Episode One – Technique in Drying is Paramount to the Nose and Flavor of Connoisseur Marijuana

As long as I can remember, growers have been arguing over the best method to dry, cure and store marijuana to assure the highest quality nose and flavor.

Our goal has always remained the same, to achieve the strongest aroma and taste that is true to the strain we are growing. We have wanted these qualities to be strong, and again, true to the strain.

Factors that contribute heavily to these traits must be accompanied by the following:

– proper moisture content – spongy, sticky texture – rollable consistency – slow burning for pipes

When breaking up the bud we don’t want to experience it turning to powder the way fast dried bud always does. A bit of stickiness, not dampness, should be observed.

Appearance of final product should be as close to the growing flower as possible. Color should be indicative of the strain. The small tips of the smallest leaf should remain pointed and not broken or polished appearing. The crystals should be sparkling and the bud should remain as close to what the growing flower exhibited as possible.

If we get these criteria correct, the “High” we enjoy from the strain will automatically find its most potential. This is connoisseur marijuana!

Compare the enjoyment of of this to the mass produced, fast dried, nuked, garbage the large corporate producers out there have tried shoving down the throats of devotees of the herb today!

In my 60 years of experience (damn, almost hate admitting that) there is only one way of drying to achieve this, SLOWLY! The food production industry has always known the value of taking the right time to dry and cure to preserve and enhance quality, but profit motivated urgency in the weed market has prompted us to overlook the necessary retention of the qualities enjoyed by those who want to actually enjoy the experience of their senses.

I am confident that I can show any grower not only how to reach this level of perfection, but how to save an enormous amount of time and money by doing so with one of my trimming machines. There are some fine tricks and techniques that make it possible for this to be achieved. Only experience can teach us these things.

Over the next series of posts I will be showing you exactly how this is accomplished. Stay tuned!

Yours, Ryan Hall, Shearline

As this is my first blog, ever, I will ask the reader to give me a break on what will probably be an ugly first attempt! I am Ryan Hall, and I have been in this industry since, 1962, when, at the inquisitive age of 12, I planted my first marijuana plant in an old whisky barrel on my moms patio. She was so proud! Finally I had shown an interest in her passion, gardening. Of course, she had no idea what I was attempting to grow. Unfortunately, the man who lived across the street, and worked on the local police force in the small, conservative southern California town we lived in, did. He had a habit of stopping by to check on me, bullshit actually, My mom was a real looker and I was well aware that his real interest in my welfare, was at least partially , based on my mothers attire on a given day. And on one of those days, My mother , with great pride, gave him a tour of her garden and my three month along contribution to it! Later that day, when I was coming home from school, he met me in the front yard, and complimented me on my new found hobby. Without ever mentioning what he saw growing, he suggested I hone my skills on some other flora, carrots, I believe. I agreed with him right away, saying that I had thought those were carrot seeds I had planted! He smiled and walked back across the street without another word. Saved by my mothers yellow sun dress I have always surmised. This, one might expect, should have served as a deterrent to my horticultural aspirations, but showing what was to become a major personality trait through out my life, I stubbornly packed up my young charges and moved them across the viaduct fifty feet from this super cool old guys bee hives! Bees have never bothered me and this new location proved to be the perfect location for me to pull of my first crop! four stunningly gorgeous eight foot tall males. I was stoked! Remember, I was 12! 60 years later! Wow! how the world has changed, folks are, right out in the open, growing massive fields of huge specially bred marijuana plants without being raided at gunpoint, stripped of all their possessions, having their children taken away from them and locked away with violent criminals for the majority of their life. Honestly, I never thought I would see this! So now comes the part that is relevant to my website! The art of growing high quality buds has definitely evolved in leaps and bounds over the years, experimentation, scientific principles and the shear volume of growers now is leading to some amazing strains and growing technics coming to the industry! Along with this ,of course, comes new equipment to help us in this field. Lighting. climate control systems, multitudes of media and nutrient options exist now. The possibilities are endless. And yet, due primarily to the rush of most new participants in the growing end of this market, post processing, or drying, trimming and storage, has not received the attention that is required to see the true potential of all these new growing technics. no matter how resin laden and magnificent your flower appears on the stalk in growth, it can be completely ruined in a few hours of misguided post harvest handling. And surprisingly enough, The larger the grow operation the more likely they seem to be to fail to plan for this crucial step in connoisseur quality cannabis! I have spent the last 24 years, since I invented the first machine that could trim the unwanted leaf off of marijuana flowers, showing growers who would listen, how to slow dry, and properly store and handle flower to assure the strongest aroma, flavor and appearance possible, and to accomplish this with as much automation as is effective. During this period, I have learned many things! Here let me say with all confidence, that yes, you can use my automated trimming system to achieve, in many ways, a superior appearing, smelling and tasting flower then you can with hand trimming. It can be done at a mammoth savings in time , labor and money. However, as I tell every client I speak with, if you are not willing to follow the proper procedures, allot the needed space for the drying and trimming, as well as the cleaning and maintenance of your equipment. The you are going to have to be satisfied with a very small hand operation, or a vastly inferior product that ,by now, I am sure most of you have figured out, is not worth the time and money it took to grow! So, over the next few weeks I am going to concentrate on giving to you, my friends, what I am sure will be exceedingly valuable advise on every aspect of post harvest I have accumulated over my many years of successes and failures! Respectively yours, Ryan Hall, Shearline

Croptober is not too far away. And with it comes the task of preparing your tools and machinery to get the job done of processing your harvests. One of the things you need to get greased up is your bud trimmer that will handle the sun-grown cannabis you will be harvesting.

Bud trimmers come in all sizes with different trimming capabilities and similar features, including quick cleanups. Some can do dry, while others can do both wet and dry. And with technology evolving all the time, manufacturers of bud trimmers churn out newer technologies to develop even more efficient machines.

Of course, newer technologies may confuse or even overwhelm you with better features, which might throw you off-track if you have narrowed down your choices for bud trimmers. With harvest season coming very soon, it might be a good idea to review the latest offerings of automatic bud trimmers before you bite the bullet on a new trimmer.
