How to Trim Weeds – Before And After Care

Harvest time is over now! You are ready to cut down your homegrown weed bud to trim and store. But does it really important to take care while trimming buds and know how to trim buds properly? Here we are pondering upon the ways to get the best out of your weed production and how we can make the most from it. You may also want to know what the best time for trimming pot is.

Trimming is an art. Once you have grown the entire plant, the final products that you are showing to the customer has to go through the trimming process. What the customer sees is not only the trimming pot quality but the quality of the bud. Before we get into the real juicy stuff on how to trim weeds properly let me go over some interesting facts.

So let’s begin with some useful insights. There are a few ins and outs to why home growers and even mass harvesters prefer trimming weed beforehand. Here there are:

Prize-Winning Appearance

Trimmed weed that is plucked on time is considered as the crème of the yield. The buds you see online, at the dispensary, or any other display are mostly trimmed. Chances are an untrimmed bud would be less attractive and lose the price.

Distinct Smell

A bud that is trimmed earlier before storing in a jar gets its peculiar smell of weed coming all over its being. Whereas if the bud is kept untrimmed it will carry out the odd panty spell-like grass.

Easier To Smoke and Vaporize

Very obvious, cutting off leaves out of the flower will get easy on your throat and lungs while smoking. So trimming off the leafy part makes the buds fit to vaporize.

High THC Absorption

Fan leaves and sugar leaves of the bud have a lower amount of THC so it is better to trim off the leaves to attain a good amount of THC as per gram.

We have enough good reasons to trim weed on time so let’s get start the process of trimming buds.

How to Trim Buds like an Ace:

Things you will require

  • 2 sharp scissors for trimming buds
  • Disposable Gloves
  • 1 tray for keeping the raw buds
  • 1 tray for keeping the trimmed buds
  • 1 tray for collecting the trim

1. Set up your Stage – Trimming Area

Before you set off to trimming the weed process, set a comfortable ambiance for working because this may take a while to complete. Having a broader, clean area is preferable with some fresh air to pass. Grab some entertainment like music or movie alongside to keep you going.

Surely, there will be a little mess, and small leaves spreading here and there so keeping the ground carpet less is suggested. Don’t forget to take small breaks to stretch your arms and to roam around in the house for a fresher perspective to work all over again.

 

2. Put on your Disposable gloves

Preferably latex gloves are an idea to perform this job. They are durable and provide better blockade. Get some rubbing alcohol aside, because when you will be done you will need to get rid of the residuals and it won’t get off with water and soap.

3. Use tough Scissors to cut the Branch

Take it slowly and start by cutting the first branch from the pile. Pay special attention while trimming initially so you may not waste the actual bud.

4. Remove large Fan leaves

You can do this task by simply employing your hands. Usually, these large fan leaves do not possess much THC so it’s better to keep them away from the trim pile.

5. Cut out the Sugar leaves

If you see sugarloaves are covered with a lot of trichrome, rather than putting those along with trim keep them aside. This is due to the reason that if you decide to light it or smoke the leaves burn can actually harm your lungs. The aim is to get close to the perfect bud out of trimming weed. Do not waste them rather use them for making hash and weed butter later.

6. Dispose of the plant

After getting your pure trim, clean the area and the most important thing dispose of the leaves matter responsibly. Cut them into small pieces and coat double bag to never leave traces of weed production.

Can You Get High From Trimming Buds?

Yes, if you are directly exposed to the plant, trimming pot can get you high. Trimming buds for long hours without wearing disposable gloves and maintaining a good distance can get you stoned for some hours.

There are two possibilities, either you get high by touching or by inhaling. Here is the explanation. Weed contains millions of cannabis among which THC is the strongest one. Some types of THC are sticky and stay on the skin while trimming buds. So the act of trimming pot is enough to get you high while interacting your skin with other parts.

So, we come to the point that skin does not exactly absorb the THC but works as a setting for THC that is hard to rinse even after wash.

What you can do is make your trimming pot intervals short and learn how to trim buds more quickly. Also make sure to wear disposable gloves, overall and a mask to lessen the chances of being carried out and get high.

What is the difference between shake and trim?

To understand the difference between the shake and the trim we should be well aware of all the procedures involved in trimming pot.

What is trim?

As layman persons, we all know that trim is the part of the bud that comes out when we get rid of all less THC-containing chunks of the plant. But to be very clear, trimming pot is a matter of quality and potency. You need to have a sound knowledge of how to trim buds in order to get the most THC part in. an advanced level of trimming needs pairing female and male plants while balancing between, trichrome, sugar leaves, and fan leaves.

The cannabis we get from trim is a premium quality product that is used for making edibles and medicines. Avoid smoking it directly because it can literally knock your lungs.

What is Shake?

All the plant growers and cannabis smokers have come across the shake part of the bud. It is simply the remaining part of the bud which falls off after trimming, and shaking while storing the buds into the jars. Shake mostly come out when the buds are dry. The Shake contains all the valuable tiny parts of the bud. It is the mixture of crushed flowers and sugar leaves that gets apart from buds while trimming bud.

The best thing you can do with the shake part of the weed is smoke a full joint or a full-packed bowl to give the high you desire.

You can do whatever you want with the trim and shake but do not throw it away! You can get just as high and/or even make a good tincture for some edibles.
