those bigger puppies are also a whole heck of a lot of work....as well when it comes to harvesting things....
Its one of those first world problems you know...
single plants taking ...sometimes a huge amount of time to trim up.
I have always found that if I took off the entire top.... at about the half way point more or less...
and the larger tops from the bottom branches and then I would hang the rest of the plant and just leave it dry...
after with 5 or 6 bottom halves of my plants....dry and open air-cured. and bigger fan leaves either fallen off or removed.. I would put on a pair of gloves...heavy fabric or leather... and one large branch at a time I strip off the rest of the buds and smaller fan leaves, and could usually fill one or two of those large ,multi-layered paper... leaf collection bags from,Canadian tire..
This is what I store, in my garage and mark it un-processed...right on the bag...
key to this logic...is I have left some room in my total storage quota...so as I process this I can fill up the rest of my quota... you know...slowly as I work on the remainder...
I have not seen anything in the reg's with regards to how quickly you have to... dry and process,your outdoor crop,so I take my sweet time....
and process it into hash,or oils or dry sift...and fill up those last few precious grams of room on my storage amount....
and if some has been used up along the way...well then there is a little more room to fill up.
Then at some point in the months after harvest..I reach my quota...and the rest of the bags can be disposed of...via HC destruction process...
Which could go like...adding a 500 ml water bottle, lid intact, and an equal amount of kitty litter, in a zip lock bag...to the large paper bags for disposal.
and putting them out the night before garbage collection.......oh and as a side note...don't forget to phone a friend in need...lol...just kidding of course...
