Disabled, senior female noob > LEDs. Have many questions, made mistakes, need advice

[Poppa]

I just toss all those small buds still on plant after harvest in with the trim for making hash or medibles.

[Puglover1]

AccidentalGardener At least I don't have a green cat, those furs would be hard to find and pull out, LOL.

SoOrbudgal I agree. I want to get the closet ready for Wild Thai, might do just two of those, I have some free auto seeds coming, want gelato too. Should I cut stems to size to fit the Trim Bin, to work on them? (my pruners are struggling, tree branch loppers are my only other option) Those buds look nice but they're either not very big or aren't really tight, lowers aren't ripe yet. I just want to do one more drying stint, I borrowed a rack. That room is hard to manage RH, never worried about too high but temps Thursday were 60's daytime, 20's overnight. The furnace ran more while I was asleep, mini humidifier ran out during the night, RH low in the mornings. This is not normal weather here but as long as no snow or need for socks, lol, I'm happy. I jarred 3 (Star) Mason; 6 Midland Mason; 3 Mom's Mason, a Kerr, I have a Magic Mason left for the last batch and I used an empty glass Hain Mayo jar that previously stored vanilla beans, those shaky smalls should smell/taste good. Need to rearrange my pantry for the jars. Ran out of lids, stole one from an empty glass pasta sauce jar I saved. Here are some pics of the buds that are left. Just take it all down at once, ready or not, and clean, clean, clean? My kingdom for some Ritalin, lol, I have nothing else to do for Christmas. TY for everything!

A little dab of dog or cream of cat won't hurt ya. Adds a little flavor, lol

[SoOrbudgal]

Oh look at you busy bee ya know if those old gals were mine i'd not take any clones they look too spent and may just take weeks to root and reveg will take months LOL like 2 maybe more. No i would move on from these, flowering clones are for those who have space and time to nurture. Beautiful harvest i mean it those look all funky mangled but those are great looking buds.

[Puglover1]

I will tweezer out the cat hair that I missed, from the kief.

[Puglover1]

I have nothing drying, everything is jarred, but I have some small tight buds & some loose/airy buds left on the plants. How should I finish this, Mr.furley ? Cut stems off and deal with what's on them, or remove the decent buds and then ... ? Seeds should be here soon, before the closet is empty and clean, probably. I need to start my pain strain soon as I can. I started these Mag seeds in my Aero-Garden, worked great but I don't want them to get ahead of the closet's readiness. Thank you, I've learned so much. The lights will stay where they are and I will raise the pots for the next grow's veg - it's a sativa.

SoOrbudgal Should I try to clone or just scratch it and hope the seeds are for sale when I might need them again? I was so relaxed sitting on the sofa watching Netflix while rubbing the trim in the bin that I almost fell asleep, did not want to awaken to the bin's contents in the shag area rug so I quit and jarred the kief I collected. I was surprised at what I got from the trim I had in the bin, I wasn't done. Thank you for your advice and encouragement.

I don't want to make canna butter or oil for everything, I'd rather add decarbed extraction to what I'm making. I prefer to vape oil over smoking a bowl or joint, bc of my bad hand. I had a great hash/weed pipe back in the day, carb was on the end but now they're all on the side, doesn't work for me. I keep looking for what I had/need. I used to be able to roll one up with one hand while driving on the interstate but those days are over. It's vapes or bats here right now.

I'm on furlough, I got caught up Sunday night. Trimmed & jarred 3 more batches, chopped another that's hanging now. I have 9 jars of bud and 3 jars of smalls, popcorn curing. And a bunch of trim. I'm out of lids, going to check for some I can steal here, might need more Bovida packs. After I chop more top nugs I'm going to be at the clone/reveg point. Closet RH is running low - winter dryness + less vegetation in there now. I'm using the mini humidifier in the drying room, might have to point the fans at containers of water. While tracing stems to chop I found new buds growing on a thick stem in the middle of the middle plant, nice white pistils. They've only been getting water/molasses for three weeks.

[JohnEmad]

Sounds like a good approach to trimming. One of the few drawbacks to a good harvest. ...all the trimming lol

[SoOrbudgal]

We all feel for ya Puglover1 those of us who've had large crops come in all the same time well it's only you to do it. Those who will share the smoke need to help. One day at a time don't sit for long times walk and stretch.

[lalaland]

It really is the worst

[gbauto]

Agreed, trim jail is hard time...

[Puglover1]

Some done, and yet so far to go. I have the weekend free to work, ATM.

[Puglover1]

JohnEmad Thanks. I stood and plucked fan leaves before chopping tops. Then I sat and plucked bigger sugars and small 3-finger leaves to put into trim container. After drying I cut off missed small leaves and scissor trimmed the buds, then into jars. Is that hybrid trimming? lol

[Puglover1]

lalaland No, it just looks brown/dead. Thanks!
