Question if you were in my shoes would you remove her from the grow bag or leave her in it.

I’d cut the bottom of the bag at least imo unless you are wanting to save the bag. Could also slice slits around the perimeter.

Thats kinda what I was thinking. If I take her out I most likely would have to cut the bag anyway. Its a 10gal bag. Unless someone knows a trick to get it out without cutting it.

I’d love to know the trick too haha. There was zero way I was getting mine out of the 3gal bags. I did try taking my hands flat and going around the area closest to the bag to break some roots but even then wasn’t happening. So ended up tossing all 4 nice ACI bags.

Just criss cross the bottom once with the box knife. Then dunk her in that hole.

I use a bowl trimmer on most of it, so pretty quick. After my first grow I bought one :rofl:. The big tops, I mostly hand trim. These were fairly easy to trim though as most of the smaller buds were fairly solid. I guessed right on the humidity, all 4 grove bags holding low 60s without me fidgeting with them. Great smell.

I had lots of buds this size.

Now that is a fresh press :+1:. Looks great, going to have to press some and try it.

Think you’ve convinced me into the trim bowls. Years ago it seemed like they took too much off. Seems that they’ve come a ways since back then. Can’t go wrong with the grove bags. I remember when @Audiofreak first introduced us to them several years back. Haven’t deviated since.

Bowl trimmers are the bomb. Only has issues with more airy stuff as it can break up but gets very close on medium to large buds. Worth every dollar. I’d get the largest you can within reason budget wise. Their prices have almost tripled since I got mine.

I’ll have to check them out again. Have one in my attic that was taking way more than I’d like off. I’ve had a trim bin for a few years now and didn’t even think about using the bowl again and just putting all the trim into that to recover all the lost trichomes.

Yup, I pour the trim over my trim bin screen and shake it to collect trichomes. But now I’ve been freezing it to make ice hash once I get a press.

Rub your trim into the screen. Makes a huge difference

Bowl trimmers for the win and your time back! They do knock off a lot of goodie but its not lost, just repurposed :wink: :victory_hand:

I know people might get depressed seeing the trim bowl with trichomes in it but most of them are located inside the bud not what we see on the surface so it’s not much overall.

Edit: To clarify I mean most of the concentration is internal but I’ve not noticed visually much of the outside being knocked off at all.

The pic I posted above was over 4 grams of pure triches. Thats a lot of loss. Can’t imagine how many grams I dropped in the trash before the trim bin.
