An Easier-To-Clean-Off Casing Material?

I spent two hours cleaning the coir/clay off my last harvest. A real pain in the ass.
Anyone use an easier-to-remove casing material that doesn't hurt output?

when you don't use a casing at all, you don't have that problem.
otherwise, I always just cut off the bottoms.

I cut the bottoms off also. It takes much of the hassle out of the harvest, especially when harvesting 20+ ounces at a times.

I've done that but it seems like such a waste.
Maybe I should go back.
Hm. Thanks for the input.

my lady dries all the ends and aborts...
she cleans them up after drying...
than makes some killer chocolate treats!!
sometimes she'll just make a batch of tea with them.
no need to waste, per se.

that's a good idea, trim them off the dry all and use the nappy ones for other goodies. Great idea.

Do extractions on all your odds and ends. You might also try using a normal casing material rather than coir and clay.

maybe you'd rather spend 2 hours cleaning out contaminated jars?
come on man thats like complaining your millionaire supermodel wife only wants to have sex and cook you burritos all day
i suppose you could hire some illegals from mexico to do it for you, like that big cave mj grow that got busted recently...
but really its a labor of love no stem left behind!
