occasionally chopped the top part and come back to the bottoms in a week or two. Your buds look like they had a couple weeks left. Best of luck on your grow.
Oh it's definitely right about 2-3 weeks early. I think it will be somewhere around the 3rd week of November. Just wanted a peek ahead. There is so many small branches on the bottom of the plant it doesn't matter too much. In the end I'll process most of those into Oil. It has at least 20 stalks that are near 7'.

Have you tried oil? I keep some vegetable oil in my grow for just that! I also hate the feeling of oil on my hands but iso drying and crack my hands feels worse. Ahh the sacrifices we must make :eyesmoke: and Dawn dishwashing liquid removes the oil and works as a surfactant when I need one.
You know, I looked (I just started some seedlings inside) but haven't trained them yet. Here in a few weeks I'll post some pics with my wire. I've hundreds of feet of it, so it works great indoors. This is the plant I took some tiny branches off the bottom of. It's been about 2 weeks away for about 4 weeks, so I figure it has 2 weeks to go. Unfortunately it is getting quite cold here quick and I am doing my best to keep it warm. We had the coldest October ever. This week was a bit of a relief with lows in the low 50s to mid 40s

EDIT: I'm high, I quoted the wrong post somehow but oh well. Meant to quote the one about pics of wire. I'm surprised I didn't take any the past few grows but I just stopped taking pics for a year.

Nice! Yeah it snapped cold here a bit early too! I hope your temps stay up for a couple more weeks for you.

Back in the guerilla days we'd cut off a few buds when they were close to ready , chop them up and put them in a paper bag . Bag then went in the back window of a car for a day .
