    How to get the sticky off

    This may sound stupid to newer growers but has anyone found an easy way to get the sticky off after dealing with flowering plants? Do you just wear long sleeves and gloves? Nothing will take that off.

    Howdy Redwasp, When I need to remove the 'sticky' from my fingers, I just use some plain alcohol based hand sanitizer. It takes it off very fast and completely. The best way is to make 'bugger hash' (rubbing the fingers together and 'rolling' the resin into small balls to remove it, then it can be smoked (usually very good stuff!) LOL! but it works, takes a little time to remove it all. But if You want to clean Your fingers quickly, then the hand sanitizer, or rubbing alcohol will clean them faster ( but nothing left to smoke!)
    Good luck in Your growing.
    Smoke weed,.....grow peace!

      Regular rubbing alcohol (get the 99% or at least 90%)
      Most of us try to preserve trichomes, and avoid touching our flowers, unless it's harvest time.

      What are you doing in there to get all sticky?

        Was clearing out some leaves. Day 34 after shifting to 12 hours. About day 25 of flowering.

          Zoom in on her and you will see why you caant get near her without getting sticky.

          Ah... I see lots of oozing resin on her, the extra sticky kind. Someone claimed it to be "the stickiest natural substance in existence"
          Pine Sap is close: parking under tall spruce or fir trees we get drops of sap on the paint of cars, tough to remove without dissolving the clear coat also.

          When you have to stop what you're doing because fingers and body parts start sticking together, you must be farming some trichomes. Nice looking bud, thanks for the pic.

          Isopropyl rubbing alcohol, the +90% kind works well for me, without hurting the skin too much, and evaporates cleanly.

          I wish I could get pictures more detailed like that just off my iPhone. What equipment did you use for the pic?
