i always pic the big fan leaves off first, but i have always had an easier time when i let the plant dry first before i manicure the buds. if you were making hash i have found to be a little better yeild when using fresh manicured buds.

on manicuring the bud its up to you how much leaf material you want, i usually use little sergical ss scissors but it takes way longer and hands start to cramp real bad after 3-4 hrs of trimming. im goin to start shaving the outsides of the buds to manicure cause itll be alot easier on my hands. lol
texas grass Reviewed by texas grass on . Help with manicuring i'm not sure exactly how to mainicure. i understand you should cut larger fan leaves before hanging up to dry but don't really know what to manicure or when to do it (before or after the drying). how much is too much to leave on? and when is it easier to manicure smaller leaves. thanks in advance for any help. also pictures would be great :rastasmoke: Rating: 5
