I've been released from trimming purgatory. 
White Widow harvest is finally complete. I restarted the harvesting activities on Tuesday and finally finished on Wednesday night. I personally spent about 15 hrs trimming, but also got help from my wife (about 8 hrs) and kids + friends (6 hrs).
I am now a true believer in the "no larf" philosophy and have convinced my son of the same. He previously thought I was over pruning and would be hurting yield so I stopped. This plant was so leafy and larfy! 
Oh well, learning opportunity - will do better next grow.
We were in a bit of a hot spell (near 100F for about 3 days) so I decided to dry the buds in my youngest sons recently vacated bedroom where the temp and humidity were near ideal.
In spite of all the tiny buds, there were many very nice, very large and dense buds throughout the plant.
We filled that try five times! We also utilized our bowl trimmer extensively. I only hand-trimmed the top colas. It probably saved me a good 8 hrs of trimming!
I hope you all have a great, relaxing weekend ahead.

on an excellent harvest. That was one beautiful plant.#nolarf
And a huge number of person-hours worth of trimming! I can only imagine what it would have been without the bowl trimmer.
So hard to know when to take down the baseball trophies...

Not hard for me! Everything is coming off the walls once this grow season is over. Giving that room a complete face-lift as soon as I can.
That looked easy! The buds look so fresh and clean coming out of there. And a little silicone spray will take care of that squeak in no time.
I wonder if it would work for the dry trim folks as well.
Did it do anything to those cute little trichs you had on there?
I was wondering about that too. How do you clean the apparatus?
Alkee...
HOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Dang! I knew you were going to call me out on that squeak. I almost went back into the video editor to remove the sound portion of the squeaks, but I figured "only Shed will notice".
I've seen some models come with a dry trim screen, but mine did not.
I inspected the buds with my 50x loupe after the trim, and everything looked great.
It took a little bit of effort, not unreasonable. First I did a dry scrape with a plastic scraper - got some good "scissor hash" from that. Then soaked it in hot soapy water to get the big chunks of plant material off. Finally, iso alcohol/paper tower to remove the resin.

I noticed too, is it a bearing or a clearance issue? And in case I hadn't mentioned it, nice finish on those flowers!

Beautiful harvest. I can’t believe how long that took, even with the help! Actually... I saw the plant, I do believe it!! Congratulations Beez and fam!

It was just the plastic knob of the handle rotating against the metal shaft of the handle. A squirt of WD40 took care of it.
I'm anticipating maybe 18 - 20 oz from it. Northern Lights is a couple weeks away and looking to be very similar to WW.
but I figured "only Shed will notice".
Trimmer hash!
Excellent!That’s good to know - cause man it looked brutal!inspected the buds with my 50x loupe after the trim, and everything looked great.

Thanks Amy! It still has the fruity melon/mango scents, but more in the background now. Pine/juniper is probably more pronounced. I expect it to change somewhat after it cures.Fantastic harvest Luiz and Co.! That’s a massive haul
I decided to clean up my WW remains today...
Oh, and lots of White Widow pipes in my future too!

Where did you get the bowl trimmer ?Not hard for me! Everything is coming off the walls once this grow season is over. Giving that room a complete face-lift as soon as I can.
Ok, I made a quick video of the bowl trimmer in action. Here's the link:

I was going to get it on Amazon for about $120, but my son found it on Ebay for $90.

Great looking root ball... as if we didn't see that coming from the health of the plant.
