Good day growers.
I got an early start this morning to take down at least one of the autos.
Both of them look like trims from hell but I chose the Blue Dream'atic because it has the bigger buds.
With so many yellowed and crinkly leaves, this was going to be a job. I started at 8am and finished around 1pm (and that was with some help). It was 4.5 hours of torture followed by about 1/2 hour of washing. All I could think while I was doing it was, "This better be some good bud."
I hand-trimmed 610 oz. of solid stuff leaving me with a substantial amount of airy buds that still held some goodies.
No longer able to continue hand-trimming, I got out my "help" - the lazy man's trimmer.
The airy stuff was tossed in there and produced another 98g of small budlets. This didn't get washed so it will be used for edibles.
So I got in the neighborhood of 700g wet, including stalks.
Chances are that the other auto, the Chocolate Kush, will not get hand-trimmed at all but will be sacrificed to the lazy-man method. I'd need at least 3 days to get to the mental state where I want to go through that again, and I don't have 3 days to wait.
Here's the good stuff all washed up and ready for drying (after I cut off the big stalks). I left one of the nice buds untouched. I'm going to just hang it up to dry and then trim it. I've never tried a dry-trim before and want to see how it goes.
Half the day is gone. I should have gotten up earlier, perhaps at the crack of dawn.
Peace.
