Aww where’s your optimism?
I'm a pragmatist...

Evening all! Time for the Saturday update. As you may know, I'm headed down to San Diego tomorrow to meet up with a few members because SweetSue is in town. There will be about six of us and I'm bringing a load of clones to offload. Anyway, I won't be here tomorrow so I figured now would be the time to post the AK-47 harvest, on flip day 71!
Heavenly Hybrid mentioned something about turning off the lights before chop so you don't need to wake up early to harvest at lights on. Brilliant! I unplugged the Samsungs last night at 8pm and went in around 9:30 this morning to pull the AK out for harvest. Here it is:
All down and weighed (517 grams with stems and leaves):
I already sent newty her pic of the plant holding the container, so I'll skip it. Here are the bones-o
(for the little ones):
Amy is always here, so here is my tribute to her classic. Always imitated, never duplicated:
Anyone thirsty?
Washed and rinsed:
I started trimming while they were dripping wet per
@BeezLuiz suggestion and it was working pretty well! But uh oh...my son had a soccer game right in the middle of the process
. I couldn't leave them hanging for three hours, so I put them all – trimmed and untrimmed – in the (rinsed) bucket and filled it with water. Of course they float, but I fixed that!
When I got back, my wife and I trimmed them (she took off all those fans and I trimmed and hung them). It took most of the rest of the afternoon but we got it done before the sun went down. Here they are hung for the dry:
BeezLuiz' advice was spot on. As a wet trimmer, I've had problems with the buds drying too quickly after the wash and the leaves wilting back on to the buds, and this prevented it. They may have gotten wetter than normal with the soaking, but I let them line-dry a while after trimming before they went in the box, so I'm sure they'll be fine.
New tricks learned...
double H and BL!
On a cloning note, the BC cuttings have the domes cracked now, a week after putting them in ProMix. I'll probably close them for the night and open them again in the morning.
Also, the Candidas needed water again!
Hope your weekends are all going well!
