Hey guys! So now that I’m pretty sure my plant is a girl I’m going to need all the stuff to trim, cut, dry, and cure my plant! I figured I would ask you for what is the best of the best for

  • drying racks
  • clippers/shears for trimming
  • the bin thing you are supposed to cut your plants over that has a grate (?) forgot what it was called.
  • mason jars(?)
  • all the things I missed that I know you will recommend so I can have a great harvest!

Let all the experienced and bright canna minds lead me to what I need to get to be even remotely as successful as you guys. :heart::kissing_heart: I appreciate your help so much! Also any advice on how to best dry and cure your plant is greatly appreciated!!

Lovely to be getting to the stage you are, just a couple more patient weeks.

Drying rack:

Trim bin:

Jars:

If you have a decent budget this is a good deal:

Something you are not mentioning is what to do with all your left over trim. Make some natural bubble hash of course.

You will also need a good playlist of music, some groovy netflix lineups and some yoga for your hands and arms. Enjoy.

By trim do you mean the fan leaves or the sugar leaves? Sorry I had to google what bubble hash was. I’m still super green to this marijuana thing. I started seriously smoking it like 1-2 years ago and stuck to mostly edibles so I’m still learning all the magical elements and all the different kinds of cannabis and how to use it/make it.

If you think smoking weed is addictive, try growing it. Welcome to the learning journey. Lots to learn and you in a good place. Yes. I dont really use the fan leaves, I give those to my animals for nutrition. The leftover trim is very good for bubble hash making, and since I learnt to make it, I do it after every harvest. Its really worthwhile as you can look at getting about 5-10% of what you put in to the bags, and it come back as hash. Always a nice treat when homegrown is in low supply.

hey @chrisj I was wondering if you can explain what a trim bag does? I read the description and I don’t really understand how I’m supposed to use it. I know the scissors are for trimming the leaves but what does the collapsible bag do? Thanks so much for your help!

Ac is super important and a dehumidifier will ensure you don’t ruin ur hard work after u chop, aim for temps between 62-68f and rh at 62 or as close as possible. Use a fan in space but blow against wall not on buds.

They keg to nice smooth tasty buds is a consistent drying never letting buds re moisten in the process that is why a dehumidifier is so important. It will prevent buds from smelling like hay,but you want the whole process to happen slowly 10-21 days is best

I’ve got the humidifier. Any recommendations on a dehumidifier that would work for a 4x4 tent?

I prefer dry trim for bud quality, but do some wet trim for the hash quality
