Day 2 I rough timed plants for 7 hours in preparation for wash yes they wash their bud, Most people would say thats a shitty day but I loved it, I mentioned droughting to one guy that seemed like he knew what he was talking about and he looked at me like I had 3 heads and said if that works everyone would be doing it. I told him many are doing it now but you have to have balls to stress you plant like this. next Thursday I will be repotting the clones. The boss man told me he work train me in all areas of growing and he is keeping his word I will get in the bee hive it will just take some time. I was told they wash their bud in alcohol, but I see alot of baking soda around. Believe it or not they are paying me for this. I work 21 hours a week and they already asked pf I could work more. I think they have a hard time getting help.

You can always point him to the research paper here:
Increasing Inflorescence Dry Weight & Cannabinoid Content In Medical Cannabis Using Controlled Drought Stress
Because linking to pdf files is currently prohibited, research articles and scientific publications cannot be directly accessed by folks visiting this site. Therefore, I've decided to post the research paper titled above by Caplan et al. as images in this thread. I will be requesting that this...

Washing with alcohol would be to make rosin from the flowers rather than cleaning the buds after harvest. Alcohol dissolves trichomes.
Sounds like a fun day at the office!
Sounds great, so glad your enjoying it.
Take care Keith.

Jars are doing fine at 63% I have a question when do I start burping them evert other day? The job was another fun day on Wednesday I trimed before wash again and they do wash with baking soda and lemon juice not alcohol. I cannot believe how much cannabis comes out of this place. The plants are not as nice as the ones everyone grows here, they have a lot of small buds and the plants are not that big but there is so many of them rack after rack keep coming. I can get in the grow rooms now in fact one of them I use the rack to hang by to help keep my back from hurting one of the girls I work with showed me how to hang by my arms to take the pressure off my back. I am the oldest person working here and the only part timer. There is all kids working here, and everyone has been super cool so far. I never see a boss all day it is so layed back and everyone works, I have not seen anyone screwing off also everyone does trim before wash. People have more than one job and after or in between they all come and do trim. There is no one walking around barking orders people just do their jobs. Next Thursday I get to work on the clones can't wait. We get joints for a dollar and 1/8 ths for 7$ every Friday. My hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 7:30 am till 3:30 pm with an hour lunch break I live so close I go home for lunch and my wife has lunch waiting for me. They have already told me I can work more hours if I want, and I may start working a Monday or Friday. It is great start work at 7:30 take a break at 9:30 then lunch at 12:00 back at 1:00 and out at 3:30. Hope you all have a nice weekend and later for now
I’m happy for you Keith and know you’re going to be a Encyclopedia’s worth of growing knowledge. CL
Now that sounds like a nice place to work! What a discount to boot!

I have to say my jars are at week 8 and finally where i want them, they smell wonderful and the buzz is very nice, i would fan the open jar to get some O2 in there.
Im not a bowl smoker but these buds have no bad throat effect

I stop burping after three weeks from harvest but Bill does it for much longer.

Hello all I have been very busy and not around Update at work I am loving I watched the cloning process they cloned new mother plants. I will be doing the bud washing next week I think evry thing is the way you guys do it but in 55 gallon barrels. I picked up my first weekly bud 7 joints and a 1/8th for only $14.38 and I know who made the joints we make a couple thousand every day most of the time more there are 15 lb batches of weed all over I have to run my hands through it so it does not clump up. I met the real master grower he is just a kid but nice as hell thanks to 420 when he say how he grows and feeds I know what he is talking about and he know it He has the nutes down to the gallon and we are talking about thousands of gallons of water if I ask him a question he answers it and if I ask him to show me he does that to, I got to go I'll be back
You have hit the jackpot for a job Keith!

Thanks Shed My jars are doing fine I open them evry two days they go up to 65% then back down under 65% I am giving it away as I will never use it all I do not know why I buy any I have the 13 jars and around 3 lids in bags plus a dozen 1 gram pre rolls. guys at work told me to make some hash and oil. I am going to my cousins tomorrow so our wifes can make peanut butter balls do it every year going to bring him some weed, and I will get a tarte of his. I also going to give him 8 of my sour diesel seeds and get some of his seeds. but I think I may use clones next year I found where I can get them now, still have to germinate 1 or 2 seeds, so I know how to do it.
Sounds wonderful.
Nothing better than actually enjoying your job.
I'm so happy for you Keith.
Wonderful.
Take care.

No work today I went and got covid and it sucks. I went to Boston on Sunday, and it must be where I got it. I hate missing work and hope I test negative soon. I tested 3 times, and it was positive every time. I have a telephone doctor visit tomorrow morning; I have to get the magic pill so I can get over this as fast as possible. I feel like shit.
Damn Keith, sorry to hear that. 
I hope you feel okay and can get back to doing what you enjoy ASAP!
