The ILGM DownEast 12

5.22 lbs of nuggets from 9 of 12 plants. A little over 1/2lb per plant on average if my observations have been accurate. Of course, pounds of “duff” equates to miles and miles of stonage!

Great Harvest @Willd

I need to be cashing in on the duff. It takes hardly any of it when smoked and it launches you into space. great stuff.

Idk @daz49 Mine’s not electronic. I retrofitted the crank on mine with a 14mm socket & portable drill.
As long as you can place a big bowl under it, that should work.
FYI- my STRAWBERRY KUSH was kinda fluffy too. NOT at all like the rock hard nuggets PURPLE HAZE or GOLD LEAF produced.

I make my oil & butter from bud. I don’t use the leaf for anything other than making hash. Remember, I harvested close to 4lbs of leaf in addition to close to 6 lbs bud. That leaves me with plenty of stock to work with. I don’t do the butter & oil so much these days b/c of the calories & heartburn that greasy food tends to initiate. I also have one of those addictive personalities, so a batch of edibles goes way quicker than it should. I love food but food doesn’t love me so much any more. It wants to hang around on my skeleton. My will power for sweets has gotten better over the years, but I am still a weakling resisting that stuff.

So do you trim it at all before putting it in the trimmer? Believe it or not before I saw a clip of the one I’m getting working, I thought I’d be able to just feed branches into it and it’d neatly spit bud into 1 bag and leaf into another but nothing of the sort lol you need to roll the bud neatly on the table top surface with 3 different running speeds,bless her for ordering it but I would have probably gone for 1 of the bowl one’s to but bless her anyway, my family and friends are really supporting me in what I’m doing here

Remove all of the fan leaves beforehand. I trim all the fan leaves off before I even hang them.
These trimmers are intended to manicure the sugar leaf off.
The fan leaves are worthless and will likely gum up the works.
I jumped the gun back in April, & bought the same kind you got and never took it out of the box. I hope I can return it.

Thanks my friend, yeah most of the family didn’t take the news of my emphysema as well as I did, so they are willing to try just about anything with in reason to keep me around, I guess I’m an important part of the family, yeah it does look like it might damage my buds, as I’ve been trimming some fan leave today and revealing the buds and they are all really covered in frost, both the gold leaf and the super silver haze are totally covered and so I’m not keen to feed them into the machine, you know what I mean, but then I think well if it’s trimming them then the kief must go in the machine

and hopefully not blowing all over your room. you’ll be turning the bag inside-out to thoroughly empty it. Make sure you put something down like newspaper or a tarp if you’re emptying into something on your kitchen table or workbench. you don’t want to be cleaning trichomes off your furniture.

AK-47

3.8 oz dried and cured.
It was taken very immature and lost >50% to rot. I’ve gave most of it away, except for some remaining here




That’s what was in the power hitter this morning. It does work but the buzz wears of quickly.

I like this strain very much. Bubba Kush-like hashy scent developing already.

BIG BUD

10.52 OZ



Haven’t sampled much of this one yet. It still smells a little like chlorophyll. The keif and little bit of sugar leaf I rolled up worked well. I don’t have high hopes for this one with 16% THC content. Probably reserve for gifts / edible making.

BUBBLE GUM

8.74 OZ



The fragrance of this one is really getting better every time I open the container. High hopes. I got a hint of bubblegum flavor drawing on an unlit joint. Once it’s cured, vaping with the Volcano should really help accentuate the sweetness.

GOLD LEAF

13.48 OZ



Can say enough. @Ragnar and now @bob31 have had great harvests. @Countryboyjvd1971 set his to flower after 5 weeks because it got so big so fast! WIN WIN WIN Thanks Robert Bergman!
Dense nuggets with the nice smooth burn and smoke.

PINEAPPLE HAZE

8.74 OZ


I haven’t sampled much of this but it’s top shelf and curing quickly. 3 puffs of the joint I rolled from sugar leaf trapped in the shaker after trimming almost made me dizzy and lasted a nice while. Citrusy overtones are identifiable as soon as I crack the lid of the pail.

PURPLE HAZE

9.18 OZ



OMG. This is the oddest smelling bud I’ve ever smoked. It knocks you in the head like THOR’s hammer after a few hits… have a another 2-3 and 10-15 minutes later you’ll be trying to figure out how your feet just gained 10 lbs each.
Serious stuff. So far my favorite, eclipsing my love for Sour Diesel at this time.

A perennial favorite around these parts both online & in real life.
I haven’t had a chance to sample it yet. Needs to cure a little longer.
