I hate trim jail, I have to invest in a bowl trimmer for wet weed if I am going to continue down the brown bag route. But to be honest - I struggle with teh concept of the thing.
Spend 3 months or so growing great weed, then put it through a tumbler to scrape of the crystals that have been tenderly grown - i am sure I am being a bit of a dic, but I relly cnt get my head around how it they can clean up well without impacting the amount of trichomes at the end of the process.

Anyway, back to jail, they have to be done by today so I can clean the tent and wilma and get the new lot in their forever home.

Hey man! I had the same reservations with a bowl trimmer to be honest. Was worried I'd put in all this work just for it to be wrecked. After taking the dive and buying one a lot of those worries were just that, worries.

That being said you will get some residue on the bowl trimmer itself, just like your shears. Kinda part of the game. But when trimming 4+oz only takes me like 30-45 mins start to finish with it all trimmed and bagged up it makes it completely worth it for me considering it would have taken me 4-6 hours by hand. The quality remains the same from what I can tell. I hand trim tops and run the rest through my bowl trimmer and I can't tell the difference between the buds when I smoke it. Although I dry trim so that is a bit different from wet. If you get a bowl trimmer I'd suggest dry trimming as wet never worked for me with them.

Bowl trimmers work great and will save you hours in trimming.
Not very expensive and well worth the money.

@Dankerson @420autoflower thanks both - this is teh scenario.
I have a small tent with fan and filter which I use for drying followed by a dry trim. Now with the brown bags which work rather well the dilemma is the wet trim - what are your views of them for that?

 

[Zaaboot]

I feel ya mate, I still have issues getting my head around that concept with the brown bag drying...

But yeah if people like it and have good success with it, why question it.. not sure if I'm gonna use it myself though
I fear the smell might be too strong and hanging them in a tent with a filter seems like a better option to me.

that is the thing, for the small plant when I wa away it worked incredibly well. Now with just one large plant (and 50% of it went directly to the freezer for hash making) it takes up a huge amount of space, Tomorrow I take down the next two plants and it will fill up the entire smoking room and having to leave the large extractor on whilst they dry up. Bit of a dilemma for now as I like the method very much, but I am thinking to use it only for the smaller plants or for when I am away so as not to take up my smoking space

I personally don't like wet trimming, feels like I waste too much product and time. I only dry trim. My usual process is hang dry and then brown bag the last day or two. Then do a final trim up, so it's kinda trimmed in stages. I can hang a bunch of brown bags in my 3x2 in the air and put them on the floor. Don't be afraid to let your buds touch a little bit in the bags they will shrink some anyways.

Hey @Zaaboot, just dropped past and saw this conversation, hope no one minds me chirping up...
I use the paper bags, 3rd or 4th time now, and I may be doing it wrong - it has been said once or twice before! - but I just put a whole plant, wet trimmed (ballache) in a potato sack sized bag and flip the bag each day to ensure no buds are getting damp on the bottom. 10 days to a fortnight later and it's time for a cure in grove bags.
Here's the view of about 400g wet inside the bag after Sunday nights chop and trim session...

That is very useful to know, I am only putting a few nuggets in each bag.

So day 87 or so and it is all down - after two days of trim jail with the purple Punch I got lazy and just chopped and hung them in the tent. The light is at 20% for the seedlings so why not.

Next up in this journal is going to be the Pure Red CBD and a Deadite.
The Mimosa Punch and T&C will start a new thread today

it’s a pain as the lights have just gone out and I want to take the Wilma out for a clean then set the new pots in place and get this going in earnest

cheerio all

Space is always a premium. Give it a trial and see how it goes for you - nothing ventured and all that...
