I'm back Joe, and it's been awhile since I stopped by. Now I'll have to catch up (quite a bit). Going to get some winks (been up all night). I'll check back later in the day (after I backtrack on your grow). See ya.
Let's grow some Weed!

My Sativa clone that's really not doing so well and a NEW SEED START!
This is one of several new seed starts that are now underway!
I am trying to crack a few new seeds starts in my heated germination station
Joe, I've finally caught up on your journal. I was like a month back so I'm trying to remember all that I wanted to say.
First my condolences to you and your wife at the loss of your girl! Let's see, by now you would have been able to reap the rewards of her final gift to you. Was she kind?
Way to rebound with your new grow!
I keep my CFL's about 3" away from the top of the young ones. I've got the 26w daylight from my friendly Lowes MJ supply store (like 9$ + for 4 bulbs). That should prevent the long stretch that is pretty evident in that photo. I also let a light breeze from the fan strengthen their stems. My own personal experience taught me that stretchy stems like that one in the photo are prone to the 'falling over and dieing' syndrome! I'm not an expert Joe so check with one of the many that are here on your grow before you listen to me. I've had some looking like that one and learned from it! I usually do outdoor grows so in my case the little one would grow too tall indoors (no light) before I'd get them outside in the sun.
Joe I'm glad you and the wife have started again. Count me in buddy!
my 2700k work fine for all stages. I have 13 of those TCP bulbs..

My Sativa was very kind to us and gave us three full Prego spaghetti jars of Buds! We don't have a scale but we harvested enough to hold us over for a while!
I installed a crutch on my new plant this morning to support her stretchy stem. Thanks for reinforcing my thoughts on the matter I was thinking exactly the same thing just a day ago!
We are cracking another Sativa seed right at this moment and hopefully we will have a female replacement to my Sativa that just passed away.

Congrats on the harvest. For a cheap scale Bed Bath and Beyond has inexpensive (under $15) food scales that weigh in onces and grams.

I am just curious but is there such a thing as an electric trimmer for cutting your plant when you have harvested it? Is it easier? I have never heard anything mentioned other than the fact of doing it by hand for endless hours.

There is such a thing, although I don't know much about them. My friend said he saw a demo of one on youtube and it worked great. I don't know where to get them but it may have that info if you can find that on youtube.

I figure someone out there has one and is using it... It would be really neat to see a video on it's effectiveness.
Joe, I saw the thing on You Tube also. If I remember correctly, It's not a cheap devise and would be cost effective for only a large operation (commercial grow).
Speaking of memories, Joe, I think that when I repped you last, (I was in the process of repping a few of my friends) I confused you with HealingKronic! I told him about it yesterday. Remember the 'sketch'! That was his! LOL at least I repped the right people!

I looked into the electric shears and they were like $500. Same with the Spin-Pro trimmer. Could not find anything automated under $500. I will be sticking with scissors.

Those electric shears and trimming machines just chop off the leaves sticking out of the buds. That's the easy part, maybe 5-10% of the work. It's picking out all the little frosty leaves and trichome coated stems from the individual nugs that cramps my hands up and makes me go cross-eyed. lol
They tend to mush up a lot of trichs too. More scissor hash but less trichs for kief or bubble hash processing. If you don't clean those shears often the motors will get hot as hades and can burn out or be very uncomfortable to use. And a slip of the blade is a lot less painful with manual scissors.
Just my 2 cents.

It sure is a monotonous job trimming all of the leaves away it took me 4 sittings to do my 5 foot Sativa plant. The whole time I did it I kept saying to myself "there has got to be a better way!" There probably is a better way but I'm sure it would sacrifice yield in the automated process. I guess doing some things the "old fashioned way" is sometimes for the best.

I have never seen anything like it!!!
What is it called?
How does it work?
Does it work good?
Any chance you will make a Video on it's operation?
