Boveda
AFN Authorized Vendor
When I began trimming Cannabis plants last year, one thing was evident very quickly: I would never make it as a trimmer who gets paid hourly! But as the harvests go by, I'm getting quicker and with more dexterity. Someone on another forum started raving about dry trimming so I polled some fellow growers and was shocked by the info I got. I knew I had to try it.
So last week I cut a photosensitive Durga Mata 2 CBD to dry trim. I pulled off the large fan leaves and hung it in in branch sections in the closet for 5 days.
One of the major things growers raved about was higher terpene smell and this is absolutely the truth. My sneeze-o-meter was going crazy as I trimmed away. When I put the manicured buds in the jars with their Bovedas, the pungent terps were screaming out of that jar.
So why is this?
One grower stated that he believes there to be some kind of plasma coating action that occurs when you wet trim. This I can definitely see because I often feel moisture drops if/when I pluck larger leaves off. Plus, there is something that almost deadens the scent of the terpenes, don't you find?
When curing, it has always taken several weeks before that sweet terp scent begins to develop while the bud I dry-trimmed and jarred yesterday with a big Boveda is already sneezingly pungent.
Thoughts?
