Harvest this week!!!!! they feel ready... do they look ready?
Look great to me, I enjoy the last week before harvest the most. Cheers to Harvest, dry & cure
Look good enough for the lady I run with! Sexy AF!
I'd take 'em down.
Can't wait to read your opinion on the power trimmers and see how well your Stoneybox work for ya.
i was lucky to have had it for as long as i did so no sad feelings or anything!!
but it's true i do break stuff all the time. a client recently asked me, how do you know so much about fixing things? i said because i've broken a lot of things and had to fix them myself!
my woman got me this shirt years ago.. it should have said i break things and don't know shit!! haha

That’s hilarious. In my younger days I used to help all the single lady friends of my sisters and wife. One day they got together and presented me with a few gifts. One was a T-shirt that had on the back “Ask me I know”.
Nice to be appreciated.
i got a couple clients that treat me like that, they think i know everything... the secret is they just happen to ask questions about stuff i know about.

View attachment 72441
just got four new bags of soil to start the next round... the lineup is set i'm just not sure how i want to grow them yet, maybe mainline again. i really want to see how much this harvest yields before i decide. probably start seeds for next one in a week or so.. i wanna make sure all the mites are gone first. good news is i didn't see any in this harvest but i also didn't inspect every plant either.
the power scissors worked great, no accidents, no blood drawn!!!! pretty ez and comfortable to use. takes any hand fatigue out of it. a tiny learning curve to it but you learn quick. gotta run them pretty slow to keep it neat and clean, if you run them fast it makes a mess. i have black carpeting in this room so i kept it on the slow side. but if you're trimming outside and don't care about saving the trim you can really save time on a fast speed. i surprised on how detailed you can get with it, gets in all the cracks and corners of the bud without snipping off to much. i think i would have accidentally cut more off with hand scissors than i did with the power snips. in fact there were no oop's at all.
i used the power scissors to take the bigger stuff off that didn't have any trics and also used them to trim the colas that i left whole. then i used the bowl trimmer to take care of the rest. this is the first time in a couple years now that i've trimmed wet, probably my last wet harvest as well. i guess one good thing is everything is already done now, just dry and bag! i just like dry processing much better, each to their own.
the entire harvest including clean up was about three hours. i still have all the containers of soil to deal with during the daylight tomorrow and then i'll nuke and clean the cabinet for the next round.
the dry box is loaded and on it's maiden voyage!!!! so far so good. probably should have used hardware wire with smaller holes. the bowl trimmer keeps stuff that i would normally just toss in the tumbler pile so there are some pea size buds that want to fall through the wire, i imagine this will get worse as they dry. so far it's fine but something worth keeping an eye on.
even had enough room to put a box of all the trim inside too, plenty of room for my size harvest so that's great to know.

now i get to concentrate on the the two autos going against the hydro. i don't want to admit this in my other thread yet but the hydro plants are kicking the snot out of the soil plants growth wise. i feel i need to represent soil growers better than this!!!! i'm gonna brew up some good tea and see if we can't get em growing a little faster!!
i'll be sure to report all weights and measures from this crop and even some smoke reports as they happen..
next up will be cultivars: Cherry Pie, California Orange Sherbet, and Gassy Cream Cake all from Redbeard and then Candy Store from Ethos and Amherst Sour Diesel from Humbolt and Sun of a Peach from Anesia seeds.
There should b a medal for light bleaching..got it for the first time this grow..I’m proud as punchi got a couple clients that treat me like that, they think i know everything... the secret is they just happen to ask questions about stuff i know about.

Those CLWs are serious lights for sure.There should b a medal for light bleaching..got it for the first time this grow..I’m proud as punch
oh..nice rack…first time I’ve ever said that to a fella
Agree. I've got a little bleaching going on from before I hippie-rigged some more headroom.Those CLWs are serious lights for sure.
Great report on the power snips man.
I tend to trim where they stand in the grow and never keep anything that's cut off so I go full speed and let everything fall into the tray they're standing in. Yeah little bits of leaf go flying everywhere!
If it has frost I leave it on the plant to dry then I collect it and put it in a grove for squishing later but I dry and cure with that frosty leaf still on the buds.
But yeah like what you did it's mostly all about preference and comfort at that point. What works best for the individual is the best way to do it. Kinda like there's a no wrong way as long as that way work well for the person doing it.
I do love the convenience and speed of the power snips though. That's just huge IMO.
Curious about your dry box as well.
One thing that stands out in these powered rack dryers is buds don't flatten out like they do in those hanging net racks. I think that's the big game changer in this new tech.
Gotta also say your hydro work and that LA has my wheels turning.
I posted about the oxygen difference in your side by side and I'm looking to maybe get even more speed out of the gate.
In addition, I'm not sure but it seems like Stonington may be a little too hot for sprouts.
So I'm gonna do a little test run starting today.
I'm gonna drop some LA in a VG but instead of going into an airpot and soil, I'm gonna stick the sprouts in my clone machine and do the short veg in it then pot them up in soil for flower. Like a test run of a hydro and soil grow in one. I really don't see why it won't work and it would totally eliminate the need for airpots and starting youngsters in soil then upcanning later.

It did. I had to quit running my AC in the lung room. This AC infinity heater just can't keep up. I probably won't use it again.i freakin love that fix man!!! you eliminated the heat from it too!!! have you noticed a temp change at all?
I wanna be like Stoneyi would like to give them a try to trim dry. i watched the video and saw the dude wear more trim than was on the table but i'm not sure how fast he was trimming at. running slow i had no issues with it though, i cleaned it by sound.. when i could hear them starting to chatter i dipped them in the ipa. all the scissor hash went into the ipa though, maybe one day in a few years i'll reclaim the jar. hehe
looks like hulk juice!!

so far it's a fun experiment, i had some issues in the beginning and had to change coarse just a bit but so far it seems like it's doing well. it would probably be better if i didn't keep opening the door to check the buds.
but yeah so far the buds are holding their shape and not sticking to the racks at all.
the LA was the first one i trimmed and didn't use the bowl spinner on it at all. most of it was left whole on the stems and even most of the smaller leaves...

and then some of the others i broke down completely and are ready for storage the way they are..
View attachment 72970
but so far i;m pleased and will require some changes and mods on a couple minor things but i'm still learning things about it and need to research some stuff as well. for instance, when the cooler is running everything is very controllable and very stable. the split second the cooler stops running all chaos starts and rh is almost impossible to wrangle. i've got a work around for now but something i need to address for sure.
it's really awesome having a harvest and the whole front side of my house not smelling!!! thats a win almost in it's own!!!
i've always wanted to start a plan in my cloner, i never thought of using a VG to get it in there!! i bet it would work awesome, get them past that first couple weeks that always seem to go slow during root development. i bet the aero would really help out with that!!! an aero cloner always seems to promote more side roots and less of one large rot like my one dwc did.
very interested to see how great it works!!
those gen1 lights can really bleach em!!!! i like to use it as my guide, a little beaching puts me right on the edge!!! i had more headroom left in the lights but i wasn't raising them!!
racks are working good, i need to make some tighter mesh trays for the smaller stuff. last night was four days in dry parameters now i have it a few ticks dryer for the cure mode. thursday night should be test time!! ...got some serious shrinkage so far, a before and now shot ▼!!! (oh wow i can see a color change too, pretty cool!!!)

Nice bud! Looking good. Love the box. I’m still hanging in the shower.
Things have finally returned to a better state but it’s taking two room dehumidifiers to do it, and this is a few hours before lights out.

Can’t wait to hear how the dry works out. Looking forward to the smoke report.

Lot of badassery going on here. You may have harvested enough to erase memory of the Backyard Brawl. Really interested to see how your dry box works out. Seems like it could be pretty convenient to just clip off the buds, bowl trim and toss in the dry box. Do you see a need to leave them on the stem?
Drink it!
LMAO at my old port names still on there
I thought I gave you the one that came with my inline and was never used but I guess I got them mixed up.
On that bud box do you have a bottom catch tray? I bet all kinds of kief and goody bits will fall to the bottom for collection.
Yeah I don't see why vegging in a cloner won't work. All the times we've let plants just stay in these things and they grow so big the roots won't fit back up thru the hole.
Might have to do some trimming on the center holes of the neoprene so they don't choke a seedling but that's about it I think.
got a question, if i connect two ACI fans together so i only need power going to one, how do i connect the controller to them, where do i put the splitter? after the controller or after the first fan?
Our Eers are heartbreakers. That last 4mins. was a hard to watch. I have a co-worker who gets so frustrated he goes out on the porch during commercial breaks and kicks spindles out of his porch railing. He is definitely not to code by end of season, before he repairs everything.thanks for the kind words man!!! something you don't know.. on saturday i posted in your thread asking you if you happen to just see that touchdown, i believe my words were 3 minutes left, one handed touchdown up by ten points... then i don't know what happened, that last three minutes of clock was the worst!!!!! they lost so fast that was able to back in and just delete my post... i felt like such an ass!! it was like i jinxed em!!
but no, no need at all to keep the stems, just makes it easier to hang and also keeps the buds all on one stick, when dry they will pop right off the stem for ya. i actually prefer just hanging the entire plant whole and then removing everything a couple weeks later when it's dry.
both the power scissors and the bowl trimmer will work dry as well. just a personal preference is all. neither is better than the other. maybe leaving them whole could be a little more risky for rot or mold but if conditions are right it's no worry.
I bowl-trimmed my last harvest wet. It did pretty well, only leaving a few sugar leaves on some nugs. I'll probably do it again. I didn't see a difference in terps from when I dry trimmed with a basting brush, just no finger or scissor hash. It dried in 3 days hanging in racks. That's the big seller for me. Chop, trim, hang and dry in less than 4 days wheras my first harvest took 11 days just to dry. I can't wait that long to smoke my hard-earned nugsI don't think I'd use the bowl for wet trim.
