HAIRY FUCKING BUD Weird but true.

I have wonderful pot growing, but dispensary owners and brokers have told me that I have a lot of animal hair (literally) inside my buds. Somebody said that it blows in from around the house where we live and grow (big fans do blow in there) and that the bud literally grows around it.

1. Can I clean it off with a vacuum? (We have a DYSON which is a monster bitch goddess of a vacuum)

2. Can I pick the hairs off with some kind of sticky glove without damaging the bud?

3. Will mosquito netting stop the dog and cat hairs from blowing in and sticking to the bud?

Let's do it the Rocky Mountain Way.

I doubt you can vacuum it out... you need to filter your intakes, and keep your grow area and the surrounding area clean.

I am pretty obsessive about vacuuming the grow area, so I am writing this one off to the immense fans I use to introduce clean, cool dry air into the room. PS I bet that Mosca Negra C99 is pretty awesome....I checked your thread a while back. Best, JD, Co.

If your fans are filtered but you need to seal your room from the hair, I'd use some kind of room screen. Make your own out of screen material at the hardware store, or buy something like this.

Then some hair might blow in when you open your screen to work in the room, so plan your airflow when you open up.

Watch out for animal hair on your clothes, sticky plants will suck them right off your shirt.

I go over my buds at least 3 times, so far no complaints. If you kind of backlight the buds as you trim, especially against a black background, hairs and other debris kind of stand out.

Respect,

Right, if you're accustomed to having animals around your house, you might not notice how much of their hair is stuck to you/your clothes.
Change into a tyvek painting suit when you visit them if you have to.

good drown

what i did was cut a 12"x20" square in the wall of my room, and then i put a A/C filter in there. ALL the air in my grow room gets sucked through that. i have a tiny 3'X12' with 2 600's, so 12"x20" is plenty big.i change it every month on the day, iand when i take it out, you can see all the dirt and hair

I watched a show where part of their special forces training is some weird country was to hangout with a dog that they named for a couple days then they have to slit its throat, apparently this helps them psychologically.

Easy. Just shave your pets.

Plus I'm sure they'll appreciate cooling off during the summer.
