I just checked the plants. Nothing worth taking pictures. My girl is a scientist-collecting and evaluating data. I asked her to look at a few of the "more ripe" plants. I was thinking the hairs were around 50% red. She thinks it's closer to 10%. She's the boss and I know my place. I'm going start chopping when the hairs are 80% red or so. I'm thinking maybe...Friday or Sat I'll be able to take a few.
I need to re-LST my NLB mother tonight. The Tutankhamen still hasn't shown any signs of new growth.
CA215-judging by the 5 gallon bucket I used, I think I had around three gallons of trim in there. One gallon at a time is more along the lines of "manageable" I think an amount of wet trim with the same volume of 5-6 oz of dried bud would be about perfect. I almost bought a set of bags, but I've heard some negative reports of them. Mainly that the finer bags take days to fully drain. That, and they are really expensive, led me to try the Gumpy method. Hell, it works.
I really like sieved and pressed hash. I have a rather large keef box. I take the sandpaper off of my random orbit sander and press it against the top. It's pretty efficient, but doesn't work so well with trim. I'll take and throw all the stems and duff from bags into it and get a nice little treat. If I wait and do a lot of accumulating, I can get a film canisters worth. Press that into a little brick and oh yeah...
There's a company that makes a machine that works just like a gold trommel, but with a much finer screen and is used for separating trichs from waste. Super efficient, but rather spendy. I'm thinking of buying a metal-tubbed rock tumbler, cutting out slots with a plasma torch, and gluing 120 per inch mesh to the inside where I cut the slots. Should work at a fraction of the cost.
Yeah, this site is awesome. I've learned so much here.
My plans are to have a perpetual harvest, being able to cut around two ounces or so a week. The A Trains are about done, but the flowering tent has 24 Northern Light Blues in it-three different ages and two different types of grows. The first four are almost done. I think once the A Trains and the first four NLB's are weighed and I give a smoke report, I will start another journal. I have up and coming Afghan Kush, THC Bomb, and Holy Grail Kush as new mothers, in addition to the one Northern Light Blue that is a mature mother.
