I hear you, Broā¦My bud trimmer will be here this afternoon for that very reason.
Once you decide on a day to cut down, you can start defoliating ahead of the chop day. Remove anything that you donāt intend to either smoke or make edibles with. That helps a lot. Plus; donāt harvest all on the same day; stagger it so you are not overwhelmed. Get some clear totes with sealing lids or new Homers with lids and when properly dry, put in containers before trimming and jarring. That takes a lot of pressure off of you to trim and jar.
One of our growers @Willd, used Homers for his storage seeing as how he had 16 POUNDS of Sour Diesel haha.
I started with 77 plants and clones 5 strains. Great white shark, Bruce Banner, White Widow, GSC, Cinderella 99, and Gorilla Glue Auto, and ended up with 51 plants due to high humidity, Mold, and over fertilization. Itās going to take weeks to trim all this!
@Myfriendis410 Iām hoping to get well over 20lbs. Thatās not a pic of the whole grow just the center of the grow its 2 times the size of the pic.
Home Depot may be your ājarā supplier then. Apparently they work fine and we used hundreds of them in the distillery to store spirits with no issues.
Thanks so much for the info. Now Iām going to try and get some rest. Happy growing guys and I will be sure to keep you all posted. Tomorrow I will send pics of close ups!
Tell me about it, Mother Nature can be extreme at times, looking fabulous, great job, lots of learning curves with the outdoors, let us know what strains took the punishment .,best wishes brother!!!
That is CRAZY!!! Forests of budsā¦
For some reason White Widow from Growers Choice seed bank was the worst. 2 died in ground 2 had to be discarded due to mold. Bruce Banner ILGM, and Great What Shark were rigorous in these conditions. I wish you could get a a smell of them. Unbelievable! You can smell them from like a 1000ft. before you can even see the plants in the forest.
Thanks buddy fir sharing, we both have the same climate, I recommend trainwreck ,purple snowman, power plant and Durban Poison, strain that have taken Mother Natureās furry, I will add yours to the outdoor list, thanks
Will do cant wait untill December to start all over again. Had a late start this year. Didnt really get everything together until May, but my next time will be my best time!
Our errors are learning skills, that prepared for our next grow, Without failure there wouldnāt be success,without risk there aināt no reward, Great job buddy canāt wait for the next one
Just a update on the grow guys. Here are a few pics:
The forest, Bruce Banner 6 weeks into flower, Great White Shark 5 weeks into flower, and Cinderella 99 6 weeks into flower. GSC 9 weeks into flower, and White Widow 7 weeks into flower.
@Mrcrabs @Myfriendis410 @Drinkslinger @Gremmall @merlin44 @PurpNGold74
Wow, looks wonderful
Thanks my friend hopefully I will be able to chop down next month.
Thatās wat Iām aiming for also
Iām thinking about using the A-B-C harvest. Where I chop from the top the first few days then go down the branch. Already got a lot to trim and doing it all by my lonely. Been having a Caterpillar problem. Keep plucking them out a cola are two daily. Any suggestions?
@merlin44, @Mrcrabs, @Myfriendis410, @Gremmall, @PurpNGold74
Hey guys, just left the forest and took my scope with me just to take a look at the trics, and on all the Great White Sharks, and GCSās its red amber everywhere. At least on 20% of all the top colas. Should I chop? Your advice would be very helpful. Thanks guys.
If you are referring to the plants in the photos from yesterday, I would say you still have some time remaining. I think you will see them bulk up over the next week or two (maybe a bit longer).
Ok thanks, I was worried about to much amber. The bottom buds still have a lot of maturing to do, but they all are very dense. I mean extremely rock hard like my indoor grows.
