New Grower First harvest; should I trim more?

[Mickeyoneil]

So I chopped the hijack auto today...she was ready man. Really quick and easy grow. 60 days....And I've learned so much over the past few weeks of being on this site (and other sites for that matter) and look forward to trying new techniques moving forward. I'm still growing the TS @64 days. She's been a tough and resilient plant though; I've put that girl through hell!!

Will weigh when dry.

Should I have trimmed them more?

Does the potency of cannabis increase during the curing process?

 

[Snowchicken]

Looks great, I think the taste and smell quality is better but I don't think potency increases any.

I like to trim most of the leaf, as much as i can. I grow for a smoother smoke and prefer less stem. I also trim my buds off the branch. When I hear 7 gram bud, i hear big stem in the middle and leafy. Personal preference i think...

I think they look great man... you can always trim the buds up a little more after there dried and ready for cure

In my opinion, most people trim too tight. If you are using it for yourself and not reselling it, I like to leave a lot of sweet leaf on. It come down to me - if it is covered in trichomes, it stays on. Now if I wanted to market it, yeah I'd make it pretty - leaves all trimmed and looking tight and right.


And those buds are magnificent!

Thanks fellas...yeah this is for personal use so if it was heavily triched, it stayed on.

Another question...when cannabis is weighed, is it weighed after cure or after dry??? Wouldn't think the nugs would lose any weight from curing negligible at most...

If you trim all the sugar leaves with trichcome on them save them and freeze them... hell any trim or lower popcorn with trichs.. make yourself a little hash with it...
