Save that TRIM!! It has more value than you think it does. Cure it just like the bud. Now take a 120 micron bag and throw in a bout 3 or four oz of trim. Add 2 pound or so of dry ice and shake for 5 minutes or so into a 5 gallon bucket. MAGIC dry ice hash!!

Hey rump,

First I have to start by saying that when I first started growing, I followed your bubble bucket tek and got exceptional results, so thank you for that.

Second, awesome to see you here on RIU. I haven't been on here long so I am just discovering your presence. Needless to say, I am now very happy that i chose RIU to chronicle my adult adventures(i was only 16 when I did my bubble bucket, pulled 128g off that bad boy and the main cola was the stuff of legend :) )

I came across this thread earlier when I was searching for recommendations on curing containers for larger-than-average harvests (possibly you could assist me with this?). Anywho, I loved this write up. Nice complete, clear, and concise tutorial for the newbie. I even picked up a couple tips :)


I suggested to my partner that we try the 2-phase trim as you did(rough trim before hanging, final trim before bagging) as i feel this will help slow the drying process down some what. However, he is very comfortable with his ways as he has been doing this for almost as long as ive been alive, but to me that is no reason to think outside of the box and try something new. He insists that it will be too much work trimming them after they've been hanging(I think he feels that it would be too much like dry-trimming, which sucks IMO).


Is there anyway I can spin this so that he will consider trying it that you can think of? I figure if I tell him 'this is from the man himself' he may be a little more open minded to it. We are dealing with a new climate for the first time(much dryer) and I would like to minimize the risk of overdrying, anyway I can.

Thanks in advance Rump, and once again I am glad I found you here. Will definitely be keeping a close eye on you, I give you a lot of credit for getting me started all those years ago...

I'd love for you to stop by journal sometime and see how I'm doing these days. You'll be happy to see two rather large bubble buckets who are at day 56 today. If you have time of course :)

Cheers,

Crisp

Hey Rumple. Thank you for taking the time to share your methods and experience. I hated having to read through the argumentative guys responses, but past that I got some solid information. I'm one of those "whatever works for you" kinda guys and have tried your method of drying with great results. Not everyone has time to watch RH meter in jars and burp them 4 times a day. This method is a solid mostly hands off approach that works. Kudos for keeping your head while that guy was obviously trying to pick a fight.

The last two posts made my whole day.. Thanks to both of you, this is what keeps me coming back.

You have to understand, that the method I have "chronicled" here is one of many ways to successfully harvest and cure. It is a basic method that will get you started, but may not be the most precise and can fall short of a serious connoisseur's demand. But it will keep that harvest from molding and make some fine bud that will impress most.

Keep improving your methods and not be limited by the opinion of one person. If trimming wet works, do it. But try it both ways.

I like "my" method of drying, but he combo of hydrometers from "A perfect cure every time" and Broveda humidity packs seems to be the foolproof way to cure.

I hate dealing trolls/spell-checkers and bullies, but I see very few of them here, and most can't stand up to the real facts and proof of what works. Good weed tends to make folks friendly, lots of good weed here on Rollitup.com.

Yea I agree.

Back on topic though, I used your method in my first few instances of drying and it worked well. Since then I have stepped up my efforts with hygros and broveda packs. I harvest small amounts and store it in Cvaults with the Broveda packs inside. Just a wonderful way to keep the product farm fresh for a extended period of time. A few have harped on me for buying the Cvaults because they are expensive, but hey I can afford it so piss on em!

Also you are right when you say foolproof. After I learned as much as possible about drying/curing I have set up a nice system for myself.

Cheers.

Trim Bin is another gimmick to separate new growers from their money. My opinion, is to save your money for the important stuff. I have a weird spam feeling about WhatDoYOUTrimIn??

Things are much better now. All the evidence speaks for itself, hard to argue with the facts.

Peace, R.

Question about leaves.
Most threads I am seeing here show unhealthy leaves. burned tips. ugly spots. spindly and ugly looking greens.
what is happening here and how is it affecting the plants?

The potency of weed can be uped by adding a loose electron to the CND's. Curing is a proccess of slow drying(without mold and other nasties) so it smokes and stores better. It does help with the taste.

Do you have a link to substantiate this theory? Or is this kinda like the Chewbacca defense?

If you look at the lay out of THC and cannaboid you'll find the difference between getting high or not is a matter of one loose electron...
