I just harvested my first girl, and now I am manicuring, but I find myself questioning just how much to manicure. Does anyone have some pictures of fresh, nicely manicured buds?? So I can compare what I've got so far with what it's supposed to look like??? --Dash P.S. Yay me, first harvest!!!!
Congrats on the harvest dash.......im about a month and a half away from my first real harvest - 42o -
It depends how resinous your small leaves are you can leave the really small ones that are as oily as the bud. Its also personal choice some people remove all leaves to make hash and oil.
Clip the bigger ones and if you're hardcore and you want to have a beautiful, perfect product you're going to probably have to use your fingers to pull off the smallest leaves. This adds a lot of time to the process though.
Smoke the leaves they got THC crystals on them thats what the white 'crystals' are. I dont manicure mine.
Cut or pull off your primary fans. Cut off secondary fans (there's 2 of each at the base of each nug). Cut off anything that doesn't have keif crystals on it. Then it'll look like this: Any questions? LG
