Trim

[airedog]

Most of the grows are down now. Humidity continues to run rampant in my area and we're trimming before we put everything in Quick Cure racks, instead of hanging to 'snap' stage.

Is there a way to cure the trim, other than spreading it on racks? Finger and scissor hash is giving a positive preview of what's to come.

I cure all my trim(sugar)in brown papaer bags,and then jars if I am using for bho,or straight iso,if I am going to sift for keif than I just place all trim in dehydrator and use my homemade sifter to make pressed hash from that keif,peace

I brought a hanging drying rack from my local grow shop & it does the job excellently.

Hanging dry rack (http://www.growell.co.uk/jumbo-hanging-drying-racks.html)

Im sure you can get one of those quite easily from most stores as hangable storage rack,s but they work great for the drying stage.

Like 420 said another option is brown paper bags or cardboard box,s turned daily should also work.

Best off luck

Ambient RH is running too high to hang branches. I've got a laundry hamper worth of trim, excluding fan leaves. Looks lke we had the same idea for manicured bud; that's filling a QuickCure rack.

I have no space left in the rack for the leaves though (and wonder if it would work, as there would be very little space between them vertically) and I'm wondering if there is a relatively quick solution, as I'm running out of time as well, with company coming for the holiday weekend. The Colombian Gold going an extra 4 weeks and synching up with the Kandy Kush harvest has really made things difficult. While I can always write off the hash, it would be nice to get it.

Great minds my friend. I have found them very good just out of curiosity how long do you dry your buds for in the quick dry rack before you jar them?.

I think the best option would be brown paper bags or can you get a couple of cardboard box,s & divide it between them to help dry it faster?.

I like you have ran out of room for the sugar trim so im using a couple of blu-ray box,s & its working great. What will you be doing with it brother, bubble hash,pollen or a concentrate like bho or iso?. Im bubbling mine but want to let it dry from a good 2-03 weeks i get around 15% return then instead of the average 10%.

Hope you sort it

I've always hung my branches, then used the rack at the end, to finish. Always dry to the stage where you can hear the medium sized stem snap. Then jars, opened daily for 1 - 2 months; at that point I vacuum seal the mason jars and open as needed.

Leaves always came off mostly dry. I'd either run them through a pollinator or bubble. I like the dry sift better for my Piecemaker. I also did hexane extraction for a while; finally decided that if it could not be ingested orally, I was just throwing more toxins in, no more oil for us. We'll also make canna butter and put it in baked goods.
