Found a way to post pics from my tablet instead of futzing around with my computer, I'll just have to keep an eye on the memory.
Loosened up the wires holding Lucille and Donatra's side branches to the dowels, even with the rubber it can cause some issues as the branches get thicker.

I'll definitely be breaking out the bowl trimmer for this one, lol!
Even with all the buds I lost to mould last year I almost lost my mind trimming by hand!

Thanks Krissi!
It's a bit better now, blowup a couple days ago really cleared the air.
I just had to keep my temper, even though others felt free to lose their shit.

 

[Melville Hobbes]

Okay, so apparently I don't have posting from my tablet figured out, lol.
Ahh well.
Pics are up now!

Hahaha I didn't trim all mine at once... Everyday while drying I went in a trimmed a bit here and a bit there.... Not sure but I think it helped dry her out a bit faster removing leaves as she dried.

I think I'll go back to using my computer for now, lol. Just a lot easier.

Hahaha I didn't trim all mine at once... Everyday while drying I went in a trimmed a bit here and a bit there.... Not sure but I think it helped dry her out a bit faster removing leaves as she dried.

I did that for the first couple years, but even that didn't really help much. I got the bowl trimmer at the end of last year's trim session and it did a couple of hours work in a few minutes. I'm not after bag appeal, and anything that gets knocked off the buds ends up in the hash bags, so it's perfect for me.

Like the Mister Men book, neat and tidy, tidy and neat!

I remember those! Mr. Tickle scared the hell out of me!

Going out there under the umbrella and cooling off with them is really helping.

Mine too

She's great, but I'm still partial to Donatra.

Good morning my friend.

Thanks Bill!
Everything is fairly good here, I hope things start looking up for you!

Thanks for stopping by everyone, I really appreciate it!
Have a great day!

Now I got a thing for Jacinda

 

[TwelveCoffee]

Yes sir @Melville Hobbes weather is great girls are growing then soon we will both be in trimming hell hahaha

 

[InTheShed]

I remember those! Mr. Tickle scared the hell out of me!

LOLOL! Whatever you do, don't click here!

 

[Melville Hobbes]

Fed them today. They really seemed to need it, no runoff at all. I'll be upping the amount of water I give them again.
Something has been munching on a few leaves here and there. I'm not sure what it is yet, but I'm going to have to be careful treating it. There are currently some predatory mites eating the occasional red spider mites that have been showing up.
I've only seen two so far, no webs, and no spider mite damage, and I saw the predatory mites take care of one of them.

Lucille Skywalker - for anyone wondering, that wooden box in the corner is an earwig trap. I've only caught a few immature ones, so this isn't like last year when I nearly lost a plant to them.

They're all making me happy right now!

Yes sir @Melville Hobbes weather is great girls are growing then soon we will both be in trimming hell hahaha

I still think the bowl trimmer is going to save me some time in trim jail!

LOLOL! Whatever you do, don't click here!

Lol, I did!
It's been a few decades since I was scared of him, but you've got to admit, that's one creepy dude!

Thanks for looking in!
Have a great day!

Steady flow Mel, looking solid on all phenos.

Is there a little preflower stretch on Jacinda? Are you having any signs at all of preflowering? just curious because I been getting some pistils and its not time yet...

Super healthy phenos.

Not yet. I'm not expecting any of them to stretch until about half way through next month. She's just got more sativa in her than the others. Early on she was growing taller faster than the rest, with a more open structure. She still has longer internodes than Donatra and Lucille, and is responding to training faster.

 

[TwelveCoffee]

What’s a trimmer bowel? You got me interested lol

 

[Melville Hobbes]

It's a trimmer sold by @VIVOSUN
Some people won't use them, but I tested one out on the last bit of my last outdoor harvest and it did a fair job of it. It does take off a little more than a hand trim does, but it collects it all in the bowl, and the trim collected there makes excellent ice-water hash.
I'm completely alone for trimming 4 outdoor plants, so a job that would otherwise take several days and a psychotic break takes a couple of hours.
I also don't need to pay as much attention to what I'm doing, so I can watch TV while trimming without losing fingers.

It's 48cm across (19 inches) so a good amount of bud fits in there.
