Trimmings.

[The Grim Reefer]

I have a pretty small amount of hash trimmings that I'd like to store until I get a decent amount saved up.

I have a few questions on the subject I'd like to ask :D

Which container would be best to store the trimmings in?

Should I dry the trimmings before storing them?

What's the best way to dry your trimmings?

Where is the best place to store your trimmings for future usage?

Thanks in advance :stoned:

i have heard that the best way to store ya trimmings is in an airtight bag then in the freezer untill next harvest
cheers alll :)

Hey, Grim, I dry my trimmings in a paper bag, then treat them like I'm doing a lazy cure. I have a large Tupperware container that I put them in after drying, then bring them out once a day and toss 'em around for a couple of weeks. Then they go in a cool, dark closet. (My buds get moved around twice a day for at least a month and are in smaller containers.)

Nobody ever told me what to do and I never asked...it just seemed like common sense to avoid mold and treat the existing THC well.

Ski -

Thanks for the reply. I had heard that plastic altered the taste of the leaves, so I wasn't sure if an airtight container was needed. I have a little cedar box I'm tempted to use, but I wasn't sure if the atmosphere inside of the box would degrade the THC :D
I just like to know the optimal conditions for everything, and that's why I ask.
I actually have a glass jar I'll use to "cure" the trimmings after I dry them.

I don't have any paper bags laying around, I'll have to wait to get to the store later on.

Thanks again!

Please don't take this as being arrogant! I don't understand why all the trouble is taken to make hash, etc. On my first grow I kept all the leaves and found they give a nice buzz using my vaporizer. The poor taste wasn't bad that way either. I'm giving my old vaporizer to a friend and getting the "Volcano" next month! That's a big investment, but holy cow talk about something that will blow your socks off :stoned:

No prob...my buds are cured in glass jars, but I think---without looking---my Tupperware is rubber. Maybe it's a Rubbermaid....

Hehehehehehe, Rubbermaid....

After following Harddon's Hash Oil recipe, rubber was the last thing I tasted. It pretty much just turned a room full of fairly normal people into zombies. Taste wasn't an issue.

Good luck!

I was planning on following the same recipe, ski! How did it turn out? Did you cook it outside?

Lady - I would gladly get a vape if I had the money for it right now, trust me. I've heard nothing but good about them. However, I'll probably wait until I finish the rest of my plants and use those trimmings with my current trimmings and make oil :D

Volcano? I'm jealous!

One of the benefits to making hash oil is that girls on this MB will email you pics of their boobs for a sample.

Not me. I'm not really a boob guy.

Do people sometimes call you arrogant, LV? That exclamation point in your denial might just be a little arrogant;)

I started out on my deck...then took a good look around...and moved it about 30 feet from my house.

I cooked it a little hard my first go 'round. But it was still well worth the trouble. It's a really hardcore body stone, for sure. And sneaky, too. Yeah, sure, I'll take a few more hits, no problem...

Just make a lightbulb vaporizer, it's cheap as hell and works as well as any of the ones that don't have a thermostat. Just google for the building instructions.
