Lots of grow shops rent trimming machines.

I didn't know that.
I was actually going to buy 1 of those cantrim trimmer 3 blade. I know it has pros and cons but it will be useful on all the smaller stuff. ( when I say smaller it's still very nice size nugs left but too much for 1 person to handle )

Hi Jay
I have found it works best on plants of that size or bigger....
I would only hand trim ...basically all the main tops. and larger branches .. but pretty much anything from the 1/2 way point down I would let dry on the stalk
hung up somewhere...then I would get those large curb leaf bags...brown paper...type.
once good and dry
put on a decent protective glove... and hold on to the thick end of each...branch
and strip down each branch with the glove... this will make it possible to finish in an hour or two instead of days going thru the lower branches...

I would usually end up with 10 lbs plus of small stuff....especially good for oil or hash making...

I appreciate it. Never thought of stripping into the large leaf bags which I have plenty of.
Didn't want to spend more money on trimmer although I'll definitely need it in the years to come.

I just want to be clear, when I talk about wanting to grow more plants in a greenhouse next year it's not so I can feed the black market..
I have other things I would like to do during my summers then just growing my meds so if I can grow enough meds in 1 season for 2 seasons worth.
I'm sure you get the picture. I don't grow indoors due to lack of space.

I really don't think the guy with 150 plant count that feeds the black market would be on this site and any other forum for that matter.

Just saying!!

I think I'm going to need to clear out some room for a Grow tent. I keep seeing your post and getting jealous lol.

Lol, same here, skipped the outdoor this year and now I'm regretting it seeing yours, damn nice haul there. Should last a little while. I typically a couple of lb. plants outdoor and they go straight into sift for my meds. Indoor is a lot of fun though, I'm concentrating on breeding for a while, that Blue Harley is my CBD project.

I noticed the breeding. Something I need to get into.
I actually didn't even keep a clone from any of my plants. Didn't really care to as I want to try a different seed company cuz I went Feminized this Season and want to to try regular seeds this time around.
I barely have indoor space for females let alone a male or 2 lol.

It is the Blue Ripper (Blue Dream x Jack the Ripper). I harvested one around Day 67, it is hung, drier and in Mason jars curing. Smells and tastes very nice. I did not use any nutes this round since my wife swore she could taste them. This tine it does not have that smell or taste. You would think 5 or more weeks of flushing would take care of that, but not so for us.

Call me crazy but I was going to reach out for help from a couple of guys in the GTA from this forum. However the wife did call me crazy sooooo

Gonna buy an electric trimmer for the rest cuz it's on sale for 275 rather than 699.

If your in the GTA I'll keep you in mind when I have some mason jars full and ready and it turns out to be something nice I'll help out a few guys on the forum from GTA for free who can prove a script.

Again I don't know how it's going to turn out but if it's worthy I will have a few jars to hand out. Hopefully to a few people that need a little interim while they wait on there Crop.

Careful....offering free stuff here will get you banned. They don't like that much for some reason.
