[MrMedic]

Thank you for joining! I can see the 8 million tiny leaf tips you're talking about, ill leave alot of them theyre pretty frosty but as of now they're looking like a pain to trim.

Day 47:

Canopy seems happy. In order to keep the humidity down I've been setting my temperature controller to maintain a lower temperature in order to keep the 8" air extractor cycling more often. This also means the tent is getting more fresh c02. Ppm's have been lowered to 600@.5 (1200μS) progressively throughout week 6. Once 600ppms was hit the plants started to drink twice as much per day and daily growth was noticable. Maybe this is the "less is more" thing I've read coming from alot of you vets. The pistils are mostly white still and I havent had any yellowing yet.

Canopy 69F
Res 61F

Just some bud

And a size comparison, the outside colas are a Sprite n' a bit

And the inner colas are about a Sprite n' 3/4

The can is so sticky.

Good looking garden Medic

Week 7 of Flower
Week 6-7 comparison

The buds have really thickened out this week. Still no swelling, pistils are 60-70% orange, have not bothered looking at the trics yet. The plants responded well to lower ppms. Through week 7 will continue to lower ppm's ending near 400@.5 by the end of the week. The smell is becoming overpowerful.

Weather report:

Looking good, should start swelling soon for you.

 

[MrMedic]

Hope so! Excited to be covered in sticky goodness trimming these girls

 

[Scrogdawg]

They'll be putting on the big final push and swelling very soon. Going to be a great finish to this grow.

 

[MrMedic]

Thanks for the encouragment! Im still hoping they get a little more dense.

 

[MrMedic]

So, I caved in today. I purchase a 19" Ipower leaf bowl trimmer. I could have bought a replica of the trimpro origional(a flat 18" table style)for the same price but hear they're messy and rough cut, better for a large outdoor harvest. I will do a product review in a few weeks.

 

[Pennywise]

Nice I want to hear how it works for you.

 

[Scrogdawg]

Yes, I'll be very interested in a product report too. Maybe you can get a few before and after bud pictures for comparison.

2 day shipping is just fantastic....
Unboxing of the ipower bow trimmer. The trimmer seems very well constructed, I'm suprised by how thick and sturdy every peice is. An extra set of blades were included, the extras are serrated? A large rubber pad is included to set the bowl on, grips well. A small hand cutter was also included.
The cage wire is thin which should make the trim closer, I will estimate about 1/8 inch. Thats more then you would leave with the ol' fiskers, however within an 1/8 inch should still be completely sugar coated. If you didn't lollipop you may have to do the popcorn buds by hand to avoid the smallest ones turning into shake.
I'm optimistic about this purchase. Ipowers pitch is that they cut as fast as 30 people with snips.

Let's see what the buds look like after a pass thru the trimmer .
