MARIJUANA  TRIMMING

Marijuana buds should be partially trimmed before they are dried. The final product will taste better and dry properly if the large leaves and stems are removed before drying.

I toured a marijuana breeding facility recently and a bud was obtained of each of fourteen  varieties of marijuana.


The spring return scissors and rubber gloves are essential equipment. Gloves can be removed and dried crushed glans heads which is a charas type hash can be collected from gloves and scissors.

Trimming your personally produced and consumed marijuana does not have to be as exacting as the production of product for sale. As long as the bulk of the large leaves and small leaves which would interfere with drying are removed the marijuana can be placed on a screen and subjected to gentle heat and air movement. Specialty stores have many sizes of drying screens which hang one atop the other to accomplish drying efficiently in a small space.

Some commercial operators use various types of trimming machines. Expensive automatic trimming machines maybe effective for certain parts of some breeds of marijuana. hand trimming can more thoroughly remove small bits of stem which are embedded in the buds. Hand trimmed marijuana might command a premium price due to higher cost and higher quality product.
