[Goober617]

Who says it's me??? And who where do u get the idea that it's illegal where I live
just throwng people out under the bus huh???!!!!!!
Wait MORE laws???? Huh?

 

[bengrowin]

well if its legal strap it to your back and walk it home or tell whoever it is to LOL and i was only posting it as a joke

 

[alexonfire]

Put it in a black garbage bag, and then trim when you are home. simple

backpack or some sort of carrier bag

Thanks guys. my bad BEng plenty of people like to give a hard time around here.
oh yeah anyone have any thoughts on the whole thumbtacks in the stalk thing???
Much appreciated

 

[gobbly]

If it's legal I say you wrap it in streamers and see if you can attract a parade of onlookers to follow you!

 

[darkdestruction420]

no thumbtacks and how big is the plant?

 

[Goober617]

She's a small one but why no thumbtacks??? I know like I'm gonna wall down a street with a fukin plant that eveyonr
and thief cousin wants to rip or Jack, good idea guy...
I just don't want her to get any kind of damge In the process

The thing I'm worried about most is mold here. I have heard that plastic bags=mold
would a pAper bag be a better solution??? Maybe cut her in a few pieces.
Also is thier an advantage to hanging her with the stalk intact as in compared to chopping the bud at the stem and drying from there. Both from a hanging method......

drying your buds while still on the stalk allows for a little bit longer of a drying time, as the stems contain moisture as well. when the buds are chopped from the stem, they obviously cant transfer moisture from one to the other. so i would imagine they would dry alot faster if deboned, if thats what your into, but the longer the dry the better i say, unless u have a serious mold problem

 

[Goober617]

Thanks bro u think trnaporting in a platic bags a good idea??? (fresh cut on stem)
I do not want to harm her before I get to dry her!!!!! All that for nothing would really piss me off.

dont worry about mold, you will be fine on it unless your driving halfway across the country. the thumbtack in the stem to increase resin levels is a total myth. i'd put em in a rubbermaid tote like thing, the plastic bag isnt a terrible idea, but it also makes me kind of cringe when i think of how it'll knock off trichomes and stick to the plants resin real bad.

 

[Goober617]

Yeah I hear that about the bags...... Would paper bags be better???
Or would that suck thre moisture right out of her?
How about a shoe box?

 

[darkdestruction420]

that should work alright

 

[Goober617]

Cool thanks bro

 

[bengrowin]

Just an idea but since you seemed real worried about damaging the buds maybe if you got some parchment paper from the store you could gently wrap the buds with it then maybe put it in a large tupperware container if it fits. just a random thought tho

When I cut my plants this year, I had some strips of cut up tarp left over, so I laid a piece down in my large Reebok duffel bag.

I then carefully stacked the cut branches into the bag, then carefully wrapped another strip of tarp around the pile in the bag.

When going back to the car to go home, it looks like I'm some sort of workout enthusiast or just some dumb kid carrying a sports bag.
