Well since you asked for my input.....

You will need to trim much closer to the flowers themselves. I understand it is difficult to manicure a preemie....so you really shouldn't be judged.

A lot of the art of manicure comes from working on mature fat buds and even a kindergartner can do it.

But for this type of leafy bud, you just want to trim more green. Them more green you can trim the better. Your pic still has a lot of green. Get rid of the green.

This is why I like to save the green I cut and make oil from it. A lot of times you will cut some flowers getting the green out and that can be some good smoke.

Looks fine for what you had to work with....just remember to lose the green as much as you can. Sometimes, you can dry the bud out, then take it thru another manicure and the greenery will simply crumble off with light gentle handling of the bud.

The green will crumble away.

ONE NOTE******

Thats why its good not to nute the final 3 weeks of flower. The plant will tend to use up its store of nutes then draw from the plant what it can, thus shedding a lot of the green prior to being harvest and doing a lot of the manicure process for you.
HARDDON Reviewed by HARDDON on . Harddon, and other manicuring pro's take a look please!! OK, check this chop-job out and tell me if I did ok, and what I did wrong. Also pointers for future reference would greatly be appreciated. I always had someone else manicure my bud and I would give up a quarter of my yeild....but I wanna try this time. So, how did I do? What should I have done differently, or is this fine the way it is? Thanks for the constructive criticism fellas!!-Peace-emtpockets:D Also, if anyone has a pic of manicured pot, (or before and after shots) that would be Rating: 5
