Shack Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi guys, what's your method for manicuring your buds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepleft Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 prefer to cut them off the main stem and hang each stem then after 3 to 4 days when its dry clean leaves off and manicure with spring loaded scissors wearing latex gloves. after its bagged up, leave the bag open a day or so as stems may sweat and re-wet it. used to clean leaves off wet then hang and dry, now like to dry first. allows the head leaf to curl over the buds, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shithappens Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Oh whilst i am the near opposite I cut all fan style leaves wet whilst hanging as near full plant (or divided to aid this pruning) to free the buds to the open air and leave to hang whilst drying till they appear outside bud dry Then i remove most stems leaving handles as best i can and dry till stem snaps Once dry the smaller bud leaves can be cleaned easily as then they can be saved for some nice hash this IMO cuts down on handling the precious stuff when its real sticky I love the sticky fingers and some eucalyptus oil cleans your hands fast scissors i use are not spring loaded gunna look for them man!!

Shack Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 sweet as guys, i'm about 6 weeks from that stage yet but need the info. i've heard some people roll the buds in their hands before curing them, any sense in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Nah, that would just remove some of the trichomes and help you make hand hash, (if you wanted it) but it's got no benefit really aside from perhaps cosmetic. It would end up actually making the weed (very) slightly less potent.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WantDaChronic Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 i clip off the shade leaves and bin them, then i clip off the smaller non-resinous leaf and put that aside for when i run out of smoko....i make sure to get as much stem off with those leaves too as it reduces drying time then i just run the scissors up and down clipping away the resinous leaf as i go and leave the buds with a very minimal amount of leaf on them so it doesnt reduce the weight so much, but once dried i usually cant help myself and manicure the shit out of them untill a 1g bud weighs 0.5g, but has absolutely no leaf on it what so ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shithappens Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hmmm i might have to visit my local granny sewing shop... Find these Scissors a bit cheaper beats going through cheap brand scissors and chucking them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al B. Fuct Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 billo, I'm with you. I trim buds while plants are fresh, right out of the op. It's much easier to snip bud leaves before they have wilted- leaves tend to stick to the shears once floppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
