Mental and physical challenge, especially if you have to do it on your own, I'm talking about 5lb plus

Depends on your sale price i suppose. Trimming is the most expensive and labor intensive of growing, no matter the scale. But premium is always hand trimmed if you have the contacts who happily pay for it.
Like Beer and veggies and seafood and timber and everything else. Always a premium market if you can access it.

Ok thanks mate, still learning. So do you have a central reservoir where you top it up, add nutes and ph the water once a week or so and that runs to the halos on each plant via a watering timer?

Not great-looking buds, but they're destined for caps/edibles anyway.
Managed to break a jar containing 123g of leftovers IB from last year. Looks like I need to go buy some more coconut oil & do more caps....
AND the fucking chest freezer that I keep everything in has shat itself

In todays pic they have been topped, so bit shorter then they were. The 3 in the back right i've tied them down to try out LST. So far they all look lush green, no signs of issues. I germinated 19 & 20 about a week behind the others because 2 in the original batch didnt germinate so they are smaller.
They dont cast a shadow the size of a football field like some of the trees posted in this thread, but i'm really happy wth their progress so far.
The difference isnt a big this time, but i've done a bit of topping, leaf thinning and LST tying stuff down to see what happens so they will spring back in a few days.
Been getting a lot of fungas gnats, so today all the plants come out and i done a clean of the tent walls and floors with an antibacterial spray essentialy disinfecting the thing.Then all fabric posts, saucers and soil got sprayed with a cold pressed Neem oil solution. They didnt like it at all, so hopefully this helps break the cycle.

Good little article.

I get why the cash croppers do it, especially when the buds are immature anyway.
There was a youtube series of a guy growing in the desert and he machined trim some but all the A grade was hand trimmed by a team he brought in and that was worth a fair bit more than the machine stuff and made a huge difference to his bottom line.
How do you do it @doublejj you machine trim some or none or all? You still squishing allot?
But as we all know the hrly rate in growing is pretty shit balls.
Should You Hand Trim Or Machine Trim Your Cannabis? - RQS Blog
Marijuana buds can be trimmed either by hand, or by machine. Which method you choose will affect the final quality of your buds and their processing time.

Yes I been running the traps on the pots all grow and they catch a lot but not making a dent in the problem. The fabric pots the gnats can go through the walls. So its not just the top soil but the sides and bottom also they can nest in. I hope this neem oil will work.
