I wanted to post this in the cannabis pics thread but was unable..... These are a couple plants ive grown, the red on is the lava starin. they are a lil premuture but they broke off early so ive dried them out and about to cure and smoke em (since i got em!). I love the reddish lava plant, it looks so exotic, the other one looks great also. Has anyone ever smoke some lava before? hell of a experience! these plants all have my nutrients in them and are looking nice.....
do you guys trim your plants right before curing??? I trimmed some of the plants while they were still alive. Have since stopping doing that but im curious, does it really matter??? will it hurt the thc?
